Over 48,000 metals now include traceable material certificates.

Holes in these bits allow coolant to be run through the tool for more efficient chip evacuation. Use them in CNC machines with coolant-through technology. Made of solid carbide for the highest accuracy and longest tool life, they are harder, stronger, and more wear resistant than high-speed steel, cobalt steel, and carbide-tipped bits. They retain a sharp, hard edge at high temperatures for the best performance on hard and abrasive material. A titanium aluminum nitride (TiAlN) coating gives them additional wear and temperature resistance. The four-facet point keeps the bit centered without a pilot hole. These bits require rigid toolholding to prevent breakage and should not be used in hand-held drilling applications.

Maintenance-length drill bits are shorter and more rigid than jobbers'-length bits but longer than short-length bits. They hold up better than jobbers' bits when drilling in hard metal. Also known as mechanics' bits.
