Drill Bit Smart HSS straight shank 10 mm set of 5 (model 24-100)

Set of five Smart HSS drill bits with a 10 mm diameter and straight (cylindrical) shank, model 24-100, designed for general-purpose drilling. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS), these bits provide a balance of hardness and toughness suitable for drilling in metal, wood and plastics. The straight shank allows secure mounting in chucks of hand drills and drill presses used in workshops, construction sites and home DIY projects.

Advantages

The high-speed steel construction delivers wear resistance and sustained cutting performance across a range of common materials. Sharp, ground cutting edges ensure efficient chip removal and reduce walking at the start of the hole. A 10 mm diameter offers a standard hole size for many fastening and fitting tasks, and the straight shank design provides compatibility with a wide variety of drill chucks and holders. Supplied as a set of five, the pack supports repeated use and replacement without frequent reordering.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in mild steel and non-ferrous metals
• Creating openings in soft and hardwoods
• Working with plastic components and panels
• Use in hand drills for on-site jobs and in drill presses for bench work
• General repair, installation and DIY fastening tasks

Key specifications

• Material: high-speed steel (HSS)
• Shank type: straight (cylindrical) shank
• Diameter: 10 mm
• Quantity in set: 5 pieces
• Intended materials: metal, wood, plastics

How to use

Select a suitable drill speed and apply steady pressure while keeping the drill perpendicular to the work surface. Secure the bit in the drill chuck by tightening firmly, then start drilling at low speed to establish the pilot engagement and increase speed as the bit cuts. For metal, use cutting fluid or lubricant to reduce heat and prolong bit life. For wood and plastics, ensure stable clamping of the workpiece to prevent splintering or movement.

Usage recommendations

Inspect bits before use for signs of wear or damage and replace if cutting performance is reduced. Match drill speed to material: lower speeds for harder metals, higher speeds for wood and plastics. Use appropriate personal protective equipment, such as eye protection and hearing protection when operating power tools.
