This Bosch PointTeQ HSS Metal Drill Bit is suitable for drilling clearance and pilot holes in alloyed and non-alloyed steel, non-ferrous metals, cast steel, cast iron, and plastics.
No, the self-centring PointTeQ tip is designed to start accurately without the need for a pilot or center punch, preventing wandering.
The design allows for a faster drilling rate which generates less heat and wear on the bit's tip, keeping it sharp and durable for longer.
The black-oxide coated flute is designed for efficient chip removal. Ensure the flutes are kept clear of debris during operation.
No, this drill bit is specifically designed for metal and plastics. It is not recommended for use on wood.
Yes, it is compatible with all standard rotary drills that have a chuck capable of holding a 3mm shank.
The 2-pack provides a spare bit, ensuring you can continue working without interruption if one bit is lost or needs to be replaced.
Ensure the PointTeQ self-centring tip is making firm contact with the material. Apply consistent, steady pressure. Consider using a center punch for extremely smooth surfaces if wandering persists.
Check drill speed settings; ensure it's appropriate for the material. Apply cutting lubricant. Verify the bit is not dull and that chips are being cleared effectively from the flutes.
The bit may be dull or the material is too hard for the bit's intended use. Clean the flutes. If dull, consider replacing the bit. Ensure you are not exceeding the material capabilities of the HSS bit.
Setup: Insert the Bosch PointTeQ HSS Metal Drill Bit into your drill chuck securely. Ensure the drill is set to the appropriate speed and rotation (usually clockwise for drilling). For best results, use a cutting lubricant, especially when drilling into harder metals, to further reduce heat and improve bit life.
Compatibility: This drill bit is compatible with all standard rotary drills that accept a 3mm shank. It is designed for use on alloyed and non-alloyed steel, non-ferrous metals, cast steel, cast iron, and plastics. It is not recommended for masonry or wood.
Care: After use, remove the drill bit from the drill and clean any debris from the flutes. Store the bit in a dry place to prevent corrosion. If the bit becomes dull, consider resharpening if possible, or replace it to maintain optimal performance. Avoid overheating the bit by using appropriate speeds and lubricant.
