Drill bit for metal Verto HSS cylindrical 2.5 mm, set of 10 (60H073)

Verto HSS cylindrical drill bits for metal, 2.5 mm diameter, pack of 10 provide a set of precision cutting tools designed for drilling holes in metal and other hard materials. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS), these bits combine hardness and toughness suitable for workshop, maintenance, and light industrial tasks. The cylindrical shank is compatible with standard drill chucks and enables quick bit changes for hand-held drills and drill presses.

Advantages

The high-speed steel construction ensures wear resistance and reliable cutting performance when drilling steel, iron, non-ferrous metals and similar materials. Supplied as a set of ten identical 2.5 mm bits, this pack offers consistent hole diameter across multiple operations, reducing the need for frequent sharpening or replacement. The cylindrical shank design provides stable seating in chucks and straightforward interchangeability between tools. The small diameter is well suited for precision work and pilot holes, allowing controlled drilling with minimal material distortion.

Suitable for

• Drilling precise holes in sheet metal and thin plates
• Creating pilot holes for screws and fasteners in metal components
• Maintenance and repair tasks in workshops and garages
• Hobby and model-making projects involving metal parts
• Light fabrication work on brackets, enclosures and small metal fittings

Key specifications

• Material: high-speed steel (HSS)
• Diameter: 2.5 mm
• Shank type: cylindrical (straight) shank for standard chucks
• Pack quantity: 10 pieces
• Intended materials: steel, iron, non-ferrous metals and similar hard materials

How to use

Secure the drill bit in a clean, properly tightened chuck, ensuring the bit is seated straight. Select an appropriate drilling speed and apply steady, moderate pressure; for small-diameter HSS bits, higher speeds are typically effective but avoid excessive heat buildup. Use cutting fluid or lubrication when drilling tougher metals to extend bit life and improve chip evacuation. Withdraw the bit periodically to clear chips and allow cooling on deeper holes. After use, clean chips from the flutes and store the bits in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match drill speed and feed to the metal being drilled: higher speeds for softer non-ferrous metals and moderate speeds for hardened steel. Use light cutting oil with steel and take care to avoid side loading which can cause breakage of small diameter bits. Replace bits that show signs of excessive wear or chipping to maintain hole quality.
