Chip-Clearing Drill Bits



These jobbers'-length bits have the rigidity and length required for most applications. The flutes are designed to lift chips out of the hole, reducing clogging and improving coolant flow.
Parabolic spiral flute drill bits have wider flutes for more efficient chip evacuation than spiral-flute bits.
Black-oxide drill bits produce less friction than uncoated drill bits.
Titanium-nitride (TiN) coated drill bits last longer and can drill at higher speeds than uncoated and black-oxide drill bits.
Drill bits with a split point keep centered without a pilot hole.

Short-Flute Cobalt Steel Drill Bits

The short flutes on these jobbers'-length bits provide increased rigidity for drilling straighter holes. Made of cobalt steel, which has better heat and wear resistance than high-speed steel, they can run up to 25% faster and have a longer tool life. A split point keeps the bit centered without a pilot hole.

Short-Length Carbide-Tipped Drill Bits

Also known as screw-machine and stub-length bits, these provide maximum rigidity for drilling straighter holes than standard-length drill bits. Made of carbide-tipped steel, which has better wear resistance than high-speed steel and cobalt steel, they maintain a sharper, harder edge at high temperatures for excellent performance on abrasive material, such as plastic. Because they aren’t as brittle as solid carbide bits, they can be used in less rigid setups, such as a hand-held drill.
Drill bits with a split point keep centered without a pilot hole.
Drill bits with 135° point angle produce smaller chips than 118° point to prevent clogging.

Hex-Shank Drill Bits


Insert these bits directly into power screwdrivers, impact drivers, and other tools that accept 1/4" hex shanks. A split point keeps the bit centered without a pilot hole.
Titanium-nitride (TiN) coated drill bits last longer and can drill at higher speeds than black-oxide drill bits.
