Twist drill bit KWB 248020, right-hand rotation, 1 pc

The kwb HSS-Co twist drill bit (KWB 248020) is a single right-hand rotation drill intended for precise drilling in demanding materials including alloyed and unalloyed steels, stainless steel (V2A/V4A), grey cast iron, cast steel, bronze and plastics. Made to DIN 338 standards with a 5% cobalt alloy, the drill features a 135° split point (DIN 1412 C) for self-centring performance and reduced slipping. The parallel shank provides universal compatibility with standard drill chucks.

Advantages

The 5% cobalt HSS-Co material increases heat resistance and cutting edge strength compared with standard high-speed steel. A 135° point angle with split point ensures accurate, self-centring starts and minimizes walking on the workpiece. Manufactured to DIN 338, the drill delivers consistent geometry and reliable dimensions for repeatable results. The parallel shank allows easy mounting in most drill chucks and holders.

Key specifications

How to use

Secure the twist drill in a suitable chuck and ensure the workpiece is clamped or fixed. Select an appropriate rotational speed and cutting fluid for the material being drilled—lower speeds and coolant are recommended for stainless steel and hard alloys. Start drilling with light pressure to allow the split point to self-centre, then apply steady feed until the hole is complete. Retract periodically to clear chips when drilling deep holes.

Recommendations

Use cutting lubricant for stainless steel and hard alloys, select lower rotational speeds for heat-sensitive materials, and replace the drill when wear reduces cutting performance. The single-piece supply (1 pc) is suitable as a spare or replacement bit for household and workshop drills.
