Makita HSS-G Metal Drill Bit 2.5 x 57 mm (D-09678)

This 1-piece Makita HSS-G metal drill bit is made for everyday metalworking and general fabrication. It's ground from high-speed steel and cuts accurate holes in a range of tough materials. It's typically used for workshop tasks such as drilling mounting holes or preparing parts for screws and fasteners. The hardened body keeps its cutting edge during repeated use, and it works as either a direct replacement or a useful addition to an existing metalworking tool kit.

A polished cutting surface helps the bit produce clean, consistent holes with less grabbing or wandering on the workpiece. It has a 2.5 mm cylindrical shank for straightforward tool mounting, and the straight shank fits standard corded and cordless power drills without the need for special adapters. The uniform profile runs from the shank to the cutting flutes.

• 2.5 mm cutting diameter for pilot holes and small-scale fastening preparation.
• 57 mm overall length with a 30 mm working section for clearance through standard stock.
• 118-degree point angle for clean starting without excessive downward pressure.
• Rated for drilling solid steel up to 900 N/mm² tensile strength.
• Compatible with non-ferrous metals such as aluminium, brass, and copper.
• Suitable for cast iron and hard plastics as well as standard metal fabrication.
