Metal drill bit sets

The metal drill bit sets in this product group comprise 12 article numbers. They come from Elora, Euroboor and FAMAG. They are arranged by diameter range and piece count. Common sets hold 5, 9, 19 and 25 bits, covering Ø1–13mm with different increments. The material is stated for each article number. These include HSS high-speed steel and fully ground HSS-G. There are also HSS-Co M35 and TiN-coated HSS. Representative examples are 1361-S and 1362-S. Alongside them are TDS and TDS.190. There are also TDC.25 and TDH.25. In addition there are the FAMAG codes 2410.525 and 2596.508.

Shank types include round straight shanks and C6,3 or E6,3 hex shanks, which fit directly into a cordless screwdriver through a 1/4 inch chuck. The group also includes the ELORA 1359-S countersink set with 6 pieces, Ø6.3–20.5mm. The content below compares by bit material. It also compares diameter range and piece count. And it compares by shank type. Intended for machine shops and installation teams. Genuine goods, imported, with origin as described for each article number.

A metal drill bit set brings together several twist drills across a diameter range, packed in a single case. The product group here currently holds 12 article numbers from Elora, Euroboor and FAMAG. The common diameter range runs from Ø1mm to Ø13mm, with increments that vary per set. Typical piece counts are 5, 9, 19 and 25 bits. Besides twist drills, the group also includes the ELORA 1359-S countersink set with 6 pieces.

The material is stated for each article number: HSS high-speed steel, fully ground HSS-G, HSS-Co M35 and TiN-coated HSS. Shank types include round straight shanks and C6,3 or E6,3 hex shanks. The hex-shank sets fit directly into a cordless screwdriver through a 1/4 inch chuck. Users can therefore choose according to the machine they already own, without changing the chuck. The cases differ by article number and include powder-coated steel cases, plastic cases and folding plastic cases.

Some sets arrange the bits in three tiers to shorten the time spent looking for a size. The FAMAG article numbers in the group state manufacture in Germany according to the product description. This page helps you compare the sets quickly using four main criteria. These are bit material, diameter range, piece count and shank type. The content below presents each criterion together with the corresponding article numbers. You can open the detail page of each article number to see the full specifications. This approach suits machine shops, installation teams and buyers with specific requirements.

Bit material and coating

The material determines the range of workpiece materials a bit set can handle. Four material groups are stated within this group. Standard HSS high-speed steel, fully ground HSS-G, cobalt-bearing HSS-Co and TiN-coated HSS. Each group is tied to its own article numbers, so cross-checking is straightforward. The section below lists each group with the description given in the product documentation.

The cobalt group includes TDS, made from HSS Cobalt M35 alloy steel, able to drill stainless steel as well. Article number 1362-S is coated with 5% cobalt alloy, and the bits have a characteristic gold colour. The description states high torque capacity and high rotation speed. Article number TDC.25 also uses 5% cobalt-coated high-speed steel, fully ground.

The fully ground high-speed steel group includes TDH.25 with a 40° helix angle, for faster chip evacuation. The HSS-G group covers the FAMAG article numbers 2410.525 and 2410.519. Article number TDS.190 uses TiN-coated HSS. The 1361-S set has a tensile strength of 900 N/mm².

Piece count and diameter range

The piece count directly affects size coverage on the job. The large sets in this group top out at 25 bits, spanning Ø1mm to Ø13mm. Mid-size sets hold 19 bits, spanning Ø1mm to Ø10mm. Compact sets hold 5 or 9 bits, focusing on frequently used sizes. The choice of piece count should be based on the hole sizes drilled repeatedly in daily work.

Article number 1361-S comes in two versions by quantity. Version 1361-S19 holds 19 bits from Ø1.0mm to Ø10mm. Version 1361-S25 holds 25 bits from Ø1.0mm to Ø13mm. Article numbers TDS and 1362-S are also available with 19 or 25 pieces in the Ø1–13mm range.

Fixed 25-piece sets include TDS.190, TDC.25 and TDH.25. From FAMAG, article number 2410.519 holds 19 pieces, Ø1–10mm. The small sets include 2596.805 and 2597.805 with 5 bits in Ø3, 4, 5, 6 and 8mm. Article number 2596.508 holds 9 pieces, Ø3–10mm.

Shank type and machine compatibility

The shank type determines which machine a bit set fits. This group has two main types: round straight shanks and hex shanks. Straight shanks are used with the familiar three-jaw chuck on a drill. Hex shanks fit straight into the quick-change holder of a cordless screwdriver. Users should check the chuck on their machine before choosing, to avoid buying the wrong shank type.

Article number 2596.805 uses a C6,3 hex shank with a 1/4 inch diameter, fitting directly into a cordless screwdriver. The description states that bit changes are quick. Article number 2597.805 uses an E6,3 hex shank. Article number 2596.508 also follows the hex shank type. On the round shank side there is 2410.525, while 2410.519 uses a straight shank.

Point angle, standards and countersinks

Point angles and technical standards are stated per article number in the documentation. These specifications help with cross-checking when an exact replacement is needed. The product group currently cites two standards, DIN 1412 C and DIN 338. Besides twist drills, the group also includes a countersink set for metal. The section below covers each case with the corresponding article numbers.

Article number 1361-S follows DIN 1412 C. Article number TDS meets DIN 338 with a 135° point angle. Article number TDC.25 has shank chamfers ground to form a 120° angle. The 1359-S countersink set holds 6 pieces, with a 90° countersink angle, diameters from 6.3 to 20.5mm, made of high-speed steel.

Cases and how to choose for your needs

The case affects storage and transport between sites. The group includes powder-coated steel cases, plastic cases and folding plastic cases. Some sets arrange the bits in three tiers, so all sizes are visible when the lid is opened. The countersink set is packed in a folding plastic case with every position marked. See each article number page for case dimensions.

Choose by workpiece material first, then by piece count. For drilling stainless steel, favour the cobalt group such as 1362-S, TDS or TDC.25. Mobile installation work suits the compact hex-shank sets. Workshops needing full coverage of Ø1–13mm should look at 2410.525 or TDS.190.
