A 19-piece set of HSS roll forged jobber drill bits covering 1mm to 10mm in 0.5mm increments. Manufactured to DIN338, with a 118° tip angle and black oxide finish. Suitable for steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals and plastics.
This 19-piece HSS roll forged jobber drill bit set covers every common size from 1mm to 10mm in 0.5mm steps, giving you a full working range in one case. These are general-purpose hss jobber drill bits made to the DIN338 standard, which means consistent geometry and reliable performance across the set. Whether you are working on a bench drill or using a hand-held rotary drill, these bits are a practical everyday choice for metal, plastic and similar materials.
Roll forging is the manufacturing process that gives these bits their strength. The flutes are formed under heat and pressure rather than cut from raw stock, which aligns the grain structure of the steel along the length of the bit. The result is a bit that resists flexing and is less prone to snapping under load — useful when you are pushing through thicker sections of steel or working at awkward angles.
What the HSS Roll Forged Jobber Drill Set Covers
The 118° tip angle is the standard point geometry for general metalworking and is well suited to a wide range of materials. It cuts cleanly through mild steel, cast iron, aluminium, brass, copper and most engineering plastics without the need for a pilot hole on smaller sizes. The angle also makes it easier to locate the bit on the workpiece surface without wandering, which matters when accuracy counts.
The black oxide finish does two jobs. It reduces friction slightly as the bit enters the material, and it provides a degree of surface protection against rust during storage. It is not a hard coating like TiN, but for a general-purpose set at this price point, it does the job. Keep the bits clean and dry between uses and they will last considerably longer.
Parallel Shank and Chuck Compatibility
All 19 bits have a parallel shank, which means they fit directly into any standard 3-jaw drill chuck, whether on a hand drill, cordless drill driver, or a bench or pillar drill. There are no reduced shanks in the set, so what you see on the case label is what goes into the chuck.
The set comes supplied in a fold-out plastic case that holds each bit in its own numbered slot. It is a small thing, but having the sizes clearly organised saves time on site and stops bits rolling around loose in a toolbox. The case closes securely, which means the set travels well in a bag or van without bits going missing.
For anyone needing a dependable set of hss jobber drill bits that covers the full everyday range without spending a lot, this 19-piece set is a straightforward choice. It is not a premium cobalt set for stainless or hardened steel, but for general fabrication, maintenance work, joinery fixings and plastics, it covers the vast majority of jobs you will encounter.
Pro Tip: When drilling steel with HSS bits, keep the cutting speed moderate and apply cutting oil regularly — running too fast without lubrication will overheat the tip and blunt the bit far sooner than the material itself would.
This HSS jobber drill bit set is used across general fabrication, maintenance, electrical installation, plumbing, joinery and light engineering. The size range from 1mm to 10mm covers the most common hole sizes needed for fixings, cable entries, pilot holes and clearance holes. The bits work well in mild steel, cast iron, aluminium, brass, copper and engineering plastics. They are equally at home on a bench drill in a workshop or in a hand-held cordless drill on site.

Not suitable for: These bits are not suitable for drilling hardened steel, stainless steel or masonry. For stainless or hardened alloys, a cobalt HSS bit is the correct choice.
Always mark your drill position with a centre punch before starting, particularly on metal. This stops the bit wandering across the surface and gives a clean entry point. For holes above 6mm in steel, drill a pilot hole first at around half the finished diameter to reduce the load on the larger bit and improve accuracy.
Use cutting oil on all metallic materials. Apply it to the cutting zone before drilling and reapply during the cut, especially on thicker sections. Keep the drill speed moderate — a slower, steady feed with good lubrication will outperform a fast, dry cut every time. For plastics, no cutting oil is needed, but reduce the feed pressure slightly to avoid cracking or melting at the exit point.
Mark the drill position with a centre punch to prevent the bit wandering on entry
Select the correct bit size and seat it fully in the 3-jaw chuck
For holes over 6mm in steel, drill a pilot hole at approximately half the finished diameter first
Apply cutting oil to the drill point before starting on any metallic material
Set the drill to a moderate speed — lower for larger diameters, slightly higher for smaller sizes
Apply steady, even feed pressure and allow the bit to cut without forcing it
Reapply cutting oil during the cut on thicker sections of metal
Clear swarf regularly and allow the bit to cool if drilling multiple holes in quick succession
Can these bits be used in a cordless drill driver?
Yes. The parallel shank fits any standard 3-jaw chuck, including those on cordless drill drivers, hand-held rotary drills and bench or pillar drills. Just make sure the chuck is tightened firmly before drilling.
Are these HSS drill bits suitable for stainless steel?
No. Standard HSS roll forged bits are not recommended for stainless steel. Stainless work hardens quickly when drilled incorrectly, and standard HSS tips will blunt fast. A cobalt HSS bit is the correct choice for stainless steel applications.
What sizes are included in the 19-piece set?
The set contains: 1.0mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 3.0mm, 3.5mm, 4.0mm, 4.5mm, 5.0mm, 5.5mm, 6.0mm, 6.5mm, 7.0mm, 7.5mm, 8.0mm, 8.5mm, 9.0mm, 9.5mm and 10.0mm — 19 bits covering every 0.5mm increment in that range.
These drill bits are manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) using a roll forging process, which aligns the grain structure of the steel along the flute for improved toughness and break resistance compared to ground-from-bar alternatives. The 118° included point angle is the standard geometry for general-purpose metalworking to DIN338. The black oxide surface treatment reduces friction at the cutting edge and provides light corrosion resistance during storage.
