Product Specifications

Available Variants

Applications

• Aluminium and compatible aluminium alloys
• Copper and compatible non-ferrous metals
• Galvanised steel tube and mild-steel components
• Compatible mould steels and metal workpieces up to approximately HRC 30

Tool Compatibility

• Suitable for compatible electric drills, cordless drills, pillar drills and machining equipment
• Straight round shank requires a compatible three-jaw drill chuck
• The shank diameter corresponds to the selected drill diameter
• Confirm that the chuck capacity accepts the selected diameter; the 13 mm variant requires a chuck with at least 13 mm capacity
• When fitted to an impact drill, use rotary drilling mode rather than percussion mode for metal drilling

Operating Guidance

• Select spindle speed according to the drill diameter, workpiece material and hardness
• Reduce speed as the drill diameter or material hardness increases
• Use suitable cutting fluid when drilling steel and other demanding metals
• Secure the workpiece and drill perpendicular to the surface to reduce vibration
• Clear chips periodically when drilling deeper holes
