Product Information
Full details
This Bosch HSS Twist Drill Bit, specifically the 2mm PointTeQ model, is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts needing to achieve fast and accurate drilling in various metals and plastics. Its key benefit is the self-centring PointTeQ tip, which prevents wandering for precise starts and enhanced durability due to reduced heat and wear. A potential caveat is its specific application focus, making it less suitable for soft materials like wood.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the main advantage of the PointTeQ tip?
The PointTeQ tip is self-centring, which prevents the drill bit from wandering when starting a hole. This leads to quicker, more accurate starts and reduces the risk of the bit slipping.
What types of metal can this drill bit be used on?
This drill bit is suitable for drilling into alloyed and non-alloyed steel, non-ferrous metals, cast steel, cast iron, and plastics.
How does the black-oxide coating help?
The black-oxide coating on the flute helps with rapid chip removal. This keeps the drilling process efficient and reduces the build-up of material, contributing to cooler drilling.
Is this drill bit suitable for drilling wood?
While it might technically cut wood, this drill bit is specifically designed for metal and plastics. For wood, a wood-specific drill bit would provide better performance and results.
How can I extend the life of this drill bit?
To extend its life, keep the bit clean and dry, use appropriate drilling speeds, apply steady pressure, and consider using a cutting fluid or lubricant, especially when drilling harder metals. Avoid bending the bit during use.
What does 'HSS' stand for?
HSS stands for High-Speed Steel, a type of steel alloyed with tungsten, molybdenum, and chromium, known for its hardness, resistance to heat, and durability, making it ideal for drill bits.
Can I use this drill bit with any drill?
Yes, this drill bit is compatible with all standard corded and cordless drills that have a chuck capable of securely holding a 2mm shank.
Troubleshooting
Bit wanders on initial contact
Ensure the PointTeQ tip is properly seated and apply firm, consistent pressure. For very hard surfaces, consider using a center punch to create a starting indentation.
Slow drilling or excessive heat
Check if the drill speed is too high for the material. Reduce speed and consider using a cutting fluid or lubricant. Ensure the flute is clear of debris for efficient chip removal.
Bit breaks during use
This typically occurs due to excessive force, bending the bit, or drilling at too high a speed. Ensure consistent pressure, keep the bit straight, and use appropriate speeds for the material.
Poor hole quality (rough edges)
Ensure the bit is sharp and free from damage. Reduce drilling speed slightly and ensure the flute is clear for proper chip evacuation.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Self-centring tip for accurate starts and reduced wandering.
Faster drilling rate increases efficiency.
Enhanced durability due to reduced heat and wear.
Effective chip removal via black-oxide coated flute.
Suitable for a wide range of metals and plastics.
Cons
Primarily designed for metal and plastic; may not be optimal for wood.
2mm diameter is specific and may require other sizes for different hole requirements.
Requires a drill press or steady hand for best results with precise applications.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the drill is set to the appropriate speed and mode (usually a slower speed for metal drilling, with or without hammer function depending on material).
Securely insert the 2mm drill bit into the drill chuck and tighten firmly.
Mark the desired drilling location on the material.
Apply firm, consistent pressure, allowing the drill bit to do the work.
Compatibility:
Materials: Alloyed and non-alloyed steel, non-ferrous metals (like aluminum, brass), cast steel, cast iron, and plastics.
Drills: Compatible with all standard corded and cordless drills with a suitable chuck.
Care:
Keep the drill bit clean after use; remove any metal shavings or debris.
Store in a dry place to prevent rust.
For optimal performance, consider using a cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling into harder metals to further reduce heat and wear.
