Drill Bit Set Makita P-60523 — HSS-G Metal 25 pcs, high-speed steel for metal

Makita P-60523 is a 25-piece HSS-G drill bit set engineered for drilling metal. Manufactured from high-speed steel, this set includes a sequence of small to medium diameter bits intended for routine metalworking tasks such as sheet metal, steel plate and general fabrication. The bits are compatible with handheld drills and drill presses and are designed to deliver durable cutting edges for maintenance and production environments.

Advantages

The HSS-G construction provides high hardness and wear resistance at typical metal drilling temperatures, resulting in sustained cutting performance. A comprehensive range of diameters in a single set reduces the need to change tools frequently and ensures quick access to the right size for different holes. The straight shank design fits standard chucks, allowing use with a wide variety of drilling machines. The set is organized to simplify selection and storage, supporting efficient workflow.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in sheet metal and thin steel plates
• General metal fabrication and repair work
• Maintenance tasks using handheld drills or drill presses
• Light industrial and workshop applications requiring multiple diameters

Key specifications

• Material: High-speed steel (HSS-G)
• Number of pieces: 25
• Intended application: Drilling metal (sheet metal, steel plate, general metal)
• Shank type: Straight shank for standard chucks
• Compatibility: Suitable for handheld drills and drill presses

How to use

Select the drill bit size that matches the required hole diameter and secure it in the drill chuck ensuring proper centering and tight clamping. Use appropriate cutting speed and feed for metal materials and apply cutting fluid when drilling harder steels or when extended bit life is desired. Begin at a low speed to establish a pilot hole if needed, then increase speed within the recommended range for HSS bits while maintaining steady pressure. After drilling, clear chips from the hole and inspect the bit for wear; replace or resharpen bits that show significant dulling or damage.

Usage recommendations

For best performance when drilling metals, use cutting fluid to reduce heat and improve chip evacuation, clamp workpieces securely to prevent movement, and select drill speeds appropriate for the material thickness and bit diameter. Store the set in a dry place and keep bits organized to avoid damage and extend service life.
