Drill bit YATO YT-44222 HSS metal 6 mm

HSS metal drill bit YATO YT-44222 with 6 mm diameter is designed for drilling holes in steel, iron and non-ferrous metals. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS), this 6 mm drill bit delivers consistent cutting performance and improved resistance to wear and heat during metalworking operations. The geometry and material make it suitable for use with both hand drills and drill presses in workshop, maintenance or production environments.

Advantages

The HSS construction provides good hardness and heat resistance, reducing wear during prolonged drilling. The 6 mm diameter offers a common size for pilot holes, bolts and general metal fabrication tasks. The bit’s flute design helps evacuate chips efficiently, maintaining cutting speed and reducing clogging. Compatibility with standard drill chucks makes it practical for manual and machine applications.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in steel and iron
• Working with non-ferrous metals such as aluminum and brass
• Use in hand drills and drill presses
• Workshop repairs and maintenance tasks

Key specifications

• Material: high-speed steel (HSS)
• Diameter: 6 mm
• Intended material: ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Application: manual and machine drilling
• Cutting geometry: twist drill with flutes for chip evacuation

How to use

Select an appropriate drill speed for the metal being worked, secure the workpiece firmly in a vise or clamp, and fit the 6 mm HSS drill bit into the drill chuck. For harder steels, use lower speeds and apply cutting oil or lubricant to reduce heat and improve tool life. Start drilling with moderate pressure, maintain alignment, and withdraw periodically to clear chips if necessary. After use, clean chips from the flutes and store the bit in a dry place.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match rotational speed to the material: higher speeds for softer non-ferrous metals and lower speeds for hardened steels. Use cutting fluid when drilling thicker or harder metals to extend bit life and improve hole quality. Avoid excessive side force to prevent breakage of the 6 mm drill bit.
