Drill bit for metal MODECO HSS cylindrical 3 mm set of 10 (MN-60-230)

Steel HSS cylindrical drill bits by MODECO, diameter 3 mm, pack of 10. These high-speed steel bits are designed for drilling through mild steel and a range of other metals. The cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and is compatible with both hand drills and drill presses. The set of ten identical 3 mm bits provides spare pieces for repetitive tasks, reducing downtime during metalworking, repair or fabrication work.

Advantages

High-speed steel construction provides good wear resistance and cutting performance on metal surfaces. The cylindrical shank ensures secure clamping in standard chucks, offering stable rotation and consistent hole diameter. Supplied in a set of ten, the bits allow for continuous work without frequent tool changes and offer cost-effective replacement options for workshops and DIY users. The uniform 3 mm diameter supports precision when repeatedly drilling matching holes.

Suitable for

• Drilling 3 mm holes in mild steel and similar metals
• Metalworking and fabrication tasks
• Repairs and maintenance involving metal parts
• DIY projects requiring precise small-diameter holes

Key specifications

• Material: high-speed steel (HSS)
• Shank type: cylindrical, suitable for standard drill chucks
• Drill diameter: 3 mm
• Set quantity: 10 identical drill bits
• Intended materials: mild steel and various other metals

How to use

Select a suitable cutting speed and apply cutting fluid if drilling harder metals or to extend tool life. Secure the workpiece and clamp the drill bit firmly in the chuck to maintain concentric rotation. Start drilling at low speed to produce a pilot groove, then increase speed as appropriate for material and drill size. Apply steady axial pressure, withdraw periodically to clear chips, and inspect the bit for wear; replace from the set when cutting performance decreases.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. For cleaner holes and longer bit life, use cutting lubricant when drilling metal and avoid excessive side load. Store bits in a dry place to prevent corrosion and keep spare bits organized for quick replacement during extended tasks.
