Carbide Drill Bits
These jobbers'-length bits have the rigidity and length required for most applications. 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. The four-facet point keeps the bit centered without a pilot hole. These bits require rigid toolholding to prevent breakage and should not be used in hand-held drilling applications.

Carbide Drill Bits for Hardened Steel
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.

Drill Bits for Aluminum, Brass, and Bronze
Because softer metal, like aluminum, brass, and bronze, can clog a bit, the flutes on these bits lift chips out of the hole. Also known as slow-spiral drill bits. They are jobbers' length and have the rigidity and length required for most applications.

High-Speed Steel Left-Hand Drill Bits
Also known as reverse-flute bits, the flutes spiral in the opposite direction of other bits. Use in counterclockwise drilling applications such as removing broken screws. These bits are jobbers' length and have the rigidity and length required for most applications.
