HSS drill bit Proline 8.0 mm – metal and wood drilling

Proline HSS drill bit 8.0 mm for metal and wood, made of high-speed steel for improved wear resistance and consistent cutting performance. The bit has a 135° split-point tip with adjustable clearance grind and is suitable for use with handheld drills and drill presses to produce accurate 8.0 mm holes for assembly, repairs and general workshop tasks.

Advantages

The HSS material ensures good hardness and heat resistance during drilling. A 135° split-point tip with slope adjustment reduces walking on start and improves penetration in metal and wood. Standard shank diameter fits common drill chucks, enabling versatile use in handheld and bench drills.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in mild steel and other metals
• Drilling holes in wood and wood-based materials
• Workshop repairs, assembly and maintenance tasks
• Handheld drill and drill-press applications

How to use

Secure the drill bit in a compatible chuck and tighten firmly. Select an appropriate rotational speed for the material (lower speeds for harder metals, higher for wood). Use steady pressure and keep the drill perpendicular to the workpiece. For drilling metal, apply cutting fluid or coolant as needed to reduce heat and extend tool life. Withdraw periodically to remove chips from the hole.

Usage recommendations

For best results when drilling metal, start with a center punch to prevent the bit from walking. Use appropriate personal protective equipment, clamp the workpiece securely and maintain proper cooling during extended drilling operations.
