Short-Length Drill Bits

Black Oxide

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

Black-oxide drill bits produce less friction than uncoated drill bits.

Drill bits with a split point keep centered without a pilot hole.

Cobalt Steel Drill Bits

Titanium Nitride (TiN) Coated

Gold Oxide

These jobbers'-length bits have the rigidity and length required for most applications. Made of cobalt steel, which has better heat and wear resistance than high-speed steel, they can run up to 25% faster and have a longer tool life.

Titanium-nitride (TiN) coated drill bits last longer and can drill at higher speeds than uncoated drill bits.

Gold-oxide drill bits produce less friction than uncoated drill bits.

Drill bits with a split point keep centered without a pilot hole.

Chip-Clearing Cobalt Steel Drill Bits

Uncoated

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.

Hex Shank Combination Drill Bits/Taps for Drills and Screwdrivers

With a drill bit point to drive into the workpiece, these taps can drill and tap holes in a single step. A 1/4" hex shank connects them directly to tools such as drills and power screwdrivers. They're made of high-speed steel and are for use on most metal and plastic.

Their spiral flutes keep chips clear by drawing them back toward the tap and out of the hole. All have a plug chamfer with 3-5 chamfered cutting threads, so they're suitable for start-to-finish tapping.

Uncoated taps are strong enough for most tapping jobs but have the shortest tool life.

Hardened Undersized High-Speed M2 Tool Steel Rods

Yield Strength: Not Rated
Hardness: Rockwell C60 (Very Hard)

These rods, also known as drill blanks, have an undersized diameter for machining your own jobbers'-length drill bits. They're hardened for increased abrasion and impact resistance. M2 tool steel offers a nice balance of wear resistance and machinability. It has a high molybdenum content, which allows it to maintain sharp cutting edges even at elevated temperatures.
