Set of two KREATOR HEX Metal HSS drill bits, size 4.0 x 96 mm, designed for drilling metal and other hard materials. These high-speed steel (HSS) bits have a 4.0 mm cutting diameter and a 96 mm overall length, with a HEX shank to ensure a secure fit in compatible chucks and quick-change bit holders. The set is intended for workshop use and DIY tasks that require consistent hole quality and bit durability when working with steel, iron, non-ferrous metals and similar materials.
Advantages
The KREATOR HEX Metal HSS drill bits offer high-speed steel construction for wear resistance and heat tolerance during continuous drilling. The 4.0 mm precision ground cutting edges provide reliable centring and consistent hole diameters, while the 96 mm length allows access into deeper workpieces compared with short bits. The HEX shank reduces slippage in hex chucks and impact drivers, improving torque transfer and operational stability. Supplied as a set of two, the bits provide a spare or backup for extended tasks.
Suitable for
- Drilling holes in steel and iron sheets and plates
- Working with non-ferrous metals such as aluminium and brass
- Workshop and professional maintenance tasks
- DIY projects that require precise small-diameter metal holes
Key specifications
- Material: high-speed steel (HSS)
- Cutting diameter: 4.0 mm
- Overall length: 96 mm
- Shank type: HEX shank for secure grip
- Set quantity: 2 drill bits
How to use
Select an appropriate drill or bit holder that accepts HEX shanks and secure the bit firmly before starting. For best results when drilling metal, mark the drilling point, use a centre punch to prevent bit wandering, and start at low speed to establish the hole. Apply steady pressure and moderate drilling speed to avoid overheating; use cutting fluid or lubricant when working with thicker or harder metals to prolong bit life and improve chip evacuation. After use, clean chips from the flutes and store the bits dry to prevent corrosion.
Usage recommendations
Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. Match drill speed and feed to the material being drilled: lower speeds for harder metals and higher speeds for softer non-ferrous materials. Replace bits when cutting edges show wear or the diameter/finish becomes inconsistent.
