Metric Jobber Drill Set Selection — Quick Reference
Metric jobber drill sets — STANDARD-LENGTH drill bits in METRIC SIZES (1-13mm typical) for workshop + maintenance + fabrication. Match GRADE (HSS / Cobalt / TiN) + Material + see imperial jobber drill sets for imperial.
| Metric Jobber Set Type | Best For |
|---|---|
| HSS Standard (1-13mm) | Workshop general — steel + brass |
| HSS + TiN Coated | Longer life + general purpose |
| Cobalt M35 (5% Cobalt) | Stainless + tough material — see cobalt drill bits |
| Cobalt M42 (8% Cobalt) | Premium + hardened material |
| HSS-PM (Premium) | Best wear + edge retention |
| Sets of 19/25/41 Pieces | Workshop standard range |
| 1-10mm Set | Workshop common range |
| 1-13mm Set | Workshop extended range |
Critical: Use cutting LUBRICANT — see cutting lubricants for bit life. See drill bit size chart for tap drill lookup. Brands: Sutton Tools, P&N, Bordo. Companion: drill bits, long drill bits, drilling.
Metric Jobber Drill Sets
AIMS Industrial sells metric jobber drill bit sets for all industrial, workshop and maintenance drilling applications. Our range from Sutton Tools, Bordo, Saber and Pferd includes sets in 0.5 mm and 1 mm increments from 1 mm to 25 mm in HSS, HSS-Co cobalt and coated grades, packaged in quality indexed cases.
Metric Drill Set Size Ranges
- 1–10 mm (0.5 mm increments): A 19-piece set covering fine-pitch fastener tapping and clearance requirements — the most commonly used range in metal fabrication and maintenance.
- 1–13 mm (1 mm increments): 13-piece general-purpose set in 1 mm steps — fast size selection for the most common hole sizes encountered in workshop drilling.
- 1–6 mm precision sets: Fine-increment sets for instrumentation, electronics, PCB drilling and small tapping pilots in M2–M5 fastener ranges.
- 1–25 mm complete sets: Full-range maintenance and toolroom sets in 1 mm increments — replaces multiple smaller sets with a single comprehensive kit.
- Half-size (0.5 mm increment) sets: More precise diameter control for tapping pilots, reaming stock removal, and close-tolerance fit drilling across the common engineering size range.
Grade and Quality Considerations
- HSS M2 grade: Standard general-purpose grade suitable for mild steel, stainless (with cutting fluid), aluminium, brass, copper and engineering plastics.
- HSS-Co M35/M42: 5% and 8% cobalt content for drilling stainless, duplex, Inconel and hardened alloy steels where M2 dulls rapidly.
- Ground vs rolled flute: Ground-flute drills provide tighter diameter tolerance and smoother surface finish — required for precision work; rolled flute suits general production.
- Drill case quality: Indexed metal or high-quality plastic cases protect cutting edges and speed up size selection — critical for high-volume production drilling environments.
