    Jobbers' Length

    Image of Specification. Standard. Front orientation. Contains Border. Standard Point. For Metal.

    Standard

    Cut large holes with drill presses and portable drills that have a standard-size chuck. The shank on these bits has a smaller diameter than the cutting tip. High-speed steel is good for general purpose drilling in most metals. Also known as Silver and Deming bits.
    Jobbers' Length—These bits have the balance of rigidity and length needed for most applications.
    Black Oxide—The dark finish increases wear resistance and reduces friction to improve chip flow, so these bits can last 50% longer than uncoated bits.

    Jobbers' Length

    Split

    More wear resistant than high-speed steel, these bits cut large holes with tools that have a standard-size chuck. The shank has a smaller diameter than the cutting tip and fits drill presses and portable drills. Cobalt steel bits last at least twice as long as high-speed steel. They can also run up to 25% faster at higher temperatures without being damaged on hard materials such as nickel. Also known as Silver and Deming bits.
    Jobbers' Length—These bits have the balance of rigidity and length needed for most applications.
    Uncoated—Polished to eject chips, these are also known as bright finish bits.
