These bits are 57mm long with a 30mm working length. Highly recommended for cast steel, bronze, welded seams, stainless and chrome nickel steels. They offer faster drilling and better durability than normal HSS-R drill bits. Suitable for portable drilling of steel, alloyed and non-alloyed up to 900 N/MM2. Features a non-slip shaft with 3 milled clamping surfaces to prevent spinning and ensure optimal power transmission. Made from cobalt alloy high-performance high-speed steel (5% cobalt) for maximum temperature resistance and wear resistance. Features a ‘no walk’ tip for easier penetration of all surfaces, allowing for circular holes with clean, virtually burr-free edges.

FAQs
What materials are these drill bits best suited for?
These drill bits are best for drilling through stainless steel, cast iron, bronze, welded seams, and various steels.
What is the benefit of the cobalt alloy?
The cobalt alloy provides maximum temperature resistance and wear resistance, leading to faster drilling and increased durability.
How long do these drill bits last?
These bits offer 4x longer life than standard HSS-R drill bits.
Can I use these bits with any drill?
Yes, these bits are compatible with standard drills and drill presses.
What is the purpose of the 'no walk' tip?
The 'no walk' tip helps the bit penetrate the material more easily, resulting in cleaner and more accurate holes.
How should I store these drill bits?
Store the drill bits in a dry place to prevent rust and damage.
Should I use cutting oil when drilling?
Using cutting oil is recommended, especially when drilling harder materials, to reduce friction, heat, and extend the bit's life.
Troubleshooting
Drill bit is slipping in the chuck.
Tighten the chuck more securely. Ensure the drill bit is inserted fully into the chuck.
Drill bit is wearing out quickly.
Ensure the correct drilling speed and pressure are used. Consider using cutting oil to reduce friction.
Drill bit is not penetrating the material.
Check the drill speed and pressure. Ensure you are using the correct bit for the material. Start with a pilot hole if necessary.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Faster drilling speeds.
Increased durability and lifespan.
Suitable for a wide range of materials, including tough metals.
Reduced heat build-up due to optimized flute geometry.
Precision drilling with the 'no walk' tip.
Cons
Specific to drilling applications; not suitable for other uses.
May require more care when drilling harder materials to prevent premature wear.
Higher initial cost compared to standard HSS-R bits.
Optimal performance depends on using the correct drilling speed and pressure.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Insert the drill bit into a drill chuck.
Tighten the chuck securely to prevent slippage.
Ensure the drill is set to the appropriate speed for the material you are drilling.
Compatibility
Compatible with: Standard drills and drill presses.
Material Suitability: Specifically designed for use with steel, alloyed and non-alloyed metals, cast iron, bronze, and stainless steel.
Care
Storage: Store drill bits in a dry place to prevent rust.
Cleaning: Clean bits after each use to remove debris and prevent build-up.
Lubrication: Use cutting oil when drilling to reduce friction and extend the life of the bit.
