Drill bit for metal Smart HSS point 7.0 mm, pack of 10

Smart HSS point drill bit, 7.0 mm diameter, pack of 10 pieces. This high-speed steel drill bit is intended for drilling holes in steel and other ferrous and non-ferrous metals using standard handheld drill drivers and drill presses. The ground point tip provides accurate centring and helps start holes cleanly, while the HSS material offers wear resistance and maintains cutting edge at typical workshop speeds.

Advantages

The solid HSS construction ensures consistent hardness and durability for repeated metal drilling operations. The point-ground tip reduces walking at hole start and improves positional accuracy without the need for centre punches in many applications. Supplied in a pack of ten, the set offers convenient replacement and reduces downtime in maintenance and fabrication workflows.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in mild and alloy steels
• Working with aluminium, copper and other non-ferrous metals
• General workshop fabrication and maintenance tasks
• Use in handheld drill drivers and pillar/drill presses

Key specifications

• Material: high-speed steel (HSS)
• Tip style: point-ground for precise centring
• Diameter: 7.0 mm
• Pack quantity: 10 pieces
• Suitable for use at conventional drilling speeds for metal

How to use

Secure the workpiece to prevent movement and select an appropriate cutting speed for the metal being drilled. Fit the 7.0 mm HSS bit firmly in the drill chuck and ensure it is properly centred. Start drilling at low speed to establish the hole, applying steady pressure and increasing speed as the bit cuts. Use cutting fluid where appropriate to reduce heat and extend tool life. After use, clear chips and store the bits dry to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

For best results when drilling steel, use moderate feed and appropriate cutting lubricant. Replace worn bits to maintain hole quality and avoid excessive pressure that can cause bit breakage. Match the drill speed to the material: lower speeds for harder steels, higher speeds for softer non-ferrous metals.
