Drill Bit Set MEGA HSS solid cylindrical for metal, assorted sizes 1.5–6.5 mm (model 26313)

Set of MEGA HSS solid cylindrical drill bits for metal, assorted sizes 1.5–6.5 mm. This collection contains multiple high-speed steel (HSS) bits with cylindrical shanks intended for drilling through steel and non-ferrous metals. The assortment covers common small-to-medium hole diameters suitable for workshop tasks, maintenance work and do-it-yourself projects. The bits are compatible with standard chucks on hand drills and drill presses and are supplied as a coordinated set to simplify selection for metalworking tasks.

Advantages

High-speed steel cutting edges offer durability and heat resistance suitable for drilling metal. Cylindrical shanks ensure secure clamping in standard three-jaw chucks and many drill press chucks. The assortment of sizes from 1.5 mm to 6.5 mm reduces the need for individual purchases and provides a progressive range for pilot holes and final diameters. The bits are designed for straightforward use with common drilling equipment and for a variety of metalworking situations.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Drilling holes in mild and carbon steel, sheet metal and castings
• Creating pilot holes for tapping or larger drills
• Maintenance and repair work on metal components
• General workshop and DIY metal fabrication tasks

Key specifications

• Material: high-speed steel (HSS)
• Shank type: cylindrical
• Diameter range: 1.5 mm to 6.5 mm (assorted sizes)
• Intended application: drilling in steel and non-ferrous metals
• Compatibility: suitable for hand drills and drill presses with compatible chucks

How to use

Select the correct drill bit diameter for the required hole, mount the cylindrical shank securely in the drill chuck, and set the drill or press to an appropriate speed for the material. Use cutting lubricant or coolant when drilling harder steels to reduce heat buildup and prolong bit life. Apply steady pressure and allow the bit to cut; retract occasionally to clear chips when drilling deeper holes. After use, clean chips from the flutes and store the bits in their case or a dry, organised tool storage.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use slower speeds for larger diameters and harder materials, and apply a suitable cutting fluid when working with steel. Replace bits that show significant wear, chipping or rounding of the cutting edge to maintain hole quality and operator safety.
