Extended Product Information

FAQs

What material are these drill bits made from?

These drill bits are made from High-Speed Steel (HSS) and are roll forged for enhanced durability.

What is the angle of the drill bit tip?

The drill bit tip has a 118° point angle.

Are these drill bits suitable for hard metals?

They are suitable for softer metals like aluminum and mild steel. For harder metals, specialized drill bits may be required, and appropriate techniques should be used.

How should I store these drill bits?

They come with a high-density case for safe and organized storage, protecting the tips and preventing loss.

Can I use these with any drill?

They are designed for use with standard hand drills and pillar drills that have compatible chucks.

What does DIN 338 mean?

DIN 338 is a German industrial standard that specifies dimensions and technical requirements for twist drill bits, ensuring quality and performance consistency.

How do I ensure clog-free drilling?

Ensure you are using the correct drill speed and applying appropriate pressure. The bit's design promotes swarf clearance, but excessive drilling depth without retracting can still cause clogs.

Troubleshooting

Drill bit spinning in chuck

Ensure the drill chuck is adequately tightened around the drill bit's shank. Check that the bit is fully inserted into the chuck.

Poor hole quality (rough edges, oversized holes)

Verify the drill bit is sharp and free from damage. Ensure you are using the correct drill speed for the material. Check for excessive drill press runout if using a pillar drill.

Drill bit overheating

Reduce drilling speed, apply less pressure, and ensure efficient swarf clearance. For metal, consider using a lubricant or cutting fluid.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable HSS construction for extended tool life.
  • Precision 118° tip for accurate drilling.
  • Effective swarf clearance reduces jamming and heat.
  • Suitable for both hand and pillar drills.
  • Includes a protective storage case.

Cons

  • Specific 2.5mm size may limit application range.
  • Requires appropriate drill chuck for secure fitting.
  • Not designed for drilling very hard materials like concrete or metal without proper technique.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Insert the 2.5mm drill bit firmly into the chuck of your hand drill or pillar drill. Ensure the chuck is tightened securely around the bit's shank to prevent slippage during operation.

Compatibility: These drill bits are compatible with standard drill chucks found on most hand drills and pillar drills. The 2.5mm shank size is a common diameter, but always verify your drill's minimum and maximum chuck capacity.

Care: After use, clean any debris from the drill bit. Store the bits in their provided high-density case to protect the sharp tips and prevent corrosion. Avoid exposing the bits to excessive moisture. Periodically inspect the bits for any signs of wear or damage before use.
