What exactly are these suited for
« on: January 27, 2011, 04:08:32 PM »
HSS cutter drill bit set titanium drill 6x + wooden box

They look to be a cross between Milling bits and normal drill bits.

Thanks for the reply. So in essence they are only for milling (routing) thin metal plates?

These are for using with things like a rotazip for cutting plasterboard excetera. The idea is you can push straight into the material and free cut.
Once in hole stop digging.

What Swarfin said... they're a sort of cross between a drill & a routing bit. Dunno how effective they'd be in metal, probably they'd just snap.
Cheers!

Just give them to someone who works with the brown stuff, they are not accurate enough if working with metal, you could end up with holes all shapes and sizes.

They are not even that good in the brown stuff so don't give them to me.

They are no good if you just poke them through the work and try to move them sideways.  They are useful for non precision work if once through the material you work them back and forth like a file, obiviously this is really only practical if you are using them in an electric hand drill.
