Twist drill bit KWB 159160 HSS Right hand rotation 1 pc

Twist drill bit KWB 159160 HSS is a roll-forged, steam-hardened solid drill with a reduced shank and a 118° tip angle, designed for right-hand rotation and conforming to DIN 338 type N. The tool has a blue-black finish and is supplied as a single piece suitable for standard electric drills; diameters 10.5–16 mm fit chucks with 10 mm capacity, and diameters 17–20 mm fit chucks with 13 mm capacity.

Advantages

The KWB 159160 drill bit features high-strength roll forging and steam hardening for improved wear resistance and tool life. Its reduced shank enables use in standard-capacity drills while the 118° tip angle provides stable centring and efficient cutting. The blue-black surface treatment offers corrosion resistance and clear identification of the tool type.

Suitable for

• Alloyed and mild steel
• Castings
• Non-ferrous metals (e.g., aluminium, brass)
• Hard plastics

How to use

Install the drill bit in the drill chuck and tighten securely. Select an appropriate rotation speed for the material being drilled and use cutting fluid when working with metals to extend tool life and improve chip evacuation. Apply steady feed force without excessive pressure and periodically withdraw the bit to clear chips when drilling deep holes. After use, clean chips and residues and store the bit in a dry place.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match drill speed and cutting lubricant to the work material: lower speeds for hard steels, moderate speeds for non-ferrous metals and plastics. Ensure the drill chuck capacity matches the reduced shank size before operation.
