Drill bit STANLEY STA50025, 3.2 mm diameter, 65 mm length, single piece

Single STANLEY drill bit STA50025 with 3.2 mm diameter and 65 mm overall length. This single-piece drill bit is intended for use with standard hand drills and drill drivers to create small-diameter holes in a range of common workshop materials. The specification indicates suitability for metal and the bit is presented in a black finish; composition and coating are not specified. The compact size and single-piece supply make this drill bit a straightforward replacement option for repair, assembly and DIY drilling tasks where a precise 3.2 mm hole is required.

Advantages

The 3.2 mm diameter and 65 mm length provide a balance between rigidity and reach for small-diameter drilling. Compatibility with standard drill chucks allows quick mounting and interchange. A single-piece supply is convenient when a single replacement bit is needed for maintenance or occasional use. The indicated suitability for metal makes it appropriate for common workshop repairs and light fabrication.

How to use

Insert the shank of the drill bit into the drill chuck and tighten securely. Select an appropriate drilling speed and, if drilling metal, use cutting fluid or lubricant to reduce heat and extend bit life. For wood and plastics, moderate speed and firm, steady pressure produce clean holes. Align the drill perpendicular to the work surface, start at low speed to create a guide point, then increase speed while maintaining control. After drilling, clear swarf from the hole and inspect the bit for wear before reuse.

Usage recommendations

Use personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. For metal drilling, clamp the workpiece securely and use lubricant to prevent overheating. Replace the bit if it shows visible wear, chipping or loss of cutting performance.
