FAQs

What materials can I drill with the Bosch PointTeQ HSS Metal Drill Bit 2.0mm?

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.

How does the PointTeQ tip improve performance?

The PointTeQ tip enables faster drilling, remains sharp longer, and generates less heat and wear. It also has a self-centering design for quick and accurate starts.

Is this drill bit suitable for impact drilling?

No, this drill bit is designed for standard rotary drilling and is not intended for use with hammer or impact functions.

What is the advantage of the self-centering tip?

The self-centering tip prevents the drill bit from wandering when starting a hole, ensuring a precise and easy initial entry into the material.

What does 'HSS' stand for?

HSS stands for High-Speed Steel, a type of steel alloyed with various elements to increase its hardness, heat resistance, and wear resistance, making it ideal for cutting tools.

What is the benefit of the black-oxide coated flute?

The black-oxide coating on the flute helps with chip evacuation by reducing friction and allowing chips to be removed more efficiently, which also contributes to cooler drilling.

Can I use this bit with any drill?

Yes, it has a cylindrical shank compatible with standard three-jaw drill chucks found on most drill drivers and drill stands.

Troubleshooting

Drill bit is not centered or is wobbling

Ensure the drill bit shank is fully and securely inserted into the chuck and that the chuck is properly tightened.

Slow drilling speed or excessive heat buildup

Reduce drill speed, apply steady pressure, and ensure chips are being cleared effectively. Check if the material being drilled is within the bit's compatibility range.

Bit is not starting on the desired point (skating)

The self-centering tip should prevent this. Ensure you are not using excessive speed on initial contact and that the surface is relatively clean. For very hard materials, a pilot dimple may still be beneficial.

Drill bit breaks during use

Cease drilling immediately. Ensure you are using the correct speed, applying steady pressure without excessive force, and avoiding side-loading. For bits under 6mm, be extra cautious with pressure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Significantly faster drilling speeds compared to standard bits.
Self-centering tip for easy and accurate starting without wandering.
Excellent durability and sharpness retention for prolonged use.
Reduced heat generation prolongs bit life.
Low risk of breakage due to the elastic body construction.
Versatile for use on various metals and plastics.

Cons

Smaller diameter bits (below 6mm) have a lower risk of breakage but can still be susceptible.
Requires a compatible drill chuck for its cylindrical shank.
Not designed for impact drilling applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Select the appropriate drill bit size for your task.
Insert the drill bit's cylindrical shank into a compatible drill chuck. Ensure the chuck is tightened securely around the shank.
Set your drill to the appropriate speed setting (typically a lower speed for metal drilling) and ensure it is not in hammer/impact mode.

Compatibility:

Drill Type: Compatible with standard drill drivers and drill stands.
Chuck Type: Features a cylindrical shank, making it compatible with standard three-jaw drill chucks.
Materials: Suitable for alloyed and non-alloyed steel, non-ferrous metals, cast steel, cast iron, and plastics.

Care:

After use, clean the drill bit to remove any metal shavings or debris. A soft brush can be effective.
Store the drill bits in a dry environment to prevent rust.
Avoid excessive force or side loading, which can lead to breakage.
Periodically inspect the tip for wear and sharpen if necessary, although the PointTeQ design is intended for extended sharpness.
