HSS Drill Bit

$3.84

A precision-ground high-speed steel drill bit engineered for clean, accurate boring across timber, light metal, and composite materials in cabinetry and joinery applications.

Manufactured from M2-grade high-speed steel, these bits maintain sharp cutting geometry under sustained use, resisting heat build-up that causes premature edge failure in lower-grade tooling. The ground flute profile clears swarf efficiently, reducing friction and improving hole quality in both handheld and drill-press applications. Available in eight diameters from Ø2.0mm to Ø10.0mm, the range covers pilot holes, hinge-cup boring, hardware mounting, and general fabrication tasks common to cabinet and shopfitting trades.

Materials & Finish

  • M2-grade high-speed steel (HSS) construction
  • Precision-ground cutting edges for clean entry and exit
  • Heat-treated for extended tool life under continuous use
  • Standard bright finish; no coating applied
  • Available in Ø2.0mm, Ø2.4mm (3/32"), Ø3.0mm, Ø4.0mm, Ø4.2mm, Ø5.0mm, Ø8.0mm, Ø10.0mm

What Works Well With It

Suited to cabinetmakers and shopfitters working with frameless and face-frame cabinet construction, where consistent pilot-hole accuracy is critical to hinge alignment and hardware seating. The Ø4.2mm and Ø5.0mm sizes are particularly well-matched to European hinge screw pilot requirements, while the Ø8.0mm and Ø10.0mm bits suit shelf-pin and cable-grommet boring in melamine and MDF board.
