Frequently Asked Questions
What materials are these HSS drill bits suitable for?
These High-Speed Steel (HSS) drill bits are designed for general use in steels and cast irons with a tensile strength up to 950 N/mm². They are particularly effective for drilling ordinary steels.
What is the advantage of the 118° tip angle?
The 118° tip angle is optimized for general-purpose drilling, especially in materials that produce long shavings. It allows for rapid material attachment and simplified centring.
Do I need a center punch before using these bits?
Thanks to the split-point grinding, these bits are self-centring even on smooth surfaces. This significantly reduces the need for pre-marking and lowers the required axial load during drilling.
Can these be used with handheld power tools?
Yes, the cylindrical shank design ensures that the bits are compatible with both portable electrical tools and professional CNC machine tools.
What does the 30° helix angle provide?
The 30° type N flute profile provides excellent tool rigidity and ensures high drilling precision while effectively clearing debris during the drilling process.
