    Split

    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.
    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.
