Drill Type
|
|
|
| |
Your choices are...
|
|
|
| |
Standard / Twist Drill
|
|
Most common drill type, with end-cutting edges and flutes for chip evacuation. Standard sizes include all common English and metric sizes, wire gauge and number / letter designations.
|
| |
Jobber Length Drill
|
|
Common industrial drill configuration, with somewhat longer flutes and overall length than standard twist drills.
|
| |
Taper Length Drill
|
|
Somewhat longer flutes than a jobber drill; suitable for general industrial use. Other terms for these length drills include long jobbers and long series drills.
|
| |
Extension / Extra Length
|
|
Extra cutting flute length for deeper hole capability.
|
| |
Screw Machine Drill
|
|
Shorter flute and overall length than standard drills for increased rigidity.
|
| |
Spotting Drill
|
|
Used for initiating a drilled hole; features such as a chisel point prevent walking. Often used to create a drill center for a longer drill such as a jobber or extension drill.
|
| |
Center Drill
|
|
Short, rigid drill used for the creation of a flared hole used as a center for turning or other subsequent operations; frequently can include a combined countersink.
|
| |
Microdrill
|
|
Very small diameter drills, approximately in the range 0.002" to 0.020". Microdrills often have shank diameters larger than the drill diameter for chucking rigidity.
|
| |
Gundrill
|
|
Specialized drill for producing deep holes; typically incorporates coolant channels for smooth cutting and good surface finish.
|
| |
Core Drill
|
|
Drill designed to capture a core of the material being drilled; cutting edges are peripheral, and the core is capture inside the cutting circle. In machining operations, core drill can also refer to a three- or four-flute drill used as a hole-finishing cutter.
|
| |
Spade Drill
|
|
End-cutting drill with a flat or square end, often configured as a holder with one or more inserts. Spade drill may be used for deep holes in horizontal cutting; not as efficient for chip removal as some other drills in vertical drilling.
|
| |
Step Drill
|
|
Drill with incrementally increasing diameter steps.
|
| |
Silver & Deming Drill
|
|
Silver and deming drills are general purpose drills with a reduced shank to fit into a standard chuck, typically 1/2". Often used for portable drills with standard chuck capacities. All S&D drills are 6" long with a 3" flute length. Alternate terms are blacksmith drills or prentice drills.
|
| |
Forstner Drill Bit
|
|
Drill bit primarily used in woodworking to create a flat-bottomed hole. Its guidance by "spurs" on its periphery allows for cutting at high angles to the workpiece surface.
|
| |
Taper Drill
|
|
Drill with tapered sides, which cuts a larger hole the deeper the drill is fed. Used for industrial drilling in sheet materials. "Taper drill" can also refer to specialized drills for rotary hammers used in rock drilling; these have standardized taper shanks rather than tapered cutting edges.
|
| |
High Helix Drill
|
|
Drill whose flutes have a higher helical flute angle than standard drill series.
|
| |
Masonry Drill Bit
|
|
Drill bit used for cutting holes in materials such as concrete, mortar, bricks, and soft stone. Usually has a chisel-type tip for high rigidity at the cutting tip.
|
| |
Surgical / Dental Drill
|
|
Specialized drill for surgical or dental applications.
|
| |
Hole Saw
|
|
Drill with a circular cutting profile; exterior circle is cut out, and inner material is removed. Often has a centering drill for hole placement.
|
| |
Wood Bit
|
|
Drill specifically designed for drilling wood.
|
| |
Combination Drill / Countersink
|
|
Drill with an angled shoulder to provide a clearance hole and countersink in one cutting operation; used for flat head screw holes.
|
| |
Combination Drill / Counterbore
|
|
Drill with a square cutting shoulder to provide a clearance hole and counterbore in one cutting operation; used for applications such as socket head cap screw holes.
|
| |
Combination Drill / Tap
|
|
Combination of a pilot drill and cutting tap on one drill bit. Threaded hole is cut in one operation.
|
| |
Drill Blank
|
|
Blank for grinding standard or specialized cutting edges and flute geometry.
|
| |
Other
|
|
Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary drill bit type.
