Short-Length Drill Bits

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.

Smooth-Finish Carbide Drill Bits

Three cutting edges instead of the typical two enable these bits to drill holes with a smoother finish than other bits. Made of solid carbide for the highest accuracy and longest tool life, they 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. A split point keeps the bit centered without a pilot hole.
