Drill Bit for Metal MODECO HSS cylindrical 5.5 mm set of 10 (MN-60-455)

Set of 10 MODECO HSS cylindrical drill bits for metal, diameter 5.5 mm, designed for reliable drilling of steel and other ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Each bit is made from high-speed steel (HSS) and has a cylindrical shank that fits standard drill chucks. The set is intended for workshop, maintenance and production tasks where precise round holes in sheet metal, profiles and components are required.

Advantages

High-speed steel construction provides good hardness and heat resistance for drilling many types of metal. The cylindrical shank ensures stable clamping in standard chucks and simple compatibility with hand and bench drills. Delivered as a set of ten identical bits, the pack reduces downtime by supplying multiple replacements or parallel tooling for multiple operators. The 5.5 mm diameter is suitable for common fastening and pass-through hole requirements in metalworking.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in sheet metal and thin-walled metal parts
• Maintenance and repair tasks on machinery and equipment
• Preparing holes for rivets, bolts and threaded inserts
• Workshop and production use with hand or bench drills

Key specifications

• Material: high-speed steel (HSS)
• Shank type: cylindrical shank for standard chucks
• Diameter: 5.5 mm
• Quantity in set: 10 pieces
• Application: drilling ferrous and non-ferrous metals

How to use

Select a suitable drill speed and feed for the metal type and thickness, clamp the cylindrical shank securely in the drill chuck, and pilot or center the hole if required to ensure accuracy. Use cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling tougher steels to reduce heat and extend tool life. Apply steady pressure and withdraw the bit periodically to clear chips if drilling deeper holes. After use, remove chips from flutes and store the bits in a dry place.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match drill speed to material: higher speeds for softer non-ferrous metals, lower speeds for hardened or thick steels. Use appropriate cutting fluid for steel to improve life and hole quality. Inspect bits for wear or chipping and replace when cutting performance degrades.
