Labor Cobalt Drill Bit 8mm x 117mm

The Labor Cobalt Drill Bit 8mm x 117mm is a high-performance tool designed for drilling through tough materials with precision and ease. This drill bit is particularly well-suited for professional and DIY applications where durability and efficiency are paramount.

Features

Material Composition: The Drill Bit is made from high-speed steel (HSS) alloyed with 5% cobalt. This composition enhances the bit's hardness and heat resistance, making it ideal for drilling through hard metals such as stainless steel, cast iron, and high-tensile alloys.
Size and Dimensions: With a diameter of 8mm and an overall length of 117mm, this drill bit is versatile enough for a variety of drilling tasks. The working length of the bit is typically around 75mm, providing ample depth for most drilling needs.
Precision Ground: The bit is precision ground to ensure a sharp cutting edge and accurate drilling. This precision grinding process also helps to reduce friction and heat build-up during drilling, extending the life of the bit.
135-Degree Split Point Tip: The 135-degree split point tip design allows for easy starting and reduces the risk of the bit walking or skidding on the material surface. This feature is particularly useful when drilling into hard metals, as it ensures a clean and precise entry point.
DIN338 Standard: The Drill Bit is manufactured to DIN338 standards, which means it meets stringent quality and performance criteria. This standard ensures that the bit is suitable for professional use and can withstand rigorous drilling tasks.

Benefits

Enhanced Durability: The addition of cobalt to the high-speed steel significantly improves the bit's durability and heat resistance. This makes it capable of withstanding high temperatures generated during drilling, reducing wear and extending the bit's lifespan.
Efficient Drilling: The precision ground cutting edges and split point tip ensure efficient drilling with minimal effort. This efficiency is crucial for professional applications where time and precision are critical.
Versatility: The 8mm diameter and 117mm length make this drill bit suitable for a wide range of applications, from metalworking to construction and DIY projects. Its ability to handle tough materials makes it a versatile addition to any toolkit.
Cost-Effective: Despite its high performance, the Labor Cobalt Drill Bit offers excellent value for money. Its durability and efficiency mean fewer replacements and less downtime, making it a cost-effective choice for both professionals and hobbyists.

Practical Applications

Metalworking: The Labor Cobalt Drill Bit is ideal for drilling through various metals, including stainless steel, cast iron, and high-tensile alloys. Its heat resistance and durability make it perfect for demanding metalworking tasks.
Construction: In construction, this drill bit can be used for drilling into metal beams, pipes, and other structural components. Its precision and strength ensure clean and accurate holes, essential for structural integrity.
