About this product
Rawlplug HSS Drill Bit 5.0mm
The Rawlplug 5mm drill bit is made from HSS steel with a ground spiral for precise drilling. Its split point centres the bit on your mark and reduces the pressure needed, and the 135 degree point angle suits hard steel. It is manufactured to DIN 338, so you know the standard it is made to, and it is a useful single bit to replace one lost from a set or to keep for repeat holes of the same size.

Which one do I need?
Choose the 5.0mm size when your fixing, rivet or clearance hole calls for 5mm. A 5.0mm hole suits a clearance hole for many common screws. Because of the 135 degree split point, all three are aimed at drilling hard steel cleanly.
How to use
- Centre punch the mark so the point has a place to start.
- Clamp the workpiece firmly to the bench or in a vice.
- Fit the bit in the chuck and tighten it evenly.
- Drill at a low to moderate speed with steady pressure, using cutting fluid on steel.
- Wear eye protection and clear swarf with a brush, not your fingers.
