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.
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.
Chisel point is suitable for general purpose drilling.
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 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.

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 White Band HSS-Co TiAlN Coated Twist Drills for Cast Iron.
DIN338
118° / 70° DX point with two helical flutes with 33 degrees of helix angle.
A highly abrasive material with damping and thermal conductivity, high strength and resistance to wear. Cast Iron is used extensively for mass produced components.
The White Band Series is designed for this specific purpose. TiAlN coating increases tool surface hardness to 87Rc.
For machining materials with Hardness < 300 HB : Tensile Strength <10900 N/mm2.
