Rawlplug 6.5mm HSS Drill Bit with SPLIT POINT for Metal and Steel

Precision ground for clean, accurate holes:

This Rawlplug 6.5mm HSS drill bit features a ground spiral rather than a rolled one, producing tighter tolerances and a cleaner finish in the cut. The result is a more accurate hole with less deviation, which is particularly noticeable when working in harder metals such as structural steel and sheet profiles.

SPLIT POINT geometry for easy starting:

The SPLIT POINT double-sided geometry at the tip centres the bit on contact, eliminating the need for a centre punch on most applications. This reduces drilling pressure and the tendency for the bit to wander, making it easier to start holes accurately in flat or curved metal surfaces.

135° angle and HSS construction for hard materials:

A 135° point angle is better suited to hard steel than the 118° angle found on general-purpose bits, as it distributes cutting force more evenly across the tip. High Speed Steel (HSS) construction maintains hardness at the elevated temperatures generated when drilling steel, aluminium, and other non-ferrous metals.

DIN 338 standard for consistent sizing:

Manufactured to DIN 338, this bit meets a recognised international standard governing the dimensions and tolerances of jobber-length drill bits. That means the 6.5mm diameter is consistent from bit to bit, which matters when drilling to fit fasteners or fixings to a specific size.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a SPLIT POINT tip?

The SPLIT POINT is Rawlplug's double-sided tip geometry that centres the bit on contact with the metal surface, so the drill starts exactly where placed without wandering. It also reduces the pressure needed to begin cutting, which helps on both flat and curved metal. For most applications, a centre punch is not required before drilling.

Why does this HSS drill bit use a 135° point angle rather than the standard 118°?

A 135° point angle distributes cutting force more evenly across the tip, making it better suited to hard steel than a standard 118° general-purpose bit. Combined with High Speed Steel construction, which maintains hardness at the elevated temperatures generated when cutting metal, the bit holds up consistently when drilling carbon steel, aluminium, and other non-ferrous metals.

What materials is this HSS steel drill bit designed to cut through?

This 6.5 mm HSS drill bit is designed for carbon steel, aluminium, and non-ferrous metals. Specific base materials include structural steel, metal sheet and profiles, and aluminium. It is not intended for masonry, wood, or plastics. The HSSP-065 is supplied as a single bit in a retail plastic box.

What does a ground spiral mean for hole quality compared to a standard HSS drill bit?

A ground spiral is machined to tighter tolerances than a rolled one, producing cleaner, more accurate holes with less deviation. This is particularly noticeable in harder metals such as structural steel and sheet profiles, where a rolled bit can leave a rougher finish. DIN 338 compliance also ensures the 6.5 mm cutting diameter is consistent from bit to bit, which matters when drilling to fit a specific fastener size.
