Drill bit for metal MODECO HSS cylindrical 11 mm single piece MN-60-510

MODECO HSS cylindrical drill bit 11 mm is a high-speed steel tool intended for drilling metal. The single-piece bit is made from carbide-free HSS and is suitable for use with handheld drills and drill presses. It is designed to cut through steel and other ferrous and non-ferrous metals when used at the correct speed and with appropriate cutting fluid to improve cutting performance and tool life.

Advantages

This HSS drill bit offers reliable toughness and resistance to heat for standard metal drilling tasks. Its cylindrical shank provides stable clamping in common chucks, while the single-piece construction minimises play and reduces the risk of breakage under normal operating conditions. The tool is compatible with typical workshop equipment and maintenance toolkits.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in steel plates and structural metal components
• Fabrication and metalworking in workshops
• Maintenance and repair tasks on machinery and equipment
• Drilling non-ferrous metals such as aluminum and brass

Key specifications

• Material: high-speed steel (HSS), carbide-free
• Diameter: 11 mm
• Shank type: cylindrical
• Piece count: single unit
• Recommended use: cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals

How to use

Secure the drill bit in the chuck of a handheld drill or drill press ensuring the cylindrical shank is fully clamped. Select an appropriate spindle speed for the metal being drilled—lower speeds for harder steels, higher speeds for softer non-ferrous materials. Apply a suitable cutting fluid to the drill point and workpiece to reduce heat and improve chip evacuation. Start drilling at a steady feed rate, withdraw occasionally to clear chips if drilling deep holes, and allow the bit to cool between prolonged cuts to maintain cutting performance and extend tool life.

Usage recommendations

Use cutting oil when drilling steel, control speeds to match material hardness, and inspect the cutting edges regularly. Replace the bit if wear or chipping reduces drilling accuracy or increases required feed force.
