Carbide Drill Bits with Coolant Holes

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.
Jobbers'-length drill bits have the rigidity and length required for most applications.

Cobalt Steel Hex-Shank Drill Bits

In addition to resisting heat and wear better than high-speed steel drill bits, these can also run up to 25% faster and have a longer tool life. Insert them into power screwdrivers, impact drivers, and other tools that accept hex shanks. The flat surfaces on the hex shank allow tool chucks to grip these bits more securely than those with a round shank. A split point keeps the bits centered without a pilot hole.

Carbide-Tipped Drill Bits for Hardened Steel

The straight flutes and notched point withstand the heavy pressure necessary to penetrate hard steel. These carbide-tipped bits maintain their sharp edges when drilling abrasive material. Because they aren’t as brittle as solid carbide bits, they can be used in less rigid setups, such as a hand-held drill. They are jobbers' length and have the rigidity and length required for most hand-held drilling and machine tool applications.
