Drill bit STANLEY STA53252 — 3 mm diameter, 58 mm length, single piece

STANLEY STA53252 — 3 mm diameter, 58 mm length, single piece drill bit designed for precision small-diameter drilling in workshop and DIY projects. This single-piece bit fits standard drill chucks and is intended as a replacement for worn bits or for tasks requiring a fine, controlled hole. The bit’s compact dimensions make it suitable for confined workspaces and jobs where accuracy is important.

Advantages

The single-piece construction reduces play and wobble during rotation, contributing to improved drilling accuracy for small holes. Its 3 mm diameter provides a narrow cutting profile for precise start points and minimal material removal. The 58 mm overall length balances reach and rigidity, allowing controlled drilling without excessive flex. Compatibility with standard drill chucks simplifies installation and replacement.

Suitable for

• Precision drilling in thin materials
• Small-diameter pilot holes
• Workshop and hobby tasks requiring accurate holes
• Replacing worn small drill bits in general-purpose drills

Key specifications

• Diameter: 3 mm
• Overall length: 58 mm
• Piece count: 1
• Designed for use with standard drill chucks
• Recommended material compatibility: glass

How to use

Install the drill bit into a compatible drill chuck and tighten securely according to the drill manufacturer’s instructions. Use an appropriate drilling speed for the material being worked on and apply steady, moderate pressure to avoid bit breakage. For glass, use low-to-moderate speed, minimize lateral forces, and consider using cooling or lubrication as needed. Withdraw the bit periodically to clear debris and check progress to ensure accurate hole placement.

Usage recommendations

For best results when drilling glass or other brittle materials, use steady, controlled pressure, appropriate drilling speed, and support the workpiece to prevent chipping or cracking. Wear eye protection and follow safety guidelines for your drill and the material being processed.
