TOTEM HSS STEEL BIT M35 3.17MM 1 SOOT (FBR0201928)
Twist drill bit with a diameter of 3.17 mm, made from M35 high-speed steel (HSS) with cobalt alloy for enhanced hardness and wear resistance.
Overall length: approximately 65 mm; flute (cutting) length: 36 mm.
Tip angle: 135° split-point for easier self-centering and reduced “walking” at the start of drilling.
Suitable for drilling precise small holes (3.17 mm) in steel, alloys, aluminium, brass, plastics, and other materials.
M35 HSS offers better heat and wear resistance than standard HSS, making it suitable for harder metals.
The split-point tip allows drilling without a pilot hole and provides clean starts on metal surfaces.
Durable for repeated workshop, fabrication, or light industrial use.
Small diameter (3.17 mm) — ideal for light-duty or small-bore drilling, not for large holes.
Requires proper drilling speed and cooling/lubrication when working on hard metals to prevent overheating and reduce bit life.
For very hard, thick, or heavy-duty materials, carbide-tipped or specialized drill bits may perform better.
