Broca helicoidal KWB 248025 1 unidad giro a la derecha

The kwb HSS-Co twist drill bit (KWB 248025) is a right-hand rotation drill designed for precise drilling in alloyed and unalloyed steel, stainless steel (V2A/V4A), grey cast iron, cast steel, bronze and plastics. Manufactured to DIN 338 from high-speed steel with 5% cobalt, it features a 135° point angle with a split point according to DIN 1412 C for reliable self-centring and reduced walking. The drill has a parallel shank for universal compatibility with standard drilling chucks.

Advantages

The 5% cobalt HSS-Co material increases heat resistance and wear life when drilling hard or alloyed metals. The 135° point angle with split point provides accurate centring and easier drilling start without pilot holes. Compliance with DIN 338 and DIN 1412 C ensures consistent geometry and reliable performance across applications. The parallel shank simplifies mounting in standard chucks and drill holders.

Key specifications

How to use

Secure the parallel shank in a suitable chuck and tighten firmly. Select recommended cutting speeds and appropriate coolant or cutting fluid for the material being drilled, especially for stainless and alloyed steels to reduce heat and prolong tool life. Start drilling at low speed to allow the split point to self-centre, then increase speed and feed according to material and drill diameter. Retract periodically to clear chips when drilling deep holes.

Recommendations

Use cutting fluid for stainless and alloyed steels, avoid excessive feed rates that may cause overheating, and replace the drill when wear or chipping of the point reduces accuracy. Follow machine and workpiece manufacturer guidance for speeds, feeds and clamping.
