Application

You use the HexDrive drill as the first material-removal step before thread cutting or related workshop operations. The diameter 6.8 mm must be verified against the process data before drilling.

HSSE is stated in the product name and supports demanding cutting conditions when the setup is controlled. Do not use the drill as a substitute for a dedicated countersink, tap, or gauge.

Application

  • for drilling the stated hole diameter before a following machining or threading step
  • for HexDrive drilling setups where the interface and diameter match the process
  • for workshop, maintenance, assembly, and repair preparation work
  • for material removal only, not for thread inspection or insert installation

Note Verify the required drill diameter from the process data before drilling and check the hole before continuing.

Benefits

  • The stated drill diameter gives a clear reference for hole preparation.
  • HSSE material is stated in the product name and supports controlled drilling in suitable materials.
  • HexDrive or repair-specific execution helps connect the drill to the intended workflow.
  • Defined drilling preparation helps prevent wrong follow-up tool selection.
Drawbacks
  • A drill does not define the finished thread by itself, so verify the following tap or repair sequence before drilling.

Step by step

  1. Confirm the required drilling diameter from the process data.
  2. Secure the workpiece before drilling.
  3. Align the drill with the intended hole axis.
  4. Apply suitable cutting fluid where the material and operation require it.
  5. Drill with controlled feed and speed.
  6. Remove chips from the hole after drilling.
  7. Check the drilled hole before the next machining step.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

What is the drill used for?

It prepares a hole with the diameter stated in the product title before the following machining step.

Can it cut an internal thread?

No, a twist drill removes material and a matching tap or repair process creates the thread afterwards.

How do you select the correct diameter?

Use the diameter from the process data, drawing, or repair sequence and do not estimate from nearby sizes.

What should you check before drilling?

Check workpiece clamping, alignment, material, lubrication, and the required follow-up operation.

What prevents a wrong follow-up thread?

Verify the tap or repair data before drilling so the prepared hole matches the next tool.
