Drill bit Smart HSS straight shank 1 mm, set of 10 (model 24-010)

Set of 10 Smart HSS straight shank drill bits with a 1 mm diameter, model 24-010, designed for small, precise drilling tasks. Each bit is made from high-speed steel (HSS) that provides hardness and wear resistance suitable for drilling into metal, wood and plastics. The straight (cylindrical) shank fits common drill chucks and compact rotary tools, making this set suitable for precision work such as printed circuit board (PCB) drilling, model making and light workshop operations where accurate, small-diameter holes are required.

Advantages

The high-speed steel construction delivers a balance of hardness and toughness for extended life under normal drilling conditions. The 1 mm diameter and fine point geometry allow controlled, accurate starts and reduced walk, which is important for precision tasks. A straight shank ensures compatibility with standard chucks and collets, and the set of ten bits provides spare pieces for repeated use or different project stages.

Suitable for

• Printed circuit board (PCB) drilling and electronics work
• Model making and miniature construction
• Light workshop tasks and maintenance requiring small holes
• Drilling in thin metal sheets, soft woods and common plastics

Key specifications

• Material: high-speed steel (HSS)
• Shank type: straight (cylindrical)
• Drill diameter: 1 mm
• Quantity in set: 10 pieces
• Typical applications: metal, wood, plastic

How to use

Select a drill chuck or collet that securely grips a 1 mm straight shank. Mark and, if needed, center-punch the drilling location to reduce bit walking. Use appropriate rotational speed for the material: higher speeds for thin metals and plastics, moderate speeds for wood. Apply gentle, steady pressure and allow the bit to cut rather than forcing it. Withdraw periodically to clear chips and prevent overheating. For prolonged drilling in metal, use cutting fluid or light lubrication to extend bit life.

Usage recommendations

Use suitable eye protection and secure the workpiece before drilling. Avoid side loading on the small-diameter bits to prevent breakage; consider a drill press or a depth-controlled rotary tool for maximum accuracy and safety.
