HSS Twist Drill Bits with Tungsten Carbide Tip for Metalworking
FEATURES
Carbide tip: The carbide tip provides excellent hardness, wear resistance, and heat resistance. It allows the drill bit to maintain its sharp cutting edge for longer, resulting in extended tool life and improved drilling efficiency.
High-Speed Steel (HSS) body: The HSS body provides toughness and durability to the drill bit. It can withstand high drilling speeds and is less prone to breakage compared to fully carbide drill bits. The HSS body also helps absorb shock during drilling, reducing the risk of chipping or cracking.
Versatile drilling capabilities: A carbide tip HSS drill bit can be used for drilling a wide range of materials, including steel, cast iron, aluminum, wood, plastic, and more. The combination of carbide and HSS allows for efficient and accurate drilling across various applications and materials.
Improved heat dissipation: The HSS body of the drill bit helps dissipate heat generated during drilling. This prevents overheating, which can lead to premature wear and damage. The carbide tip further enhances heat resistance, allowing for higher drilling speeds without compromising performance.
Precise and clean drilling: The sharp carbide tip, coupled with the cutting edges of the HSS body, ensures precise and clean drilling results. The carbide tip provides excellent cutting action, while the HSS body helps maintain stability and accuracy during drilling.
Reduced drilling forces: The combination of carbide and HSS materials reduces the cutting forces required during drilling, making it easier and more comfortable for the user. This can result in improved drilling speed and efficiency, as well as reduced fatigue.
Longevity and cost-effectiveness: The carbide tip significantly extends the lifespan of the drill bit compared to fully HSS drill bits. This increases the overall value and cost-effectiveness as carbide tips can be replaced when worn, extending the life of the bit.

Advantages
Enhanced durability: The combination of HSS and carbide provides excellent wear resistance, ensuring prolonged tool life and reduced need for frequent replacement.
Superior hardness: The carbide tip adds extra hardness to the drill bit, allowing it to cut through tough materials such as stainless steel, hardened steel, and cast iron, which may be challenging to drill with conventional HSS drill bits.
Increased heat resistance: The carbide tip has high-temperature resistance, increasing the drill bit's ability to withstand heat generated during drilling. This helps in preventing overheating, which can negatively affect drilling performance and cause premature wear.
Improved cutting speed: The carbide tip's sharpness, combined with the inherent hardness of carbide, allows for faster and more efficient drilling. This reduces drilling time and increases overall productivity.
Reduced friction and heat generation: The special design of the carbide tip reduces friction during drilling, resulting in less heat generation. This helps avoid heat-related damage to the workpiece and ensures cleaner, more precise holes.
Reliable chip evacuation: The flute design of the HSS body allows for efficient chip evacuation during drilling, preventing clogging and ensuring smooth drilling operations.
Widely available: HSS twist drill bits with carbide tips are readily available in various sizes and can be found in most hardware stores or online retailers. This makes them easily accessible for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts.
When using an HSS twist drill bit with a carbide tip, it is essential to use proper cutting fluid or lubrication to further enhance tool life and improve drilling performance. Additionally, adjusting drilling speeds and feed rates based on the specific material being drilled can optimize results and maximize the advantages of the drill bit.
