Narex 65405601 Cobalt HSS-Co Metal Drill Set, 5 pcs (3-8 mm)
The Narex 65405601 high-performance drill set is engineered for demanding operations in common and alloyed steels. Made from high-speed steel with 5% cobalt content (HSS-Co), these bits conduct heat efficiently, making them resistant to high loads and temperatures. This 5-piece set includes diameters 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8 mm – ideal for stainless steel, cast iron, and other tough metals.
Features
- 5% cobalt (HSS-Co): Superior heat resistance and red hardness.
- Set contents: Ø3, 4, 5, 6, 8 mm.
- Cylindrical shank: Fits all standard drill chucks.
- Cross-ground point: Self-centering, reduces thrust.
- Ground flutes: Smooth chip evacuation.
Benefits
- Drills stainless steel without rapid dulling.
- Maintains cutting edge at higher temperatures.
- Reduces need for constant pecking and cooling.
- Longer tool life in automated and manual drilling.
Set Contents
- Ø3 mm – pilot holes for M4 taps
- Ø4 mm – clearance for M4 screws
- Ø5 mm – standard rivet hole
- Ø6 mm – M6 clearance or dowel hole
- Ø8 mm – larger fasteners and plumbing
