Key Features

• Cobalt Alloy Construction: Formulated with a cobalt alloy for superior hardness, heat resistance, and extended tool life when drilling challenging materials.
• 135-Degree Split Point: Designed for precise, self-centering starts without the need for a pilot hole, significantly reducing bit walking on contact.
• High-Speed Steel Base: Provides a strong and durable foundation, capable of withstanding demanding drilling operations.
• Enhanced Heat Dissipation: The cobalt content helps the bit maintain its cutting edge even at higher temperatures generated during drilling.
• Standard Straight Shank: Ensures compatibility with most conventional drill chucks and power tools.

Applications

• Hard Metal Drilling: Ideal for penetrating tough materials such as stainless steel, cast iron, titanium, and hardened alloys.
• Metal Fabrication: Suitable for creating precise holes in various metal components in industrial and workshop environments.
• Automotive Repair: Essential for drilling into vehicle frames, engine components, and other demanding automotive materials.
• Maintenance and Repair: A reliable tool for general maintenance tasks where drilling through strong or abrasive surfaces is required.
• Precision Work: The self-centering point is beneficial for applications demanding accurate hole placement without initial slippage.

Benefits

• Extended Tool Life: The cobalt alloy significantly increases durability and wear resistance, leading to fewer bit changes and reduced operational costs.
• Effortless Drilling: The sharp, 135-degree split point penetrates hard metals more easily, requiring less force and delivering faster results.
• Superior Accuracy: Eliminates bit walking at the start of drilling, ensuring holes are precisely positioned from the first contact.
• Consistent Performance: Maintains its cutting effectiveness even when drilling through abrasive or high-strength materials, providing reliable results project after project.
• Increased Productivity: Drills through demanding applications with greater speed and efficiency, helping users complete tasks more quickly.
