Drill Bits: Precision Made in America

What Are Drill Bits?

Drill bits are essential tools in any machine shop or tool crib.  They are designed for boring holes into various materials with precision and efficiency. Typically made from high-speed steel, cobalt steel, or carbide, these cylindrical cutting tools feature a pointed tip for cutting the material and flutes or grooves to remove the material being cut.  Drill bits come in a wide array of shapes and sizes, tailored to specific applications and materials, ranging from wood and plastic to metal.  Whether it's the classic twist drill bit for general-purpose drilling or high performance bits for maximum tool life and minimum production time, each type serves a unique purpose, offering versatility and reliability in countless construction, woodworking, and metalworking projects.
