BORDO Black Finish HSS Jobber Drill Fractional Set
Bordo Black Knight M2-HSS Twist Drills.
ANSI B94-11
118° Split Point (crankshaft point)
Split point is self centering and reduces the need for end thrust.
Friction at workpiece is reduced.
118° point angles are ideal for use in materials such as mild steel and cast iron.
The 118° point creates easily controlled chips which are wide and thin.
Black Finish Twist Drills (also called blue finish) achieve their distinctive colour by steam tempering, a thermal process resulting in a porous tool coating.
This surface helps to keep lubricant on the tool, particularly important on the cutting edges, thus reducing friction and cold welding. The result is increased tool life.
Black finish tools are generally recommended for ferrous applications where the oxide layer aids chip flow and heat dissipation.
Sutton Tools Blue Bullet jobber drills are a general purpose drill bit designed for machine and hand held drilling ferrous metals. The blue finish reduces chip build up on the cutting edge and is a better choice when drilling ferrous materials.
Sutton Tools Silver Bullet jobber drills are a general purpose drill bit designed for machine and hand held drilling in a wide range of ferrous & non-ferrous materials such as steel, aluminium, brass, wood & plastics.
