Bordo Wire Gauge Quick Silver M2-HSS Twist Drills.
118° Standard Chisel Point
Chisel point is ideal for general purpose drilling.
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.
Bright Finish Twist Drills have no surface treatment and are supplied in the as-ground condition.
These tools are suitable for general purpose use, particularly for non-ferrous applications.
Gauge size drill calculations are generally made utilising a reference book or table.
For example, to drill a hole which is 10 thou (thousandth of an inch = .001) bigger than a 1/8″ bolt, the user must first work out that 1/8″ is 125 thou, so the required hole size is 135 thou. Using a reference table establishes that you would need a number 29.
Number drill bit gauge sizes are analogous to, but different from, American wire gauge.
Number gauge is most commonly used from size 80 (the smallest) to size 1 (the largest) followed by letter gauge size A (the smallest) to size Z (the largest).
Number gauge is actually defined down to size 97, but these smallest sizes are very rarely used.

Bordo Metric Green Band HSS-Co TiN Coated Twist Drills for Carbon Steel.
DIN338
130° split point with two helical flutes with 33 degrees of helix angle.
The machinability of different carbon steels is as varied as their properties. Soft-tough construction steels place a unique set of demands on the tools.
The Green Band Series of drills and taps have been developed specifically for this range of steels.
For machining materials with Hardness < 250 HB : Tensile Strength <900 N/mm2.

Bordo Metric Red Band HSS-Co TiAlN Coated Twist Drills for Tough Treatable Steel.
DIN338
130° UX point with two helical parabolic flutes with 33 degrees of helix angle.
The mechanical properties of materials are influenced diversely by the addition of alloying elements and heat treatment processes, resulting in some high-strength, quenched and tempered steels or hardened steels.
This range has its own unique set of machining requirements which are satisfied by the Red Band – Tough Treatable Steel – Series.
TiAlN coating increases tool surface hardness to 87Rc.
For machining materials with Hardness < 470 HB : Tensile Strength <1500 N/mm2.

Bordo Metric Blue Band HSS-Co TiAlN Coated Twist Drills for Stainless Steel.
DIN338
Multi-faceted point with two helical flutes with 35 degrees of helix angle.
The machining of stainless steels is difficult due to its work hardening properties, toughness and poor thermal conductivity, which places high demands on the cutting tools.
The Blue Band – Stainless Steel – Series has been specifically designed to suit these difficult machining requirements.
TiAlN coating increases tool surface hardness to 87Rc.
For machining materials with Hardness < 350 HB : Tensile Strength <1250 N/mm2.
