Drill bit Stanley STA53013-XJ 5 mm diameter 50 mm length

The Stanley STA53013-XJ drill bit 5 mm diameter 50 mm length is a precision cutting tool designed for controlled drilling in a range of common materials. With a 5 mm cutting diameter and a 50 mm overall length, this drill bit fits standard chucks and offers a balance between reach and rigidity for general workshop and household tasks. The geometry is engineered to provide accurate hole placement and consistent chip evacuation during normal drilling operations.

Advantages

This 5 mm, 50 mm drill bit provides precise hole sizing and stable performance in everyday applications. Its construction delivers good durability for repeated use, while the length offers sufficient working reach without excessive flex. The shank profile ensures secure chuck grip for reduced slippage and steady rotation, supporting clean entry and exit holes in compatible materials.

Suitable for

• Drilling pilot and through holes in wood
• Making holes in plastic and composite materials
• Light- to medium-duty drilling in metal sheets and thin sections
• General household repairs and workshop projects

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 5 mm
• Total length: 50 mm
• Intended use: general-purpose drilling
• Compatibility: standard drill chucks
• Typical materials: wood, plastics, composites, thin metal

How to use

Secure the drill bit firmly in a compatible drill chuck and set the drill to an appropriate speed for the material being worked. Mark the drilling location and, where precision is required, use a center punch or pilot mark. Apply steady, even pressure and allow the bit to cut without forcing; withdraw periodically for chip clearance when drilling deeper holes. For metal, use suitable cutting fluid or coolant and reduce speed as needed. After use, clean debris from the flutes and store the bit in a protective holder to preserve cutting edges.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match drill speed and feed to the material: higher speeds for soft materials like wood and plastics, and lower speeds with cutting lubricant for metals. Inspect the cutting edge for wear before precision tasks and replace the bit when signs of dulling or chipping appear to maintain hole quality and reduce strain on the drill.
