8.6mm 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.

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

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.

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

Chip-Clearing High-Speed Steel Drill Bits

Jobbers' Length

Parabolic Flute

Round Shank

Split

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.

Parabolic Flute—A U-shaped groove on the flutes cuts faster and clears chips more quickly than high-helix bits, so these are better for drilling deeper holes.

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.
