Drill bits, HSS-G, 10,2 (M12) | VÖLKEL
Drill bits, HSS-G, 10,2 (M12)
Use this drill bit for general drilling tasks in maintenance and fabrication, where correct setup and lubrication influence tool life.
Use consistent feed and avoid rubbing, since heat and work hardening can reduce tool life. M denotes ISO metric thread designation used for common metric screw threads in machine building and maintenance. HSS-G indicates a ground high speed steel tool, typically selected when edge definition and repeatability matter.
- Drill to create a stable, round hole where the following process step depends on accurate positioning.
- Process: manual driving or assisted driving depending on your holder and machine setup
- Use: thread cutting, re tapping, and thread cleaning depending on condition
- Clean chips from the tool and hole regularly to reduce torque peaks and edge chipping.
Note Clear chips frequently to reduce friction and to keep the cutting edges protected.
- General purpose hole making for workshop tasks
- Stable cutting edges when your setup is consistent
- Suitable for preparation steps before threading and assembly
- Simple tool selection when diameter is defined in the product name
Drawbacks
- Limited by work material hardness and by the stability of your clamping setup
- Not intended for high performance production cycles without validated process parameters
- Mark the drilling point and secure the workpiece with stable clamping.
- Center the tool and start with straight alignment to the surface.
- Apply suitable lubrication for the work material if your process requires it.
- Drill with consistent feed while allowing chips to evacuate freely.
- Retract to clear chips when needed and avoid rubbing at low feed.
- Deburr the hole edge and clean the bore before the next process step.
- 1 piece Drill bits, HSS-G, 10,2 (M12)
- Product type: Drill Bit
- Thread designation: M
- Tool material: HSS-G
- How do you select the correct thread designation for this product
- Match the thread designation in the product name to the mating fastener or component standard, then confirm that your workpiece material and process setup suit the tool type. If you work with mixed standards, separate your tooling by thread family to avoid mix ups.
- How do you select drilling parameters
- Set speed and feed based on the work material and your machine capability, then adjust to maintain stable chip evacuation. Use lubrication where needed and avoid rubbing. If the bore will be threaded, keep the hole round and the entry edge clean.
- Which hole preparation checks matter most
- Prepare the entry edge, remove burrs, and keep the hole clean so the tool starts straight. In blind holes, confirm that there is enough depth for the tool lead and chip space. In through holes, support chip evacuation out of the exit side.
- How do you reduce the risk of misalignment
- Start the tool with the axis visually aligned, then guide it through the first turns with low torque. Use stable workholding and avoid side load. If a thread feels tight early, remove the tool, clean chips, and inspect the entry.
- Can this be used for thread preparation
- If the product name indicates a thread preparation context, use it as the drilling step before tapping or forming. Follow your tapping chart or process sheet for the correct drill assignment. Keep the hole clean before the threading step.
