TOTEM HSS STUB STEEL BIT 6MM (FBR0200363)

The Totem HSS Stub Series 6mm Drill Bit (FBR0200363) is a compact, high-precision drilling tool from Forbes Precision Tools (Totem), designed for accurate hole-making in metals, alloys, plastics, and wood. Part of the Stub Series, it features a short flute and overall length for superior rigidity, reduced deflection, and minimal breakage—ideal for hand-held drilling, tight spaces, or machine applications where stability is critical. Fully ground from premium High-Speed Steel (HSS), it offers excellent heat resistance, sharpness retention, and durability under high RPMs. Conforms to DIN 1897 standard with a self-centering 118° split point for instant bite and clean entry without pre-drilling.

Key Features:

• Stub Length Design: Ultra-short body (48 mm overall, ~38 mm flute) delivers maximum torsional strength and control, especially in portable drills.
• Precision Ground: Fully ground spiral flutes ensure efficient chip removal and smooth, burr-free holes.
• Parallel Shank: 6 mm cylindrical shank fits securely in standard 3-jaw chucks or collets (no slippage).
• 118° Split Point: Self-centering tip eliminates walking; starts instantly on flat or curved surfaces.
• Black Oxide Finish: Reduces friction, improves corrosion resistance, and extends tool life.
• High-Speed Performance: Suitable for speeds up to 3,500 RPM (with coolant on steel); maintains edge longer than carbon steel bits.

Ideal For:

• Metalworking: Mild steel, stainless (with cutting oil), aluminum, brass
• Automotive & Fabrication: Drilling brackets, panels, or repair plates
• DIY & Maintenance: Accurate holes in confined areas (e.g., machinery repair, enclosures)
• Not for deep holes – use jobber or long-series bits for depths >4x diameter

Users rate it 4.7/5 for sharpness, durability, and value—often preferred over generic bits for professional results.
