Double ended rivet drills are commonly used to drill holes for rivets in metalwork, including HSS. When using a double ended rivet drill in HSS with a diameter of 1/8" or 3.15mm, there are a few key considerations to keep in mind.

First, it's important to use the proper cutting speed and feed rate to prevent overheating and premature tool wear. The cutting speed should be set based on the hardness of the material being drilled and the diameter of the drill bit, and the feed rate should be set to ensure a smooth, steady cut without applying excessive force.

Second, it's important to ensure that the drill bit is properly centred and aligned with the hole to be drilled. This can be done using a centre punch to mark the centre point of the hole, and then using a drill press or other drilling machine to guide the drill bit precisely into place.

Finally, it's important to use a lubricant when drilling in HSS to reduce friction and heat build-up. A good quality cutting oil or lubricating spray can help to prolong the life of the drill bit and improve the quality of the drilled hole.

Overall, double ended rivet drills can be an effective tool for drilling holes in HSS, but they require careful attention to detail and proper usage to achieve the best results.
