What kind of drill bits do you use?
High speed steel drill bits, known as HSS drill bits are ideal for everyday drilling into metal and plastic but will last longer if reserved for metalwork. The front edges will cut the material, whilst the spirals remove the debris from the hole. This type of coating increases the hardness so they tend to be harder wearing…
What does HSS stand for in drill bits?
HSS drill bits, an acronym for high speed steel drill bits are extremely hardwearing and particularly well designed for drilling into metal surfaces, as they are much more resistant to the heat generated from the fast speed operation. The front edges cut the material, whilst the spirals remove debris from the hole.
Do you need drill bit to drill tile?
Tile Drill Bits. A tile drill bit will easily drill into tiles while reducing the chance of cracks and chips, ensuring you can complete your jobs quickly and efficiently, giving you a professional finish.
Use these diamond-coated hollow bits for wet drilling of masonry, concrete, and rebar with a drilling rig. Adapt a bit for use on a drilling rig with a different thread size. Use these bits with handheld power drills, drill presses, and hammer drills.
Why do you drill long holes with drill bit?
Drill long, straight holes with these bits. Channels in the bit allows coolant to flow through the tool for more efficient chip evacuation. Also known as gun drills. These jobbers’ -length bits have the rigidity and length required for most applications.
Why do you need carbide tipped drill bits?
Carbide-tipped bits maintain their sharp edges when drilling hard material. They are for use in both hand-held drilling and machine-tool applications. These jobbers’ -length bits have the rigidity and length required for most applications.
Why are there three cutting edges in a drill bit?
Three cutting edges instead of the typical two enable these bits to drill holes with a smoother finish than other bits. Holes in these bits allow coolant to be run through the tool for more efficient chip evacuation. Use them in CNC machines with coolant-through technology.
