Bosch Metal Drill Bit - 10mm

This bit is suitable for drilling clearance and pilot holes in alloyed and non-alloyed steel, non-ferrous metals, cast steel, cast iron, and plastics.

The self-centring PointTeQ tip prevents the bit from wandering when starting a hole, ensuring greater accuracy and a quicker start.

The black-oxide coating on the flute facilitates fast chip removal, which helps to keep the cutting edge cool and extends the bit's lifespan.

An increased drilling rate means holes can be made faster, reducing overall work time and also generating less heat and wear on the bit itself.

This bit is optimized for metal and plastics. While it might cut some softwoods, it is not designed for wood and may produce poor results or damage the wood.

Clean the bit after each use to remove debris. Store it in a dry place to prevent rust and periodically check for wear. Using cutting fluid during drilling can also help.

This 10mm drill bit is compatible with standard three-jaw drill chucks found on most drills.

Ensure the PointTeQ tip is properly engaged and centered. Start drilling at a slower speed until the tip bites, then increase speed. Check that the material is securely clamped.

Reduce drilling speed and apply less pressure. Use a cutting fluid or lubricant suitable for metal. Ensure the flutes are clear for efficient chip removal.

Verify that the drill is set to the correct speed for the material. Check for any obstructions in the flute. Ensure the bit is sharp and not excessively worn.

Check that the drill chuck is functioning correctly and is clean. Ensure the shank of the drill bit is fully inserted and the chuck jaws are tightened properly.
