Drill bit Proline 76180P — metal bit Ø18 mm, length 191 mm, 1 pc

Proline 76180P is a single HSS metal drill bit with an 18 mm cutting diameter and an overall length of 191 mm. Made from refined high-speed steel and manufactured to be compatible with DIN 338 standards, this bit is intended for cutting and enlarging holes in various metals. The product is supplied in a PVC case and has a standard shank suitable for use in hand drills and drill presses for general metalworking, maintenance, and fabrication tasks.

Advantages

The HSS refined steel construction provides wear resistance and consistent cutting performance when drilling metal. Compatibility with DIN 338 ensures dimensional and geometric conformity for reliable fit in standard chucks. A 13 mm relief length helps with chip flow and reduces friction along the flutes, while the included PVC case protects the bit during storage and transport.

Suitable for

• Drilling and enlarging holes in steel and non-ferrous metals
• Workshop maintenance and repair tasks
• Fabrication and light manufacturing operations
• Use with hand drills and drill presses

How to use

Secure the drill bit in the chuck of a hand drill or drill press, ensuring it is centered and tightened. Mark and, if necessary, center-punch the drilling location on the metal surface. Use appropriate cutting speed and steady feed pressure for the metal being drilled; apply cutting fluid or coolant for improved chip evacuation and reduced heat when working with harder metals. Withdraw the bit periodically to clear chips and prevent clogging of the flutes.

Usage recommendations

For best results, select drill speeds appropriate for the specific metal (lower speeds for harder steels), use suitable cutting lubricant, and secure the workpiece with a vise or clamps. Inspect the bit for wear before use and replace if the cutting edges are worn or damaged. Keep the bit dry and stored in its PVC case to maintain condition.
