Carlyle 1/8 Inch HSS Cobalt 5% Drill Bit (CBD18)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CBD18

A Carlyle 1/8 inch HSS cobalt drill bit, the size for 1/8 inch pop rivet holes and for pilot holes before a larger bit. Its split point centres itself without skidding, and M35 steel with 5% cobalt keeps the edge in stainless and hard metals. DIN 338.

Good to know

• What is 1/8 inch good for? Holes for 1/8 inch (3.2mm) pop rivets and pilot holes for larger bits.
• How do I drill stainless? Low speed, steady pressure and cutting fluid; if the bit rubs instead of cutting, the metal hardens and blunts it.
• Why cobalt? 5% cobalt keeps the edge in hard metals and stainless steel, where ordinary HSS bits blunt quickly.
