Also known as screw-machine and stub-length bits, these provide maximum rigidity for drilling straighter holes than jobbers'- and maintenance-length drill bits.

The parabolic spiral flutes lift chips out of the hole, reducing clogging and improving coolant flow.

The short flutes on these jobbers'-length bits provide increased rigidity for drilling straighter holes.

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.

More wear resistant than cobalt steel and high-speed steel, 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.

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.

The SDS-Plus shank has two deep slots and two shallow slots for use with SDS-Plus-drive rotary hammers.

A more controlled chip removal reduces heat buildup. Use these bits on brittle materials such as block and brick.

Bore smooth-finish, flat bottom holes in soft wood, veneer, and laminates. Also known as Forstner bits.

The screw point draws the bit in, quickly boring holes without applying pressure.
