Frequently Asked Questions

What materials can Sirius HSS drill bits cut through?

Sirius HSS drill bits are designed to drill through a wide range of materials including mild steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminium, copper, brass, plastics, and hardwoods. Always use appropriate cutting speeds and lubrication for optimal results and extended bit life.

How do I maintain my Sirius HSS drill bits?

Keep your drill bits sharp by using a proper drill bit sharpener or grinding wheel, maintaining the correct point angle (typically 118° for general use). Clean bits after use to remove swarf and apply a light oil coating to prevent corrosion. Always store in a dry environment, preferably in an organised case.

What's the difference between HSS and HSS-G drill bits?

HSS-G (ground) drill bits are precision ground rather than rolled, offering superior accuracy and sharper cutting edges. Sirius HSS bits are manufactured to exacting standards, providing reliable performance for professional applications across all standard drilling tasks.
