Drill bit Smart HSS solid for metal 16.0 mm x 120/178 mm, 1 pc

Solid HSS drill bit Smart for metal with a 16.0 mm diameter and a usable length of 120 mm (overall length 178 mm) is intended for drilling operations in steel and other ferrous and non‑ferrous metals. The one‑piece high‑speed steel construction provides rigidity and dimensional stability during machining. The shank is compatible with standard drill chucks, making the bit suitable for both stationary and portable drilling equipment used in workshops and on job sites.

Advantages

The HSS material offers good wear resistance and heat tolerance for typical metalworking speeds. Single‑piece construction minimizes vibration and runout, improving hole accuracy. The 16.0 mm diameter and extended usable length allow drilling through thicker workpieces or when deeper hole depth is required without changing to longer tooling. Compatibility with standard chucks ensures easy installation and interchangeability with common drill machines.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in steel and cast metals
• Working with non‑ferrous metals such as aluminum and copper
• Workshop repairs and fabrication
• Maintenance tasks and on‑site metal drilling
• Use in portable drills and drill presses with standard chucks

Key specifications

• Material: solid high‑speed steel (HSS)
• Diameter: 16.0 mm
• Usable (cutting) length: 120 mm
• Overall length: 178 mm
• Construction: one‑piece (solid)
• Compatibility: standard drill chucks

How to use

Secure the drill bit in a properly sized standard chuck and tighten to prevent slippage. Mark and center‑punch the drilling location on the workpiece to improve accuracy. Use appropriate cutting speeds and feed rates for the metal being drilled and apply cutting fluid or lubricant where suitable to reduce heat and prolong tool life. Clear chips regularly and allow the bit to cool between long drilling passes to maintain cutting performance.

Usage recommendations

For best results when drilling metal, select a drill speed and feed matched to the material thickness and hardness, use cutting fluid for heat control, and steady the workpiece to reduce vibration. Inspect the bit for wear before use and replace when cutting performance declines.
