Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these bits suitable for concrete?

No, these are HSS (High-Speed Steel) bits designed for metal, wood, and plastics, not masonry.

What is the primary benefit of the TiN coating?

The Titanium Nitride coating reduces friction, decreases heat buildup, and significantly extends the tool's working life.

Does this set include different sizes?

No, this specific pack contains three identical 3mm x 61mm drill bits.

Can I use these with a cordless drill?

Yes, they are fully compatible with both cordless and corded power drills.

What is the warranty coverage for these bits?

The set is covered by a 3-year standard warranty provided by JCB.

How do I know when the bit is dull?

The bit is dull when it requires excessive force to penetrate the material or produces blue-tinted metal shavings.

Troubleshooting

Bit is getting hot and smoking

Reduce your drilling speed and apply cutting fluid to lower friction.

Bit wandering on the workpiece

Ensure the TurboJet 7 tip is centered and apply consistent, firm downward pressure at the start.

Drill bit breaking prematurely

Check that the bit is fully seated in the chuck and ensure you are not applying lateral pressure while drilling.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly longer lifespan compared to standard HSS bits
  • TurboJet 7 tip reduces bit wandering on smooth surfaces
  • M2 TiN coating minimizes heat generation
  • High-quality construction from a reputable brand
  • Comes with a 3-year standard warranty

Cons

  • Set includes only a single size (3mm)
  • Not intended for high-hardness masonry or hardened steel
  • Requires proper RPM management to maximize TiN coating benefits

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Ensure these 3mm bits are securely fastened in a standard 10mm or 13mm keyless or keyed chuck. To prolong the life of the M2 TiN coating, avoid excessive high-speed dry drilling in very hard materials; applying a drop of cutting oil when working with metal can further enhance longevity. Store the bits in their original packaging to protect the precision-ground TurboJet tips from chipping against other metal objects. Always check your drill's speed settings to ensure you are within the recommended range for 3mm high-speed steel bits.
