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.
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.

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.
