Chip-Clearing Carbide Drill Bits


The parabolic spiral flutes lift chips out of the hole, reducing clogging and improving coolant flow. For the highest accuracy and longest tool life, these solid-carbide bits 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. These bits require rigid toolholding to prevent breakage and should not be used in hand-held drilling. All are jobbers’ length so they have the rigidity and length required for most applications.
Titanium-nitride (TiN) coated drill bits last longer and can drill at higher speeds than uncoated drill bits.

Short-Flute Extended-Length Carbide-Tipped Drill Bits

The short flutes provide increased rigidity for drilling straighter holes and the long length lets you access hard-to-reach spots. More wear resistant than cobalt steel and high-speed steel, these carbide-tipped bits 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. A split point keeps the bit centered without a pilot hole.

1/4" Diameter Reduced-Shank Drill Bits

The shank has a smaller diameter than the tip, allowing you to drill large holes with machines that have small-capacity chucks.

Cobalt Steel Left-Hand Drill Bits



With better heat and wear resistance than high-speed steel, cobalt steel bits can run up to 25% faster and have a longer tool life. 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 maintenance length, also known as mechanics’ length. They are shorter and more rigid than jobbers’ bits but longer than short-length bits. The 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 uncoated drill bits.
Titanium-aluminum-nitride (TiAlN) coated drill bits are the most wear and temperature resistant for the longest life and highest drilling speeds.
