Frequently asked questions about HSS-R jobber drill bits
What materials can I drill with this HSS-R jobber drill bit?
These bits are designed for general-purpose drilling in materials such as steel, aluminium, non-ferrous metals, plastics and general workshop materials. The 135° split point helps improve penetration on these substrates.
Do I need to centre punch before drilling with this bit?
The 135° split point tip on these drill bits is engineered to reduce wandering and improve self-centering which often eliminates the need for a separate centre punch.
Why are HSS-R jobber drill bits preferred for general drilling?
High Speed Steel (HSS) offers excellent heat resistance, long tool life and versatility across common materials.
How do I extend the life of an HSS drill bit?
Using cooling/lubrication when drilling metal, correct speed/feed settings and avoiding overheating helps prolong the life of HSS bits, especially in repetitive tasks. (This is a common tip from user
