Harder, stronger, and more wear resistant than carbide-tipped steel, solid-carbide bits maintain their sharp edges longer. They require rigid toolholding to prevent breakage and should not be used in hand-held drilling applications. The straight flutes withstand the heavy pressure necessary to penetrate hard steel. A four-facet or split point keeps the bit centered without a pilot hole. These bits are short length, also known as screw machine or stub length, which provides maximum rigidity for drilling straighter holes than jobbers'-length drill bits.

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

Also known as screw-machine and stub-length bits, these provide maximum rigidity for drilling straighter holes than jobbers’-length drill bits. A diamond coating gives them the sharpness and wear resistance for drilling clean holes in abrasive material. The split point keeps the bit centered without a pilot hole.

When one end becomes worn, reverse the bit to use the other end. These bits have short flutes and a sturdy construction which prevent snagging that deforms sheet metal and thin-wall tubing. They can be used in both hand-held drilling and machine-tool applications. The split point keeps the bit centered without a pilot hole.
