Drill bit for metal Smart HSS cylindrical 13 mm set of 5 (MPN 11-130)

Smart HSS cylindrical drill bit set for metal, 13 mm diameter, five pieces. These drill bits are made of high-speed steel (HSS) and are intended for drilling steel and other ferrous and non-ferrous metals with standard drilling machines. The cylindrical shank fits common chucks and the HSS material offers increased wear resistance and heat tolerance for general metalworking, maintenance and fabrication tasks.

Advantages

The set contains five identical 13 mm diameter HSS bits designed to provide consistent hole size and repeatable performance. High-speed steel construction maintains cutting edge hardness at elevated temperatures, reducing premature wear during continuous drilling. The cylindrical shank simplifies mounting in standard keyed or keyless chucks, while the solid construction supports stable drilling and reduced vibration. These characteristics make the set suitable for workshop use and routine metal fabrication tasks.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in steel and cast iron
• Working with non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, brass and copper
• General maintenance and repair tasks on machinery and equipment
• Metal fabrication and workshop projects requiring consistent 13 mm holes

Key specifications

• Material: high-speed steel (HSS)
• Diameter: 13 mm
• Shank type: cylindrical
• Quantity: 5 pieces per set
• Intended use: drilling ferrous and non-ferrous metals

How to use

Secure the appropriate drill bit in the drill chuck, ensuring the cylindrical shank is fully gripped and the bit is centered. Select a suitable cutting speed for 13 mm HSS bits and the workpiece material; lower speeds are recommended for harder steels, higher speeds for softer non-ferrous metals. Use cutting fluid or coolant when drilling steel to reduce heat build-up and extend bit life. Apply steady, even pressure and allow the drill to cut without excessive force; withdraw occasionally to clear chips when drilling deep holes.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use a quality cutting lubricant when working with ferrous metals and maintain moderate feed rates to prevent overheating. Inspect drill bit tips before use and replace bits showing significant wear or chipping to maintain hole quality and operator safety.
