• Fully Ground HSS: High torsional strength and wear resistance; maintains sharpness under high RPMs.
• 118° Split Point Tip: Self-centering; eliminates need for center punching on flat or curved surfaces.
• Parallel Shank: 3 mm cylindrical shank fits securely in precision collets or micro chucks.
• Black Oxide Finish: Reduces friction, prevents corrosion, and improves chip flow.
• Efficient Chip Evacuation: Spiral flutes clear debris quickly, reducing heat buildup and clogging.

Ideal For:

• Precision Metalwork: Stainless steel, aluminum, brass (with cutting fluid)
• Electronics & Enclosures: Drilling small mounting holes in panels or PCBs
• Jewelry & Model Making: Fine, accurate holes in soft metals or plastics
• DIY & Repair: Confined-space drilling in appliances, fixtures, or automotive trim
