Short-Flute Extended-Length Cobalt Steel Drill Bits

The short flutes provide increased rigidity for drilling straighter holes and the long length lets you access hard-to-reach spots. With better heat and wear resistance than high-speed steel, these cobalt steel bits can run up to 25% faster and have a longer tool life. A split point keeps the bit centered without a pilot hole.

Chip-Clearing Cobalt Steel Drill Bits

The parabolic spiral flutes lift chips out of the hole, reducing clogging and improving coolant flow. With better heat and wear resistance than high-speed steel, these cobalt steel bits can run up to 25% faster and have a longer tool life. All are jobbers’ length so they have the rigidity and length required for most applications. A split point keeps the bit centered without a pilot hole.

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.
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.

Drill Bits for Plastic

The sharp point allows for gradual penetration to reduce friction and eliminate cracking and chipping when drilling in plastic. These bits are jobbers' length and have the rigidity and length required for most applications.

Drill Bits for Aluminum, Brass, and Bronze

Because softer metal, like aluminum, brass, and bronze, can clog a bit, the flutes on these bits lift chips out of the hole. Also known as slow-spiral drill bits. They are jobbers' length and have the rigidity and length required for most applications.

High-Speed Steel Left-Hand Drill Bits

Also known as reverse-flute bits, the flutes spiral in the opposite direction of other bits. Use in counterclockwise drilling applications such as removing broken screws. These bits are jobbers' length and have the rigidity and length required for most applications.
