Drill bit set Proedge 13.0 mm HSS-G TiN for metal, 5 pcs

Proedge 13.0 mm HSS-G TiN drill bit set for metal contains five high-speed steel bits with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating designed for drilling steel and a variety of other metals. Each 13.0 mm bit features the HSS-G geometry optimized for general-purpose metalworking, and the TiN layer improves surface hardness and decreases friction during cutting. The set is compatible with standard drill chucks and is intended for producing through and clearance holes in sheet metal, plates and fabricated parts.

Advantages

The HSS-G substrate provides toughness and heat resistance for sustained cutting performance, while the TiN coating increases wear resistance and reduces built-up edge formation. The consistent 13.0 mm diameter across all five pieces simplifies setup and replacement during repetitive tasks. These bits offer stable concentricity for accurate hole making and are suitable for use in both handheld and machine-mounted drilling operations where standard twist drills are required.

Suitable for

• Drilling through holes and clearance holes in steel and non-ferrous metals
• Workshop and industrial metal fabrication
• Maintenance and repair tasks requiring repeatable 13.0 mm holes
• Use with standard keyed or keyless drill chucks

Key specifications

• Drill type: Twist drill for metal (HSS-G)
• Coating: Titanium nitride (TiN)
• Diameter: 13.0 mm
• Pieces in set: 5
• Intended materials: Steel and other metals

How to use

Secure the chosen 13.0 mm bit in the drill chuck ensuring correct centring and tightening. Select a suitable cutting speed and feed for the metal being drilled; use lower speeds and steady feed rates for harder steels. Apply cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to reduce heat and improve chip evacuation. Drill with moderate pressure, withdraw occasionally for chip clearance when drilling deep holes, and allow the bit to cool between prolonged cuts to maintain tool life.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match drill speed and coolant to the workpiece material, clamp the workpiece securely, and replace worn bits to maintain hole quality. Avoid excessive side loading and use correct pilot holes when required for precise alignment.
