Description
The KnKut 5-Pc Carbide Tipped Hard Steel Left Hand Drill Bit Set (5KK9-LH) is a specialized tool engineered for precision drilling in the most challenging materials. Crafted in the USA, this set offers a reliable solution for situations requiring exceptional material penetration and the removal of broken components. Each bit is carbide-tipped and designed for use in hardened steel ranging from 48 to 65 Rockwell “C.”
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
- Exceptional Hard Material Drilling: Specifically designed to drill into hardened steel from 48 to 65 Rockwell “C” without annealing the material, preserving its integrity.
- Broken Tap and Fastener Extraction: The left-hand (counter-clockwise) rotation is ideal for drilling into broken taps, studs, and other fasteners, often assisting in their removal.
- Precision Performance: Allows for the creation of clean holes in extremely tough and exotic metals, ensuring reliable results in critical applications.
- Versatile Application: Suitable for a range of tasks including drilling broken studs, removing spring bolts, working with die sections, and addressing broken easy-outs.
- Optimized for Tough Jobs: Engineered to perform under heavy pressure and low RPMs, ensuring effective cutting and extending bit life in demanding environments.
SPECIFICATIONS:
- Manufacturer: KnKut (Made in USA)
- Model Number: 5KK9-LH
- Material: Carbide Tipped Hard Steel
- Drill Bit Type: Left Hand Jobber Length
- Includes: 1 piece each of the following sizes:
- 1/8″
- 3/16″
- 1/4″
- 5/16″ x 4″
- 3/8″ x 4″
HOW TO USE:
- Select the Correct Bit: Choose the appropriate drill bit size for the broken fastener or the hole you intend to drill.
- Set Drill to Reverse: Crucially, set your drill motor to reverse mode. These are left-hand bits and will only cut effectively when spinning counter-clockwise.
- Apply Cutting Oil: Before drilling, liberally apply cutting oil to the drill bit and the workpiece. This lubricates the cutting action, dissipates heat, and extends the life of the bit.
- Use Heavy Pressure: Apply significant, consistent pressure to the drill bit. Unlike standard drilling, these bits require substantial force to penetrate hardened materials.
- Maintain Low RPMs: Operate your drill at a low revolutions per minute (RPM) setting. High speeds will generate excessive heat and can damage the carbide tip.
- Drill and Observe: Begin drilling slowly. When addressing broken taps, the counter-clockwise rotation may help to back out the tap as you drill deeper. Continue drilling until the broken component is loosened or the required hole depth is achieved.
- Preferred Tool: While usable in portable drills, drill presses are highly recommended for optimal stability, consistent pressure, and precision.
