Drill bit Tvardy HSS M2 extended 6.0 mm for metal

Extended HSS M2 drill bit Tvardy, 6.0 mm diameter, designed specifically for drilling metal. The bit's high-speed steel M2 construction provides hardness and heat resistance necessary for cutting steel and other ferrous materials, while the extended length allows reaching deeper or hard-to-reach holes. A black-and-gold coating reduces friction and improves chip evacuation, making the bit suitable for general metalworking tasks with both handheld drills and drill presses.

Advantages

The HSS M2 material ensures a balance of toughness and wear resistance for prolonged use on steel. The extended length increases reach without sacrificing concentricity, and the black-and-gold coating enhances durability by lowering heat buildup and improving lubricity. Precision-ground flutes and a standard split-point geometry reduce walking at the start of the cut and help produce cleaner holes in metal.

Suitable for

• Drilling through mild and alloyed steels
• Manufacturing, maintenance and repair tasks
• Creating deeper or recessed holes in metal components
• Use with handheld electric drills and drill presses

Key specifications

• Material: HSS M2 high-speed steel
• Diameter: 6.0 mm
• Length: extended design for deep drilling (overall and flute lengths vary by manufacturer standard)
• Coating: black-and-gold friction-reducing coating
• Tip geometry: split-point style for reduced walking
• Shank type: straight cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks

How to use

Secure the workpiece and mark the drilling location. Use a center punch if accurate starting position is required. Fit the 6.0 mm Tvardy HSS M2 drill bit into the drill chuck and tighten securely. Select appropriate spindle speed for steel (moderate to low speeds depending on material and drill diameter) and apply steady, moderate feed pressure. Use cutting fluid or oil when drilling ferrous metals to extend tool life and improve chip evacuation. Withdraw the bit periodically to clear chips on deep holes.

Usage recommendations

For best results, start with a pilot hole when drilling very thick or hard materials, maintain recommended speeds for HSS M2 bits, and use an appropriate cutting fluid. Inspect the bit for wear or damage before use and replace when tip geometry degrades to preserve hole quality and operator safety.
