Festool BKS SYS3 D3-10 HSS CE 6-Piece Metal Drill Bit Case

At a Glance: Six HSS CENTROTEC metal drill bits from 3 mm to 10 mm, securely organised in a magnetic Systainer³ lid-compartment cassette.

The Festool BKS SYS3 D3-10 HSS CE is a professional six-piece metal drill bit set that combines accurate drilling, rapid tool changes and brilliantly organised storage. The high-quality HSS drill bits are ground and polished for clean, controlled drilling in alloyed and unalloyed steel, soft non-ferrous metals and plastics. Each bit features a CENTROTEC interface for direct insertion into the WH-CE CENTROTEC tool chuck, helping you change between sizes quickly while maintaining a compact working setup. The practical cassette incorporates magnets that hold every drill securely in its dedicated position and fits neatly into compatible Systainer³ lid compartments. It can also be used as a convenient standalone drill bit case on the workbench or job site.

Professional HSS drilling with organised Systainer³ storage

This carefully selected set covers six commonly used drilling diameters: 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm and 10 mm. Precision conical tips assist with accurate positioning, while the ground HSS construction delivers dependable performance across fabrication, installation, maintenance and general metalworking applications.

Product highlights

  • Six essential sizes: Includes 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm and 10 mm metal drill bits.

Features

  • Six-piece diameter range: Provides a useful selection of drill sizes for everyday workshop and installation work.
  • Ground HSS drill bits: Manufactured from high-speed steel and finished for controlled, efficient drilling.
  • Conical drill tips: Support precise and secure positioning on the workpiece.
  • CENTROTEC interface: Fits directly into the Festool WH-CE CENTROTEC tool chuck.
  • Magnetic cassette: Holds each drill securely in a clearly organised position.
  • Lid-compartment format: Fits compatible Systainer³ lid compartments for space-efficient storage.
  • Portable construction: The cassette remains practical when used independently on site or in the workshop.

Benefits

  • Faster drill changes: The CENTROTEC system makes it quick and simple to change between drill diameters.
  • Improved organisation: Every drill has a dedicated storage position, making missing sizes easier to identify.
  • Reliable transport: Magnetic retention helps prevent the drills from moving around inside the cassette.
  • Accurate starting: The precision tips make positioning easier and help reduce drill-bit wandering.
  • Compact storage: The cassette uses available Systainer³ lid space without occupying the main storage compartment.
  • Ready for varied tasks: The 3 mm to 10 mm selection covers many common drilling requirements.

Application

  • Drilling alloyed and unalloyed steel.
  • Drilling soft non-ferrous metals.
  • Drilling suitable plastic materials.
  • Metal fabrication and installation work.
  • Workshop maintenance and repair applications.
  • On-site assembly and construction tasks.
  • Producing pilot holes and clearance holes.

Extra Information

  • Direct CENTROTEC operation requires a Festool WH-CE CENTROTEC tool chuck and a compatible machine with FastFix tool reception.
  • The cassette is suitable for compatible Systainer³ models with lid compartments and can also be used independently.
  • Select the drilling speed according to the material and drill diameter; larger bits generally require a lower speed.
  • Suitable cutting lubricant can improve drilling performance and reduce heat when working in steel.
  • The Systainer³ storage case and power tool are not included.
  • Clean and dry the drill bits before returning them to the cassette to help protect the cutting surfaces.

Pro Tips

  • Mark the drilling position with a centre punch before starting on metal to reduce bit wandering.
  • For larger holes, begin with a smaller pilot drill before progressing to the required diameter.
  • Reduce the drilling speed as the drill diameter increases and maintain steady, controlled pressure.
  • Use a suitable cutting fluid when drilling steel to reduce heat and extend the service life of the cutting edges.
  • Withdraw the drill periodically from deeper holes to clear swarf and allow additional lubricant to reach the cutting area.
  • Support thin sheet material securely to minimise distortion, grabbing and excessive burr formation.
  • When drilling plastic, use controlled speed and pressure to prevent excessive heat, melting or cracking.
  • Allow a hot drill bit to cool before cleaning it or returning it to the storage cassette.

How to Use

  • Confirm that the workpiece material is suitable for an HSS metal drill bit.
  • Mark the hole position and use a centre punch on metal where appropriate.
  • Select the required drill diameter from the magnetic cassette.
  • Insert the CENTROTEC shank into the compatible WH-CE CENTROTEC tool chuck and confirm that it is securely locked.
  • Clamp the workpiece firmly and ensure that the drilling area is clear.
  • Set the drill to the correct rotational direction and choose a suitable speed for the material and bit diameter.
  • Apply suitable cutting lubricant when required, particularly when drilling steel.
  • Position the bit squarely on the marked point and begin drilling with light, controlled pressure.
  • Clear swarf periodically when drilling deeper holes and avoid forcing the bit through the material.
  • After drilling, stop the machine completely, remove the drill safely, clean it and return it to its dedicated cassette position.

Safety

  • Wear suitable eye and hearing protection while drilling.
  • Secure the workpiece with clamps and never attempt to hold small metal components by hand.
  • Disconnect the machine from its power source before installing, removing or inspecting a drill bit.
  • Confirm that the CENTROTEC shank is fully inserted and securely locked before operating the machine.
  • Keep loose clothing, jewellery, hair and unsuitable gloves away from rotating components.
  • Use the correct drill speed for the material and diameter to reduce overheating, grabbing and bit damage.
  • Do not apply excessive pressure or sideways force to the drill bit.
  • Metal swarf can be extremely sharp; remove it with a brush after the tool and workpiece have stopped completely.
  • Do not touch the drill bit immediately after use, as it may be dangerously hot.
  • Inspect every bit before use and replace any drill that is bent, cracked, excessively worn or otherwise damaged.
