Drill bit for metal Verto HSS cylindrical 13 mm, set of 5

Verto cylindrical HSS drill bit set for metal, consisting of five 13 mm bits, is designed for drilling through a range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS), these straight-shank drill bits are compatible with standard drill chucks and intended for use in workshop, maintenance and light fabrication tasks where precise, durable metal drilling is required.

Advantages

The high-speed steel construction ensures a balance of hardness and toughness that resists wear at elevated cutting temperatures. A cylindrical (straight) shank provides stable clamping in standard chucks and easy bit replacement. The 13 mm diameter is suitable for common metalwork holes, while the multipack of five identical bits reduces downtime by keeping spares on hand. The simple geometry allows use with both hand drills and drill presses under appropriate speeds and coolant conditions.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in steel, stainless steel and non-ferrous metals
• Workshop maintenance and repair tasks
• Fabrication and assembly of metal components
• Use with standard handheld drills and drill presses

Key specifications

• Material: High-speed steel (HSS)
• Shank type: Cylindrical (straight) shank
• Drill diameter: 13 mm
• Quantity: Set of 5 identical drill bits
• Intended use: Metal drilling (ferrous and non-ferrous)

How to use

Secure the 13 mm HSS bit in the drill chuck ensuring the shank is clamped straight and tight. Select a rotational speed appropriate for the material being drilled (lower speeds for harder steels, higher speeds for softer metals) and, where possible, use cutting fluid to reduce heat and extend bit life. Start with a center punch or pilot to prevent walking, apply steady pressure, and withdraw the bit occasionally to clear chips. Allow the bit to cool if it becomes excessively hot before continuing.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (safety glasses and gloves) and, for stainless steel and other hard alloys, apply cutting fluid and moderate speeds to prolong tool life. Store the bits dry and clean to avoid corrosion; replace worn bits to maintain drilling accuracy and safety.
