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.

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.

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.

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.

High-Speed Steel Extended Length

Spiral Flute

Round Shank

Standard

Drill through walls and thick workpieces with our longest high-speed steel bits. Their length is good for creating deep holes but makes them less rigid than other bits. As a result, they are more prone to wobbling or breaking, especially when drilling hard materials.

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.

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.

Cobalt Steel Jobbers' Length


Round Shank	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.

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.

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.

Cobalt Steel Short Length

Round Shank

Split

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.

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.

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

Carbide Jobbers' Length

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 Nitride (TiN) Coated—Drill at higher speeds and last longer than uncoated bits, especially on materials like hardened steel, iron, and stainless steel.

Uncoated—Excellent for a range of metals, they perform best when used on steel, aluminum, brass, and bronze.

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.

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.

High-Speed Steel Jobbers' Length


Parabolic Flute	High Helix Flute	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.

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.

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.

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.

High Helix Flute—Less aggressive than parabolic flutes for cleaner cuts in soft metals.

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 Short Length

Straght Flute

Split

Our shortest and most rigid bits are also the hardest and most wear resistant. They stay sharp at high temperatures and faster speeds for the straightest holes in hard and difficult-to-machine materials. Used in manufacturing and CNC drilling, 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.

Uncoated—Excellent for a range of metals, they perform best when used on steel, aluminum, brass, and bronze.

Straight Flute—Withstand heavy pressure without slipping when drilling hardened steel and other tough materials.

Round Shank—The most common shank type fits in a drill press chuck.

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.

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.

Drill Bits for Carbon Fiber, Fiberglass, and Graphite

Cut clean holes in abrasive material without fraying or delaminating the surface. Made of carbide, these bits resist wear to retain a sharp edge, even after after hundreds of cuts.

Carbide Jobbers' Length

Diamond Coated—With the hardest finish, these bits have the longest life.

Brad Point—The sharp center point starts the hole and keeps the bit centered as you drill. Two cutting edges make clean holes, often for installing dowel pins and other hardware.
