Drill bit set Smart365 HSS for metal 1.6 mm — 10 pcs

Smart365 HSS drill bit set for metal contains ten 1.6 mm high-speed steel (HSS) bits designed specifically for drilling small, precise holes in metal. The set is intended for use with handheld drills and drill presses and is suitable for work on thin sheet metal, light metal alloys and general metalworking where consistent hole diameter and clean edges are required. The compact case keeps bits organized and protects the cutting edges during storage and transport.

Advantages

The HSS composition offers wear resistance and maintains cutting performance at moderate drilling speeds. Uniform 1.6 mm diameter across all ten bits provides repeatable results for series of holes. The compact packaging reduces the risk of damage and simplifies storage, while compatibility with standard drill chucks allows use in a wide range of portable and benchtop drilling tools.

Suitable for

• Drilling small-diameter holes in thin sheet metal
• Precision tasks in light metal alloys and enclosures
• Repair, maintenance and installation work requiring pilot holes
• Hobby and DIY projects involving metal components

Key specifications

• Bit material: high-speed steel (HSS)
• Diameter: 1.6 mm
• Quantity: 10 pieces
• Intended use: metal drilling (thin sheets, light alloys)
• Compatible shank type: round shank for standard drill chucks
• Storage: compact protective case

How to use

Select an appropriate cutting speed for the metal being drilled and secure the workpiece to prevent movement. Fit a 1.6 mm HSS bit into a properly tightened drill chuck and, if possible, use cutting fluid or a light lubricant to reduce heat and prolong bit life. Begin drilling at a steady, moderate speed with light feed pressure to avoid bit walking; for thin materials, use a backing board to prevent burr formation. After use, clean chips from the flutes and store the bits in their case.

Usage recommendations

For best results when drilling metal, use a center punch to mark the hole position before starting and apply a small amount of cutting fluid. Replace bits that show significant wear or dulling to maintain hole quality and reduce the risk of breakage.
