Drill bit MODECO 12 mm MN-61-212 for metal and general purpose

MODECO drill bit 12 mm MN-61-212 is a general-purpose twist drill designed for drilling tasks in metal and common materials. With a 12 mm diameter it fits standard chucks and is suitable for workshop and DIY use. The bit provides straightforward drilling performance for repairs, installations and manufacturing tasks.

Advantages

The solid twist design delivers reliable cutting action in a range of common metals and general-purpose materials. A standard 12 mm diameter ensures compatibility with most handheld and bench drills, allowing quick changes and stable mounting in chucks. The geometry of the flutes evacuates chips efficiently during drilling, reducing heat build-up and aiding consistent hole quality for repeated use.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in mild steel, iron and non-hardened metal sheets
• Workshop maintenance and equipment repairs
• Home DIY projects and furniture assembly
• General fabrication and light manufacturing tasks

Key specifications

• Diameter: 12 mm
• Type: Twist drill (general-purpose)
• Material compatibility: metals and common construction materials
• Shank: straight shank for standard chucks
• Intended use: manual and bench drilling operations

How to use

Secure the drill bit in the chuck, ensuring it is centered and tightened. Select an appropriate drill speed for the material being drilled; lower speeds for harder metals, higher speeds for softer materials. Use cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling metals to extend tool life and improve chip evacuation. Apply steady, even pressure without forcing the bit; withdraw periodically to clear chips on deeper holes and allow cooling.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate eye protection and gloves. Clamp workpieces securely and avoid excessive side load on the drill bit. Replace the bit if cutting performance degrades or if the point becomes damaged to maintain hole accuracy and safety.
