Drill Bits
Cut holes in a variety of metals, from the softest aluminum to the hardest steel.
High-Speed Steel Jobbers' Length
Round Shank |
Standard |
Split |
Our basic drill bit material is also the most versatile. These jobbers' bits have the balance of rigidity and length needed for most applications.
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.
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.
Standard Point—Good for general purpose drilling. You’ll need to make a pilot hole to center the bit.
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.

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.
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.
Round Shank—The most common shank type. These fit in the chuck of drill presses and portable drills.

Chip-Clearing Drill Bits
With flutes that lift chips out of the hole, you don't have to stop drilling to clear these bits manually. The flutes improve coolant flow to dissipate heat and prevent clogs that can damage the bit and ruin the hole.
Cobalt Steel Jobbers' Length
Parabolic Flute |
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.
Uncoated—Polished to eject chips, these are also known as bright finish bits.
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 deep holes.
Round Shank—The most common shank type. These fit in the chuck of drill presses and portable drills.
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.
Drill Bits for Hardened Steel
Straight flutes withstand the heavy pressure needed to penetrate hardened steel. These bits cut more aggressively and resist stress better than spiral-flute bits.
Carbide-Tipped Steel Jobbers' Length
Straght Flute |
The performance of solid carbide but at a lower price point. These jobbers' bits have the balance of rigidity and length needed for most applications. Like carbide bits, they are extremely stronger and maintain their sharp edges when drilling abrasive material. But for the longest life, there is no beating carbide.
Round Shank—The most common shank type. These fit in the chuck of drill presses and portable drills.
Notched Point—The chisel-like point keeps the bit centered and clears chips.

Combine the toughness and wear resistance of cobalt steel with a short length for drilling the straightest holes. These last twice as long as high-speed steel and can run up to 25% faster at higher temperatures without damaging the bit on hard metals like nickel. Also known as screw-machine and stub-length bits, they fit in tight spaces where longer bits can't.
Uncoated—Polished to eject chips, these are also known as bright finish bits.
90° Point Angle—Chamfers holes that will be followed by a smaller drill bit size.
Round Shank—The most common shank type. These fit in the chuck of drill presses and portable drills.
Standard Point—Perform best in stationary tools, such as a drill press.

Coolant-Fed Drill Bits
Channel coolant through the holes to reduce heat and evacuate chips more efficiently than other bits. These are designed for CNC machines that supply coolant through the spindle rather than an external source, such as a hose and nozzle. Coolant flows directly from the bit's tip onto the drilling surface. This speeds up cuts and leads to excellent performance in deep holes and tough materials such as stainless steel and titanium.
Carbide Jobbers' Length
Spiral Flute Round Shank |
The hardest and most wear-resistant drill bits you can buy in a length that's rigid enough for most applications. These bits stay sharp at high temperatures and faster speeds for the best performance on hard and difficult-to-machine materials. They last 10 to 20 times longer than their closest alternative, cobalt steel. Carbide can be brittle, however, so these bits require a rigid machine tool holder to prevent breakage and should not be used in hand drilling applications.
Titanium Aluminum Nitride (TiAlN) Coated—No drill bits last longer. These are the best for high-speed, high-temperature drilling of very hard and abrasive materials, including titanium and fiberglass.
Round Shank—The most common shank type fits in a drill press chuck.
Four-Facet Point—The most accurate point style, it centers the bit without a pilot hole and keeps the bit stable while drilling hard metals.

Left-Hand Drill Bits
With flutes that spiral in the opposite direction of other bits, these are primarily used to remove stripped screws. Choose a bit that’s slightly smaller than the diameter of the screw’s head. Set your power tool to rotate in reverse. Slowly drill in the center of the screw head, maintaining constant pressure. As the bit penetrates, it will catch onto the screw and reverse it out of the hole. If the screw is badly stripped, you might need to punch a starter hole. Also known as reverse-flute bits.
