Bits fail either by tip wear or by torsional fracture. S2 steel quenched and tempered to roughly HRC 60 wears slowly but has limited toughness; tip geometry decides contact area, and a tip that is slightly off-size concentrates load on the lobe tips and multiplies wear rate.
Material: S2 Alloy Steel. It is installed by 1/4-inch chuck on electric or pneumatic driver.
Match bit to recess type (standard or enhanced); mixing them accelerates wear on both parts.
| Material | S2 Alloy Steel |
|---|---|
| Hardness | HRC60-62 |
| Drive | 1/4 inch hex shank |
| Sizes | T6-T40 |
| Standard | DIN 3126 (1/4-inch drive), ISO 1173 |
| Installation | 1/4-inch chuck on electric or pneumatic driver |
| Typical substrate | star recess screws |
| Key inspections | tip dimensions, hardness, torque to fracture |
Tip dimensions are checked on a profile projector against the recess standard.We recommend a pilot assembly at the actual torque and mating part before locking the process parameters for volume.
