Drill bit for metal Smart HSS cylindrical 6 mm, 10 pcs (model 11-060)

Smart HSS cylindrical drill bits for metal, 6 mm diameter, pack of 10 pieces (model 11-060) are made from high-speed steel to provide reliable performance when drilling ferrous and non-ferrous metals. These straight-shank bits are compatible with hand drills and drill presses, offering consistent 6 mm holes for metalworking, fabrication, repair and maintenance tasks.

Advantages

Constructed from high-speed steel (HSS), the drill bits maintain hardness and cutting edge integrity at elevated temperatures typical of metal drilling. The cylindrical shank ensures stable clamping in standard chucks, while the uniform 6 mm diameter simplifies repeatable hole making. Supplied as a 10-piece pack, the set reduces downtime by providing immediate replacements and supports small production runs or workshop needs.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in steel, iron and other ferrous materials
• Light to medium metal fabrication and sheet metal work
• Repair and maintenance tasks requiring 6 mm holes
• Use with hand drills and bench or pillar drill presses

Key specifications

• Material: high-speed steel (HSS)
• Shank type: cylindrical (straight) shank
• Diameter: 6 mm
• Quantity: 10 pieces per pack
• Recommended use: metal drilling (ferrous and non-ferrous)

How to use

Secure the 6 mm HSS bit in the drill chuck, ensuring the shank is clamped firmly and runout is minimal. Select an appropriate drilling speed for the material—typically medium to high speeds for small diameter HSS bits in mild steel—and apply steady, moderate feed pressure. Use cutting fluid or coolant when drilling thicker or harder metals to reduce heat and extend bit life. After drilling, withdraw the bit while the spindle is still turning to clear chips, then stop the drill and inspect the hole.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match drill speed and feed to the metal type: lower speeds for hardened steels, higher speeds for softer metals. Apply cutting fluid for prolonged life and cleaner holes. Replace bits when chipping or excessive wear appears to maintain hole accuracy.
