Metal drill bits HSS-G DIN 338. The HSS Twist Drill Bit Ground is for drilling through metal with maximum precision. The bit’s exposed 135-degree self-centring split-point tip combines active cutting and perfect centring without wandering, delivering maximum precision. The split-point tip also eliminates any need to pre-punch or pilot drill for up to 10 mm. This precision-ground bit made of HSS (high-speed steel) enables up to 40% faster drilling rate and up to 50% lower feed pressure than standard-ground HSS drill bits with chisel edges. This bit is designed for drilling holes in alloyed and non-alloyed steel, cast steel, cast iron, sintered iron, malleable cast iron, non-ferrous metals and hard plastics. It has a cylindrical shank system (shank equal to drill bit diameter) and is intended for use in drill stands and drill drivers.
