Axelord cobalt drill bit set, M35 steel
Product description
Key specifications
For occasional drilling in metal, a standard bit may be enough, work involving stainless steel or cast iron calls for a bit designed with harder materials in mind. This Axelord set uses M35 high-speed steel with 5% cobalt and a 135-degree split point, bringing those tougher jobs into focus. The listing specifies 10 pieces at 3/16 inch, so it’s worth matching that stated size to the holes you actually need before choosing the set.
The bits have a round straight shank and a fully ground twist design. The stated flute length is 2-5/16 inches, and an index storage case is included. The maker positions the set for stainless steel, cast iron, alloy, wood and hard plastics. Cobalt-bearing M35 steel is intended to offer better heat and wear resistance than a basic bit, but the listing does not give a lifespan or drilling-speed guarantee.
Who it’s for
This set makes sense for someone who needs a dedicated bit for repeat work in tougher materials, rather than a mixed assortment meant to cover many hole diameters. It’s a good choice if your project calls for 3/16-inch holes and you want a split point designed to centre more readily and reduce walking at the start of a cut. For example, when marking and drilling a small hole in a stainless-steel workpiece, the point design is intended to help keep the bit from wandering as it starts.
No te encajará si you need several different diameters in one purchase, since the product details give 3/16 inch as the stated size. The listing also does not specify a drill type or chuck range, so match the round shank to your tool rather than assuming compatibility. For light work in softer materials only, a more basic bit may be enough, the cobalt construction is most relevant when heat and wear are concerns.
Everyday use
The twist flutes are designed to carry debris out of the hole, while the fully ground profile is intended to reduce friction. In practice, the useful distinction is less about having one bit for every job and more about having a set of the stated diameter for repeated holes in suitable materials. The case can keep the pieces together between jobs, which is handy when moving between a bench and a work area.
The product description does not provide recommended speeds, feed pressure or care instructions. Those details matter when drilling metal, so work within the guidance for your drill and material instead of treating the bit’s design as a substitute for correct technique. The stated material list also includes wood and hard plastics, though this set’s defining feature is its M35 cobalt construction for demanding drilling.
Buying questions
Are there different sizes in the set? The listing describes 10 pieces and gives a diameter of 3/16 inch. It does not name a range of sizes.
What is the point angle? The bits have a 135-degree split-point design, described as self-centring and intended to reduce walking.
Which materials are listed? Stainless steel, cast iron, alloy, wood and hard plastics are named. The listing does not provide separate settings or performance figures for each material.
Final verdict
Pick this set when your work repeatedly calls for the stated 3/16-inch diameter and you value M35 cobalt steel, a split point and a storage case for jobs that include tougher materials. Skip it if you need a broader spread of sizes or more detailed guidance on speed, feed or tool compatibility, those needs are not covered by the product information.
