Extreme 2 metal drill bits DeWalt DT5553-QZ

What it is

The DeWalt DT5553-QZ is a metal drill bit with a diameter of 8 mm, in HSS high-speed steel, supplied in a multipack of 10 pieces. With a working length of 72 mm and a total length of 117 mm, it offers considerable drilling depth on metal components of high thickness, maintaining precision and stability as it advances.

A metal drill bit is an HSS, cobalt or coated twist drill for drilling steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals and plastic with a drill or drill driver.

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

Mark the centre with a centre punch, clamp the workpiece and drill at a speed that is lower the larger the diameter and the harder the material. Maintain steady pressure, lubricate with cutting oil on steel and stainless steel and, for large diameters, drill a pilot hole first. Withdraw the bit frequently to clear the swarf, and never touch the swarf with bare hands.
