Drill bit for metal Smart 5.0 mm HSS, set of 10

Smart 5.0 mm HSS drill bits, sold in a set of 10, are designed for drilling metal with handheld and stationary drills. Each bit is made from high-speed steel (HSS) and sized to produce consistent 5.0 mm diameter holes in steel and other ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The set provides multiple identical bits for repetitive work, maintenance tasks and small to medium workshop projects where wear resistance and dimensional uniformity are important.

Advantages

High-speed steel construction offers a balance of hardness and toughness suitable for metalworking. The uniform 5.0 mm diameter across all ten bits ensures reproducible hole sizes and reduces setup time when changing bits. These bits are compatible with standard drill chucks and provide reliable cutting performance for general-purpose metal drilling. The set format keeps spare bits available for extended tasks and reduces interruptions caused by dulling or breakage.

Suitable for

• Drilling through mild and alloy steels
• Working with non-ferrous metals such as aluminum and brass
• Workshop production, maintenance and repair jobs
• DIY projects requiring repeated 5.0 mm holes

Key specifications

• Material: high-speed steel (HSS)
• Nominal diameter: 5.0 mm
• Quantity: 10 identical drill bits
• Intended use: drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Compatibility: standard handheld and bench drills with matching chucks

How to use

Secure the selected 5.0 mm HSS bit in the drill chuck and tighten firmly. Mark the drilling point and, if necessary, use a centre punch to prevent walking. Select a suitable speed for the metal being drilled — lower speeds for harder steels, higher speeds for softer non-ferrous metals. Apply steady feed pressure, keep the bit aligned with the intended hole axis, and clear chips frequently to avoid overheating. Use cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling harder alloys to extend bit life.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match drill speed and coolant to the workpiece material, clamp work securely, and replace bits from the set when wear or chipping appears to maintain consistent hole quality.
