    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.
    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.
    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 and titanium.
    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Split

    Shorter than jobbers' length, these basic high-speed steel bits are more rigid for less wobble when drilling hard material. They're slightly longer than short-length bits, so they can drill deeper holes. Also known as mechanics' 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.
    Round Shank—The most common shank type. These fit in the chuck of drill presses and portable drills.
    3-Flat Shank—Three flat sides on the shank prevent the bit from slipping in the chuck of a drill press or portable drill.
    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.

    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.

Like carbide bits, they are stronger than cobalt and high-speed steel and maintain their sharp edges when drilling abrasive material. However, when drilling tough metals like iron and hardened steel, upgrade to carbide for longer life.

    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.
    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.
    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.

    Short-Flute Drill Bits

    The rigidity of short-length bits without sacrificing reach. The shallow drilling depth makes these less likely to wobble than bits of the same length, so they stay centered and drill straighter.

    Drill through walls and thick workpieces with bits that offer the performance of solid carbide but at a lower price point. Like carbide, they 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.
    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.

    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.

    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.
    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.
    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.

    Precise-Cut Drill Bits

    Produce holes so precise that you don’t need to finish them with a reamer. The double-edged flutes keep these bits centered to drill straighter and smoother than other types, especially in hard metals like iron and titanium and composites such as fiberglass. Also known as double-margin drill bits.

    Smooth-Finish Drill Bits

    With more cutting edges than other drill bits, these cut continuously and consistently for a smoother finish. They also stay centered to produce holes that are straighter and more accurate. However, since there’s less space between the cutting edges, they don’t clear chips as quickly.

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

    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.
