Compliant with DIN 345/N, it combines a 118° point angle with a hardness of 700-740 HV for a clean, repeatable cut, even on considerable thicknesses. A metal drill bit is an HSS or cobalt twist drill, with a straight or taper shank, for drilling steel, non-ferrous metals and plastics. ### What it is for Used for drilling steel, stainless steel and aluminium, on a pillar drill or with a hand-held drill and in workshop machining of steel, aluminium and alloy parts. ### How to use it Clamp the workpiece in a vice, mark the centre and set the speed for the diameter and material: low for hard steels and large diameters, higher for aluminium and plastic. Lubricate with cutting oil on steel; on plastic, reduce the pressure as the bit breaks through to avoid chipping. Insert taper-shank drills into the pillar drill's spindle taper and remove them with a drift. ### Where it is used - Mechanical engineering industry - Mechanical workshops ### Who it is for Designed for metal fabricators, industrial maintenance technicians and mechanics. ### Related products - [Taper shank twist drill bit Fervi ST2A42.50](https://www.amesworldwide.com/en/products/fervi-punta-elicoidale-a-codolo-conico-st2a42-50) - [Taper shank twist drill bit Fervi ST2A41.50](https://www.amesworldwide.com/en/products/fervi-punta-elicoidale-a-codolo-conico-st2a41-50) - [Radial drill Fervi TR01/180](https://www.amesworldwide.com/en/products/fervi-trapano-radiale-tr01-180) — from the category [Pillar Drills](https://www.amesworldwide.com/en/collections/trapani-a-colonna) - [Replacement jaws for precision vices Fervi M011/150GR](https://www.amesworldwide.com/en/products/fervi-ganasce-di-ricambio-m011-150gr) — from the category [Vices and Clamps](https://www.amesworldwide.com/en/collections/morse-e-strettoi) - [Thread repair kit, metric, f-coil, Fervi E011D](https://www.amesworldwide.com/en/products/fervi-kit-riparazione-filetti-metrici-f-coil-e011d) — from the category [Turning, Milling and Threading Tools](https://www.amesworldwide.com/en/collections/utensili-per-tornio-fresa-e-filettatura) - Browse the whole category: [Professional Drill Bits for Metal and Plastic](https://www.amesworldwide.com/en/collections/punte-per-metallo-e-plastica-professionali) ### Before you order In your request, please state the diameter and the quantities required, so we can give you the right quotation first time.
