Drill bit for metal MODECO HSS cylindrical 13 mm set of 5 (MN-60-530)

Set of five MODECO HSS cylindrical drill bits with a 13 mm cutting diameter, designed specifically for drilling metal. Each bit is made from high-speed steel (HSS) to provide hardness and wear resistance for routine workshop and maintenance tasks. The cylindrical shank fits standard chucks on hand drills and drill presses, allowing stable mounting and efficient power transfer during drilling operations.

Advantages

The HSS material offers a balance of toughness and heat resistance, reducing wear during repetitive metal drilling. A consistent 13 mm diameter across the set simplifies bit selection for tasks that require uniform hole size. Cylindrical shanks ensure compatibility with most drill chucks and help maintain concentricity for cleaner holes. The set format supplies multiple spare bits for continuous work without frequent re-sharpening.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in steel and iron
• Working with non-ferrous metals such as aluminum and brass
• General maintenance and repair tasks in workshops
• Use with hand drills and drill presses

Key specifications

• Number of pieces: 5
• Material: High-speed steel (HSS)
• Cutting diameter: 13 mm
• Shank type: Cylindrical
• Intended material: Ferrous and non-ferrous metals

How to use

Secure the selected 13 mm HSS drill bit in the drill chuck, ensuring the shank is clamped firmly and runs true. Mark the drilling position on the workpiece and, if necessary, use a center punch to prevent bit walking. Start drilling at low speed to establish the hole, then increase speed as appropriate for the metal type while applying steady, moderate feed pressure. Use cutting fluid or coolant for thicker steel or prolonged drilling to reduce heat and extend bit life. Withdraw periodically to clear chips and inspect the bit and hole.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match drill speed and feed to the metal being drilled: lower speeds for hardened steel, higher speeds for softer non-ferrous metals. Apply cutting fluid when drilling stainless or thick materials, and replace or re-sharpen bits when wear reduces cutting efficiency.
