Cobalt HSS-Co5BORDO Cobalt HSS-Co5 Jobber Drill Fractional
- Bordo Fractional Cobalt Tough HSS-Co5 Twist Drills.
- ANSI B94-11
- 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.
- The 135° point should be used to cut harder steel materials especially in deep hole applications.
- In these situations it will produce thicker chips minimising work hardening of the cavity.
- Faster penetration reduces abrasion and friction along the cutting edges.
- Cobalt HSS Twist drills are extremely hard and provide superior performance and increased tool life especially in stainless steel and high tensile steel.
- Bronze Finish (gold oxide) surface treatment. The metallic brown coloured low temperature temper treatment is normally only used on cobalt tools for identification purposes.

COBALT TiAlN Coated Spiral FluteBORDO COBALT TiAlN Coated Spiral Flute
- Bordo Cobalt Spiral Flute Titanium Aluminium Nitride (TiAlN) coated step drills offer unparalleled performance when drilling hard metals such as stainless steel.
- HSS-Co5 material provides increased performance and tool life when machining tough steels.
- Bordo step drills are ideal for electrical contractors, sheetmetal workers and auto mechanics.
- Step drills are designed for drilling repetitive holes in steel, stainless steel, copper, brass, aluminium, plastic, plexiglas, laminates and many other thin materials.
- High performance point for faster starting and reduced bit wander.
- No pilot hole required.
- Stepless drilling in the thinnest sheets.
- Burr-free drilling without sheet deformation.
- Automatic deburring.
- Spiral flutes enable easier tool penetration.
- Titanium Aluminium Nitride (TiAlN) is a thin film coating that was developed from Titanium Nitride.
- TiAlN offers higher temperature resistance than TiN, as well as slightly higher hardness and especially higher hot hardness (i.e. the hardness at high temperatures).
- It is primarily used in high temperature environments above the limits of TiN usage.
- This coating works by forming a thin surface layer of Alumina (Al2O3), or Aluminium Oxide ceramic.
- As the layer wears it continuously reforms.

BrushwareBORDO Condensor Tube Brushes Brass Wire
- Brass Wire
- Twisted in wire brushes are known by many names, such as spiral, tube, bottle, pipe and more, but generally they are manufactured using the same construction technique.
- A piece of wire is doubled over and bristle material is inserted between the fold of the wire stem, the wire stem is then twisted into a brush.
- The most common brush “fills” are steel wire, stainless steel wire, brass wire, and nylon.
- All Bordo condensor tube and boiler tube brushes feature a BSW male threaded ferrule.
- They may be used by hand or with power equipment.
- All brushes are available as single or double spiral.
- The double spiral are a heavier construction with a more dense brush face for more aggressive brushing and are ideally suited to use with a power tool.

Delta Point Bright Finish HSSBORDO Delta Point Bright Finish HSS Metric
- Bordo Metric Delta Point M2-HSS Twist Drills.
- DIN338
- Delta Point drills have a multi-faceted cutting tip.
- Rather than try and modify existing point types, or tweak the grind angles, Delta Point tip design required a revolutionary re-think of drill tip function.
- The overall length of the cutting edge significantly exceeds that of conventional drills.
- This means more edge doing the cutting and the results are simply extraordinary.
- Drilling times for a range of split point and Delta Point drills consistently showed that Delta Point bits were twice as fast in mild steel.
- During independent lifetime testing Delta point drill bits averaged 609 holes in 20mm mild steel, ten times more holes than split point drills.
- DRILLS FASTER LASTS LONGER.
- 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.

Diamond Saw BladesBORDO Diamond Saw Blades General Purpose Continuous Rim
- Enduro Diamond General Purpose Continuous Rim.
- Continuous rim blades have softer bonds for cutting hard materials such as tile, porcelain, granite, stone, glass, and other materials that can chip easily.
- These blades don’t have individual segments but instead have a solid, continuous rim or edge.
- Most continuous rim blades are designed for wet cutting applications, providing the smoothest, chip free cuts.
- Diamond blades do not cut, they actually grind through the material by exposing new diamond at the right moment just before the old diamond wears away.
- The newly exposed diamonds again will wear, chip, or break out of the metal bond in the segment, while the metal bond gradually wears away to expose new diamond. This process is repeated over and over until there is no diamond remaining and the blade is worn out.
- Ideally and to get the maximum life out of a diamond blade, the metal should wear away at just the right time to expose new diamond for optimum cutting performance.
- If the metal wears away too quickly, the diamonds are exposed to soon and get torn out of the metal bond before they are fully worn. The result is a very short blade life.
- If the metal wears away too slowly, the diamonds wear away before new diamond is exposed. This is often referred to as a ‘glazed blade’. Without exposed diamond the blade will not cut.
- Abrasive materials like green concrete and asphalt will wear the metal bond very fast, so blades for these materials have a much harder metal bond to resist this abrasion.
- The opposite occurs on a hard clay paver the clay paver is not abrasive enough to wear the metal bond fast enough to expose fresh diamond, therefore a different and much softer alloy is needed for cutting these types.
- The single most important factor for the life of the blade is to match it to the job application and the type of equipment it is being used on.
