Long Reach Drills are suitable for all general purpose drilling where extra reach is required.
Long Reach Drills are not designed to drill deep holes.
Maximum hole depth must be less than the flute length (FL) of the drill.
Deep hole drilling requires the use of a Bordo Long Series Drill, Bordo Extra Deep Hole Drill or Bordo Auger Bit depending on the material being drilled.
135° Split Point (crankshaft point)
Split point is self centering reducing the need for end thrust.
The 135° point provides superior performance when drilling harder steel materials.
In most situations it will produce thicker chips minimising work hardening of the cavity.
Faster penetration reduces abrasion and friction along the cutting edges.
Black Finish 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.
Stub drills (screw machine twist drills) have a shorter overall length than Twist drills for maximum rigidity and longer tool life.
135° Split Point (crankshaft point).
Split point is self centering and the short distance from the drill axis to the outer corners results in faster penetration, reducing the need for end thrust.
They are designed primarily for machining operations in lathes (screw machines) but can also be used in manual hand held drills.
Bordo Stub Drills have two helical flutes with 30 degrees of helix angle. This provides fast chip ejection and very stable drilling operation.
Black Finish Stub Drills (also called blue finish) achieve their distinctive colour by steam tempering, a thermal process resulting in a porous tool coating.
Black finish tools are generally recommended for ferrous applications where the oxide layer aids chip flow and heat dissipation.

Bordo Metric Yellow Band HSS Twist Drills for Aluminium and its alloys.
DIN338
130° web thinned point with two helical flutes with 35 degrees of helix angle.
The alloying elements which achieve varying Aluminium Alloys have an effect on the machining properties of these materials.
This generally creates a difficult long chip formation and material which has tendencies to stick to the tool, placing a unique set of demands on tooling. Yellow Band Series contends with these difficulties.
For machining materials with Hardness < 200 HB : Tensile Strength <700 N/mm2.
