Description
Overview:
The Addax HSS Jobber Drill is a 2.5 mm diameter bit designed for accurate drilling in metals and plastics. Made from M2 alloyed high‐speed steel (HSS), it offers reliable cutting performance and good heat resistance under continuous use. It is manufactured to DIN 338, the standard for jobber‐length twist drills used in handheld drills, cordless drill drivers, and pillar drills. The overall length is 57 mm (approx 2.24 in), with a slim, cylindrical shank that fits standard 3‐jaw chucks. At 2.5 mm (approx 0.098 in) it is a common size for pilot holes and for preparing tap holes for M3 threads in maintenance and fabrication work. Suitable for workshop, site, and machinery repair tasks across construction and garden equipment. MPN: 902 0564.
