    Our basic drill bit material is also the most versatile. These jobbers' bits have the balance of rigidity and length needed for most applications.
    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.
    Morse Taper Shank—Insert directly into the tapered spindle on machines such as drill presses and lathes.
    Standard Point—Good for general purpose drilling. You’ll need to make a pilot hole to center the bit.

    Our shortest high-speed steel bits, these are the most rigid for drilling the straightest holes. They're also good for tight spaces where longer bits can't fit. Also known as screw-machine and stub-length bits.
    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.
    Round Shank—The most common shank type. These fit in the chuck of drill presses and portable drills.

    Morse Taper Shank

    Image of Specification. Split. Front orientation. Contains Border. Split Point. For Metal.

    Split

    The toughness and wear resistance of cobalt steel in a length that's rigid enough for most applications. Cobalt lasts at least twice as long as high-speed steel. It can also run up to 25% faster at higher temperatures without damaging the bit on hard materials such as nickel.
    Titanium Nitride (TiN) Coated—Drill at higher speeds and last longer than uncoated bits, especially on tough materials like hardened steel and nickel.
    Uncoated—Polished to eject chips, these are also known as bright finish bits.
    Morse Taper Shank—Insert directly into the tapered spindle on machines such as drill presses and lathes.
    Split Point—Starts cutting on contact so you don’t need a pilot hole. The point also keeps the bit centered for straight and accurate holes, even with a portable drill.

    Standard

    Drill through walls and thick workpieces and make deep holes with bits that offer the performance of solid carbide but at a lower price point. Like carbide bits, these are stronger than cobalt and high-speed steel to maintain their sharp edges when drilling abrasive material. However, when drilling tough metals like cast iron and hardened steel, upgrade to carbide for longer life. Because of their length, these aren't as rigid as other bits and more prone to wobbling.
    Round Shank—The most common shank type. These fit in the chuck of drill presses and portable drills.

    Carbide-Insert Drill Bits

    When you need to drill dozens or even hundreds of holes, use a bit with replaceable carbide inserts. Once the cutting edges wear down, just change the inserts instead of sharpening or throwing the bit away. The holes in the bit channel coolant through the tool for more efficient chip evacuation. Each drill bit requires two inserts—one on the inner cutting edge and one on the outer cutting edge. Replacement inserts are sold separately.

    Reduced-Shank Drill Bits

    Cut large holes with drill presses and portable drills that have a standard-size chuck. The shank on these bits has a smaller diameter than the cutting tip. Also known as Silver and Deming bits.

    Step Drill Bits

    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.

    Drill Bits for Masonry and Concrete

    Crush rather than cut material so bits don’t jam or overheat while drilling masonry and concrete. The ultra-hard carbide tip breaks masonry into pieces and the widely spaced flutes channel them out of the hole. These bits stay sharp, resisting wear and heat that will dull or break other bits.

    SDS-Plus

    Shank

    The slotted shank fits SDS-Plus-drive rotary hammers, which rotate and hammer bits simultaneously to penetrate material. Also known as percussion or impact bits.
    Standard Point—The most common point type handles most jobs. However, for more aggressive cutting that generates a lot of heat, consider a multipoint or serrated bit.
    Multipoint—Five points on the tip extend the life and reduce vibration for drilling smoother, rounder holes than standard-point masonry drill bits.

    Chip-Clearing Drill Bits for Masonry and Concrete

    Prevent frequent stops to clear bits and reduce heat buildup that can damage them. The tight spiral flutes lift dust and debris out of the hole more quickly than standard masonry bits. These bits are especially effective for brittle material that creates a lot of debris, such as block and brick. The carbide tip resists wear to stay sharp.

    Dust-Collecting Drill Bits for Masonry and Concrete

    Connect these hollow bits to a vacuum system, and they'll suck up dust while drilling. Use them to meet OSHA standards for silica dust exposure when drilling in concrete, brick, and other powdery masonry material. These bits are especially useful for cutting holes for adhesive anchors—you don't need to clean out the hole before installing. They have a titanium nitride (TiN)-coated carbide tip that resists wear and heat to stay sharp.

    Prevent clogs that wear the bit and slow down drilling when it gets jammed. The flutes on these bits have an open design that pulls chips out of the hole faster than standard spiral flutes. Also known as pole or ship auger bits, they are used to cut deep holes through lumber, railroad ties, and utility poles.
