The HSS Twist Drill Bit Cobalt provides long-lasting performance when drilling stainless steel. This extended lifetime results from a cobalt alloy content of 5% and fully ground HSS (high-speed steel), which provides excellent surface quality, wear resistance and heat protection. Equipped with two cutters and two flutes, chips are removed quickly to make the bit last even longer. This drill bit works with alloyed and non-alloyed steel, stainless steel, cast iron, cast steel and acid- and heat-resistant steels. The HSS Twist Drill Bit Cobalt is manufactured to DIN 338. The drill bit is Type N (flute angle) with a 135-degree tip and a diameter tolerance of h8. Active cutting and perfect centring without wandering are achieved by the pointed split-point tip. It has a cylindrical shank system (shank equal to drill bit diameter) and is intended for use in drill stands and drill drivers.
