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.

This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product page
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.

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.
