60mm Long Drill Bits | McMaster-Carr

Gold Oxide—Like black oxide, this finish adds wear resistance and reduces friction for improved chip flow. Because it’s less prone to flaking off, it offers better rust protection when bits aren't in use.

Uncoated—The most economical option, uncoated bits perform best when used on low-carbon steel and aluminum. Polished to reduce friction, they're also known as bright finish bits.

Left-Hand Cobalt Steel Drill Bits


Jobbers' Length Round Shank	Split

The flutes spiral in the opposite direction of other bits and stay sharp longer than high-speed steel. They’re primarily used to remove stripped screws. Choose a bit that’s slightly smaller than the diameter of the screw’s head. Set your power tool to rotate in reverse. Slowly drill in the center of the screw head, maintaining constant pressure. As the bit penetrates, it will catch onto the screw and reverse it out of the hole. If the screw is badly stripped, you might need to punch a starter hole. Also known as reverse-flute bits.

Jobbers' Length—These bits have the balance of rigidity and length needed for most applications.

Uncoated—Polished to eject chips, these are also known as bright finish bits.

Carbide-Tipped Drill Bits

Short Length

Round Shank

Standard

Performance similar to solid carbide but at a lower price point. Like carbide bits, these are stronger than cobalt and high-speed steel and maintain their sharp edges when drilling abrasive material. However, when drilling tough metals like iron and hardened steel, upgrade to carbide for longer life.

Short Length—The most rigid bits for drilling the straightest holes.

Chip-Clearing Cobalt Steel Drill Bits

Parabolic Flute

Round Shank

Split

Avoid clogs and dissipate heat with cobalt bits that last at least twice as long as high-speed steel. The flutes clear chips to improve coolant flow and prevent damage to the bit and the hole. They also speed up drilling since you don't have to stop to clear the bit manually.

Hole-Starting Cobalt Steel Drill Bits


120° Point Angle	Standard

Create an accurate starting place in your workpiece. Cut an indent with these bits, then continue drilling with a longer bit. The indent prevents slipping so the final hole is centered and precise. Cobalt steel resists wear to stay sharp when cutting hard materials, such as nickel. Also known as spotting drill bits.

Short Length—The most rigid bits for drilling the straightest holes.

Uncoated—Polished to eject chips, these are also known as bright finish bits.
