Drill Bits




These jobbers'-length bits have the rigidity and length required for most applications.
Black-oxide and black-and-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 Drill Bits

These jobbers'-length bits have the rigidity and length required for most applications. The flutes are designed to lift chips out of the hole, reducing clogging and improving coolant flow.
Parabolic spiral flute drill bits have wider flutes for more efficient chip evacuation than spiral-flute bits.
Drill bits with a split point keep centered without a pilot hole.

Cobalt Steel Drill Bits

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.

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.

Easy-to-Install Thread-Locking Inserts with Installation Tools

A closed-end tap, drill bit, and installation bit are included with these inserts. Also known as E-Z Lok, they use Loctite® adhesive to keep them in place. The adhesive reaches full strength after 72 hours. A black-phosphate finish provides mild corrosion resistance.
Choose inserts with a thick wall for greater strength than thin-wall inserts, or to fill a large hole.
