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.
Tungsten Carbide Tipped Hex Shank Ceramic Tile Drill Set
These Rotary Only ceramic tile drills provide outstanding performance and extended tool life in hard ceramic materials.
They feature a unique cutting edge geometry in conjunction with high temperature brazing to ensure reliable and accurate drilling in multiple hole applications.
Use of water cooling will extend bit life.
Although these drill bits are not recommended for drilling vitrified porcelain, their superior multi-facet tungsten carbide tip enables them to drill most materials of this type, albeit with a reduced tool life.
Specifically engineered for use in impact drivers these bits are also fully compatible with conventional rotary drills.
1/4″ hex shank facilitates fast tool loading in cordless impact drivers and quick change adaptors.
