Makita D-09662 HSS-G Spiral Metal Drill Bit 2 mm

The Makita D-09662 HSS-G spiral metal drill bit is a precision-engineered tool designed for accurate drilling in various metal materials. With a diameter of 2 mm, this drill bit is manufactured from high-speed steel, ensuring durability and resistance to heat during operation. The spiral design facilitates efficient chip removal, which helps maintain a clean cutting path and prevents overheating, ultimately contributing to the longevity of the tool and the quality of the finished hole.

Advantages

This drill bit offers exceptional performance due to its HSS-G construction, which provides a sharper cutting edge compared to standard rolled bits. The ground finish ensures high precision and smooth drilling, reducing the effort required by the user. Its robust design is built to withstand the rigors of frequent use in metalworking, making it a reliable choice for achieving consistent results in both professional workshops and home improvement projects.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in mild steel and non-ferrous metals
• Precision metalworking tasks
• DIY repair and assembly projects
• Creating pilot holes for larger fasteners

This drill bit is not intended for use on hardened steel, stainless steel, or masonry materials, as these require specialized carbide-tipped or cobalt-alloy bits. It is also not suitable for heavy-duty industrial drilling where high-torque impact drivers might cause the small 2 mm diameter bit to snap under pressure.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 2 mm
• Material: HSS-G (High-Speed Steel, ground)
• Type: Spiral metal drill bit
• Total length: 49 mm

How to use

To use the Makita HSS-G drill bit, ensure it is securely fastened in the chuck of your drill. Mark the center of the hole to be drilled using a center punch to prevent the bit from wandering. Apply steady, moderate pressure while maintaining a consistent drill speed suitable for the material being worked on. It is recommended to use a cutting oil to reduce friction and heat, which will extend the life of the bit and improve the finish of the hole.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the chuck capacity of your drill to ensure it can securely hold a 2 mm shank
• Ensure the material being drilled is compatible with HSS-G steel
• Consider purchasing a set if you require multiple sizes for your project

Usage recommendations

Always wear appropriate eye protection when drilling metal. Keep the drill bit clean and store it in a dry place to prevent corrosion. Avoid applying excessive side pressure, as the small 2 mm diameter is susceptible to bending or breaking.
