Drill bit KREATOR KRT010124 HSS for metal, 13 x 151 mm

HSS metal drill bit KREATOR KRT010124, 13 x 151 mm, is a high-speed steel twist drill designed for drilling steel and other ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The solid HSS construction provides heat resistance and wear tolerance during continuous metal drilling. Length and diameter proportions support use in hand-held drills and drill presses, delivering precise hole placement and consistent chip evacuation for general metalworking, maintenance and repair tasks.

Advantages

The HSS material maintains hardness at elevated cutting temperatures, reducing premature wear during extended use. The standard twist geometry promotes efficient cutting and chip removal, improving hole quality and reducing the need for secondary finishing. Its cylindrical shank fits common three-jaw chucks and collets, enabling straightforward mounting and stable rotation in both portable drills and bench machines.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in steel, stainless steel, aluminum and other metal alloys
• Maintenance, repair and installation tasks in workshops and construction sites
• Use with hand drills and drill presses for through-holes and pilot holes
• Metal fabrication tasks requiring repeatable, accurate hole sizes

Key specifications

• Material: high-speed steel (HSS) for cutting and heat resistance
• Diameter: 13 mm
• Total length: 151 mm
• Flute type: standard twist for chip evacuation
• Shank: cylindrical, suitable for three-jaw chucks and collets
• Typical applications: cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals

How to use

Secure the drill bit in the drill chuck, ensuring the shank is clamped straight and firmly. Select an appropriate spindle speed for the material being drilled — lower speeds for stainless steel and harder alloys, higher speeds for softer metals like aluminum. Use cutting fluid or coolant when drilling thicker sections or harder metals to reduce heat and extend tool life. Apply steady, moderate feed pressure and allow the bit to cut without forcing; periodically withdraw the bit to clear chips if necessary.

Usage recommendations

For best results, choose a drill speed matched to the metal type and apply light cutting fluid when drilling steel. Inspect the bit for wear before extended use and replace when cutting performance degrades to maintain hole accuracy.
