BORDO Wire Gauge Bright Finish HSS Jobber Drill Set

  • Bordo Wire Gauge Quick Silver M2-HSS Twist Drills.
  • 118° Split Point (crankshaft point).
  • 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.
  • 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 4 Cutter Glass and Tile Drill Hex Shank
    • Tungsten Carbide 4 Cutter Glass and Tile Drill
    • Precision diamond ground, double chamfered spear point tungsten carbide for fast cutting and extreme tool life (when used at slow to medium speeds).
    • Fast starting with reduced bit wander.
    • Suitable for use in: glazed and un-glazed ceramic tiles, glazed porcelain tiles, through-body porcelain tiles, plate (float) glass and annealed glass.
    • Not suitable for use with toughened or laminated safety glass.
    • Use a slow speed with steady but gentle pressure.
    • Reduce the pressure at break through.
    • For increased bit life use a cutting fluid/lubricant such as water or turpentine to reduce heat.
    • When drilling multiple holes in ceramic tiles, or when drilling vitrified porcelain, we recommend using either Bordo ceramic tile drills, the Bordo mist drill product range or Brilliant Diamond core drills.
    • Tungsten Carbide (commonly referred to as Carbide) is a chemical compound containing equal parts of tungsten and carbon atoms.
    • Carbide is three times stiffer than steel and is much denser than either steel or titanium.
    • Carbide has a very high abrasion resistance and can also withstand higher temperatures than standard HSS.
    • Carbide tools are often used for machining hard materials such as ceramics and stainless steel, as well as in situations where other tools would wear away, such as high volume production runs.
    • Because carbide tools maintain a sharp cutting edge better than other tools, they generally produce a better finish on parts, and their temperature resistance allows faster machining.
    • Whilst tungsten carbide is extremely hard it is also brittle so it is important to avoid bit “chattering” as this is the most common cause of tool failure.
