Drill Bit for Metal MODECO HSS cylindrical 10 mm, set of 10 (MN-60-300)

MODECO HSS cylindrical drill bit, 10 mm diameter, set of 10 is designed for general metal drilling tasks. Made from high-speed steel (HSS), each straight-shank bit is suitable for use with hand drills and drill presses in workshop and maintenance environments. The set contains ten identical 10 mm bits intended for repeated use or replacement during machining operations on a variety of ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

Advantages

The HSS material offers a balance of hardness and toughness to resist wear during drilling in metals. The cylindrical (straight) shank ensures compatibility with standard chucks and simplifies rapid bit changes. Supplied as a set of ten, the package reduces downtime by providing spare bits for sequential operations. The single-diameter design supports consistent hole size and repeatability in production or repair tasks.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in mild steel and other ferrous metals
• Working with non-ferrous metals such as aluminum and brass
• Use in hand-held electric drills and bench drill presses
• Maintenance, repair and workshop fabrication tasks

Key specifications

• Material: High-speed steel (HSS)
• Shank type: Cylindrical / straight shank
• Diameter: 10 mm
• Quantity: 10 pieces per pack
• Intended application: Metal drilling

How to use

Select an appropriate cutting speed and feed rate for the metal being drilled, secure the workpiece, and clamp the drill bit in the tool chuck. Use cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling steel to reduce heat and prolong bit life. Start at low speed to create a centre mark or pilot indent if necessary, then proceed at the recommended speed while applying steady pressure. Replace bits from the set as they wear to maintain hole quality.

Usage recommendations

For best results when drilling metals, use a suitable cutting lubricant, moderate feed pressure, and adjust drill speed according to the material: slower speeds for harder steels and higher speeds for softer metals like aluminium. Inspect bits regularly for wear or chipping and replace when performance degrades.
