Chip-Clearing Cobalt Steel Drill Bits
The parabolic spiral flutes lift chips out of the hole, reducing clogging and improving coolant flow. With better heat and wear resistance than high-speed steel, these cobalt steel bits can run up to 25% faster and have a longer tool life. All are jobbers’ length so they have the rigidity and length required for most applications. A split point keeps the bit centered without a pilot hole.

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.

Smooth-Finish Carbide Drill Bits
Three cutting edges instead of the typical two enable these bits to drill holes with a smoother finish than other bits. 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.

Short-Flute Extended-Length Carbide-Tipped Drill Bits
The short flutes provide increased rigidity for drilling straighter holes and the long length lets you access hard-to-reach spots. More wear resistant than cobalt steel and high-speed steel, these carbide-tipped bits maintain a sharper, harder edge at high temperatures for excellent performance on abrasive material, such as plastic. Because they aren’t as brittle as solid carbide bits, they can be used in less rigid setups, such as a hand-held drill. A split point keeps the bit centered without a pilot hole.

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 Carbon Fiber, Fiberglass, and Graphite
These jobbers'-length bits have the rigidity and length required for most applications. They are designed to make clean holes in abrasive material. Their point keeps the bit centered without a pilot hole.
Uncoated drill bits have three drill points that make clean holes in fiber-reinforced composites without fraying or delaminating the material.
