Drill bit Proline 26613 — metal bit Ø13 mm, length 150 mm, 1 pc

Proline 26613 is a single metal drill bit with a 13 mm diameter and an overall length of 150 mm. Designed primarily for drilling metal and other hard materials, this bit is supplied as one piece and is compatible with standard chucks. The bit features a ground point and sharpened blade geometry to aid precise centering and straight drilling. A hexagonal shank provides secure grip in chucks and quick-change holders. The drill bit is delivered in a plastic case for storage and protection.

Advantages

The 13 mm diameter and 150 mm length make this Proline metal bit suitable for through-holes and deeper metalworking tasks. The ground point and blade reduce walking at the start of drilling, improving accuracy when positioning a hole. A hexagonal shank enhances bit retention in both keyed and quick-change chucks, reducing slippage under torque. Supplied in a plastic case, the bit is easier to store and transport while remaining protected from damage and corrosion.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in metal sheets, steel and light alloys
• Workshop and construction tasks requiring a precise 13 mm hole
• Use with standard drill chucks and quick-change holders with hex shanks
• Drilling where a protected, single spare bit is needed for field work or service kits

Key specifications

• Diameter: 13 mm
• Overall length: 150 mm
• Material type: metal-working drill geometry (suitable for steel and similar hard materials)
• Tip: ground point for accurate centering
• Shank type: hexagonal
• Packaging: single piece delivered in a plastic case

How to use

Secure the Proline 26613 drill bit in a compatible chuck or quick-change holder, ensuring the hexagonal shank is fully engaged to prevent slipping. Select an appropriate rotation speed and cutting fluid for the metal being drilled; lower speeds and lubricant are recommended for harder steels. Start drilling with light pressure to allow the ground point to center, then apply steady feed until the required depth is reached. Withdraw the bit periodically when drilling deep holes to clear chips and reduce heat build-up.

Usage recommendations

For best results when drilling metal, use appropriate cutting fluid and moderate speed, secure the workpiece, and allow the bit to cool between passes. Store the bit in the provided plastic case to protect the cutting edges and prevent corrosion.
