2.6mm Shank Size Drill Bits

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.

Cobalt Steel Drill Bits


Jobbers' Length Round Shank	Short Length Round Shank	Split

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.

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

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.

Titanium Aluminum Nitride (TiAlN) Coated—The hardest and most wear-resistant coating, especially at high temperatures. These bits are best for hard and abrasive materials, such as iron, titanium, and fiberglass.

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

Chip-Clearing Cobalt Steel Drill Bits

Parabolic Flute

Round Shank

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.

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.
