    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.
    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.

    Drill multiple hole sizes using only one bit. These have steps with progressively larger diameters—the deeper they drill, the bigger the hole. Count the steps as you drill to achieve the proper size. These bits also deburr as they cut, so they're good for thin materials like sheet metal and plastic panels. Wear and heat resistant, high-speed steel is versatile for use on a range of materials.

    Maintenance Length

    Round Shank

    The hardest and most wear-resistant bits, these deliver coolant to reduce heat and evacuate chips. They are designed for CNC machines that supply coolant through the spindle rather than an external source, such as a hose and nozzle. Coolant flows directly from holes in the bit's tip onto the drilling surface. This speeds up cuts and leads to excellent performance in deep holes and tough materials such as stainless steel and titanium.
    Maintenance Length—Shorter than jobbers' length, these bits are more rigid for less wobble when drilling hard material. Also known as mechanics’ bits.
    Titanium Aluminum Nitride (TiAlN) Coated—No drill bits last longer. These are the best for high-speed, high-temperature drilling of very hard and abrasive materials, including titanium and fiberglass.

    Jobbers' Length

    Round Shank

    The hardest and most wear-resistant drill bits you can buy. Carbide bits stay sharp at high temperatures and faster speeds for the best performance on hard and difficult-to-machine materials. They last 10 to 20 times longer than their closest alternative, cobalt steel. Carbide can be brittle, however, so these bits require a rigid machine tool holder to prevent breakage and should not be used in hand drilling applications.
    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 bits, especially on materials like hardened steel, iron, and stainless steel.
    Uncoated—Excellent for a range of materials but won't last as long as coated bits.

    For longer tool life and a better finish in general purpose milling applications, these solid carbide end mills are harder, stronger, and more wear resistant than high-speed steel and cobalt steel end mills. Their extreme hardness means they are brittle, so a highly rigid setup, such as a CNC machine, is necessary to prevent the end mill from breaking. They have a square end for milling square slots, pockets, and edges.
    End mills with fewer flutes provide better chip clearance for high-volume, high-speed plunge, slotting, and roughing cuts; end mills with more flutes provide a finer finish and operate with less vibration when run at high speeds.
    Uncoated Carbide—Use uncoated end mills for general purpose milling and short production runs. They stay sharper than coated end mills when used on soft materials like aluminum, leaving a better finish.
    Titanium Nitride (TiN)-Coated Carbide—Titanium nitride (TiN)-coated end mills create less friction than uncoated end mills, which means they last longer when run at similar speeds. Use coated end mills for demanding, high-speed jobs in hard material as well as for longer production runs. They’re more wear resistant than uncoated end mills.
    Titanium Carbon Nitride (TiCN)-Coated Carbide—Titanium carbon nitride (TiCN)-coated end mills have a hard, smooth finish that resists chipping and wear and prevents material from accumulating on the cutting edge. They’re especially good for use in aluminum. Use coated end mills for demanding, high-speed jobs in hard material as well as for longer production runs. They’re more wear resistant than uncoated end mills.
    Titanium Aluminum Nitride (TiAlN)-Coated Carbide—Titanium aluminum nitride (TiAlN)-coated end mills dissipate heat better than other end mills, especially at high speeds. At high temperatures, the coating creates a layer of aluminum oxide that transfers heat to the chips, keeping the tool cool, even when used without lubrication. Use coated end mills for demanding, high-speed jobs in hard material as well as for longer production runs. They’re more wear resistant than uncoated end mills.
    Center Cutting—Center-cutting end mills allow plunge cuts into a surface.

    Cobalt Steel Square End Mills with Two Milling Ends

    Image of Product. Front orientation. End Mills. Cobalt Steel Square End Mills with Two Milling Ends, 4 Flutes.

    4 Flutes

    When one end wears out, switch to the opposite end for two times the life of a standard cobalt steel end mill. With better heat and wear resistance than high-speed steel, these cobalt steel end mills can run at higher speeds and provide better performance on hard material, such as iron, hardened steel, titanium, and tool steel. Their square ends make them good for milling square slots, pockets, and edges. All are center cutting, allowing plunge cuts into a surface.
    4 Flutes—End mills with four flutes provide a finer finish and operate with less vibration when run at high speeds.

