Drill bit for metal MILWAUKEE HSS-G 13.0 mm (single piece)

Single MILWAUKEE HSS-G drill bit with a 13.0 mm diameter designed for drilling metal. Made from high-speed steel (HSS-G), this single-piece drill bit is engineered for cutting through a range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It is intended for use in hand-held drills and drill presses and supplied as one unit for professional tradespeople and DIY users involved in fabrication, maintenance, and repair tasks.

Advantages

The HSS-G material provides a balance of hardness and toughness for effective cutting and wear resistance when drilling metal. Ground point geometry ensures accurate centring and reduced walking at the drill start. The single-piece construction offers dimensional stability and consistent performance under typical drilling loads. The 13.0 mm diameter is suitable for medium-sized holes and compatible with standard drill chucks.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in steel and other metals
• Workshop fabrication and metalworking
• Maintenance and repair tasks on machinery and structures
• Use with hand drills and drill presses

Key specifications

• Material: High-speed steel (HSS-G)
• Diameter: 13.0 mm
• Type: Straight shank drill bit for metal
• Finish: Ground cutting edges for precision
• Supply: Single piece

How to use

Secure the drill bit in the drill chuck so it is properly centred and tightened. Select an appropriate drilling speed for the material being worked—lower speeds for harder metals and higher speeds for softer metals—while applying steady, even pressure. Use cutting fluid or lubricant to reduce heat and extend tool life when drilling thicker or harder metal. Withdraw the bit occasionally to clear chips and prevent clogging.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match drilling speed and feed rate to the metal type and thickness, use suitable cutting fluid, and ensure the drill and chuck are rigid and well-supported. Inspect the cutting edges before use and replace the bit when wear affects hole quality or increases required feed force.
