    High-Speed Steel Drill Bits

    Our basic drill bits are also the most versatile. Cut holes in a variety of metals, from the softest aluminum to the hardest steel.
    Jobbers' Length—These bits have the balance of rigidity and length needed for most applications.
    Short Length—The most rigid bits for drilling the straightest holes.
    Black Oxide—The dark finish increases wear resistance and reduces friction to improve chip flow, so these bits can last 50% longer than uncoated bits.
    Titanium Nitride (TiN) Coated—Drill at higher speeds and last longer than uncoated and oxide-coated bits, especially on tough materials like hardened steel and nickel.
    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.

    Tough and wear resistant, cobalt steel bits last at least twice as long as high-speed steel. They can also run up to 25% faster at higher temperatures without being damaged on hard materials, such as nickel.
    Jobbers' Length—These bits have the balance of rigidity and length needed for most applications.
    Titanium Nitride (TiN) Coated—Drill at higher speeds and last longer than uncoated and oxide-coated bits, especially on tough materials like hardened steel and nickel.

    Drill-Bit Countersinks for Wood and Plastic

    These countersinks attach at various points along the drill bit, so one tool will drill countersunk holes for screws of different lengths. They're designed to cut a smooth and even finish in wood and plastic on the first pass.

    The choice if you're countersinking lots of holes, these wear-resistant countersinks cut faster and last longer than carbon steel.
    Manufacturer—We source from trusted manufacturers who vet raw materials for purity and use diamond grinding wheels to machine precise edges. This keeps cutting surfaces smooth and free of microscopic burrs. Because our suppliers clean their wheels more often than other manufacturers, each countersink is consistently ground to create uniform holes every time.

    With flutes that lift chips out of the hole, you don't have to stop drilling to clear these bits manually. They improve coolant flow to dissipate heat and prevent clogs that can damage the bit and ruin the hole. High-speed steel is good for general purpose drilling in most metals.
    High Helix Flute—Less aggressive than parabolic flutes for cleaner cuts in soft metals.
    Jobbers' Length—These bits have the balance of rigidity and length needed for most applications.
    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.