    Variable spacing between the flutes reduces vibration, allowing these end mills to provide fast cuts, smooth finishes, and long tool life on hard materials. Also known as barrel cutters, these end mills create the smooth finish of a ball end mill, but with a tapered cutting surface that removes more material with each pass. They're ideal for 5-axis machining where you need to cut from many angles. Plus, compared to ball end mills, they move farther between overlapping passes (stepover), which decreases machining time and tool wear, so they’ll last longer. All are center cutting, allowing plunge cuts into a surface.
    Made of solid carbide, these end mills are harder, stronger, and more wear resistant than high-speed steel and cobalt steel for the longest life and best finish on hard material. Their extreme hardness means they are brittle, so a highly rigid setup, such as a CNC machine, is necessary to prevent the end mill from breaking. A titanium aluminum silicon nitride (TiAlSiN) coating makes them extremely resistant to wear and diffusion because they have especially high hardness, even at high temperatures.
    End mills with fewer flutes provide better chip clearance for high-volume, high-speed plunge, slotting, and roughing cuts; end mills with more flutes provide a finer finish and operate with less vibration when run at high speeds.

    A titanium diboride (TiB2) coating reduces friction when working with nonferrous metals, so you can use these end mills to cut soft metals like aluminum, brass, and bronze. Variable spacing between the flutes reduces vibration, allowing these end mills to provide fast cuts, smooth finishes, and long tool life. Also known as barrel cutters, these end mills create the smooth finish of a ball end mill, but with a tapered cutting surface that removes more material with each pass.

    Serrations along the cutting edge act as chip breakers, so these end mills can remove large amounts of material at high speeds. Made of solid carbide, they are harder, stronger, and more wear resistant than high-speed steel and cobalt steel for the longest life and best finish on hard material. Their extreme hardness means they are brittle, so a highly rigid setup, such as a CNC machine, is necessary to prevent the end mill from breaking. They have a square end for milling square slots, pockets, and edges. All are center cutting, allowing plunge cuts into a surface.
    Titanium Nitride (TiN)-Coated Carbide—Titanium nitride (TiN)-coated end mills have good wear resistance.
    Titanium Aluminum Nitride (TiAlN)-Coated Carbide—Titanium aluminum nitride (TiAlN)-coated end mills dissipate heat better than other end mills, especially at high speeds. At high temperatures, the coating creates a layer of aluminum oxide that transfers heat to the chips, keeping the tool cool, even when used without lubrication.

    For longer tool life and a better finish in general purpose milling applications, these solid carbide end mills are harder, stronger, and more wear resistant than high-speed steel and cobalt steel end mills. Their extreme hardness means they are brittle, so a highly rigid setup, such as a CNC machine, is necessary to prevent the end mill from breaking. They have a ball end for milling rounded slots, slopes, and contours. All are center cutting, allowing plunge cuts into a surface.
    End mills with fewer flutes provide better chip clearance for high-volume, high-speed plunge, slotting, and roughing cuts; end mills with more flutes provide a finer finish and operate with less vibration when run at high speeds.

    When one end wears out, switch to the opposite end for two times the life of a standard carbide end mill. Made of solid carbide, these end mills are harder, stronger, and more wear resistant than high-speed steel and cobalt steel for the longest life and best finish on hard material. Their extreme hardness means they are brittle, so a highly rigid setup, such as a CNC machine, is necessary to prevent the end mill from breaking. They have scooped corners for rounding the sharp edges of your workpiece.
    Uncoated Carbide—Use uncoated end mills for general purpose milling and short production runs. They stay sharper than coated end mills when used on soft materials like aluminum, leaving a better finish.
    Titanium Nitride (TiN)-Coated Carbide—Titanium nitride (TiN)-coated end mills create less friction than uncoated end mills, which means they last longer when run at similar speeds. Use coated end mills for demanding, high-speed jobs in hard material as well as for longer production runs. The coating reduces friction and vibration as they’re used, making them more wear resistant than uncoated end mills.
    Titanium Carbon Nitride (TiCN)-Coated Carbide—Titanium carbon nitride (TiCN)-coated end mills have a hard, smooth finish that resists chipping and wear and prevents material from accumulating on the cutting edge. They’re especially good for use in aluminum. Use coated end mills for demanding, high-speed jobs in hard material as well as for longer production runs. The coating reduces friction and vibration as they’re used, making them more wear resistant than uncoated end mills.
    Aluminum Titanium Nitride (AlTiN)-Coated Carbide— Aluminum titanium nitride (AlTiN)-coated end mills dissipate heat better than other end mills, especially at high speeds. At high temperatures, the coating creates a layer of aluminum oxide that transfers heat to the chips, keeping the tool cool, even when used without lubrication. This makes these good for aggressive machining while roughing or making interrupted cuts. Use coated end mills for demanding, high-speed jobs in hard material as well as for longer production runs. The coating reduces friction and vibration as they’re used, making them more wear resistant than uncoated end mills.
