  DESCRIPTIONS OF DRILLS

JOBBERS - GENERAL PURPOSE POLISHED: (GP) This style drill is commonly called Jobbers and is of an intermediate length. This Drill is furnished with a 118° point; the smooth surface enhances the chip removal action. The straight shank style is suitable for a number of applications, materials, and can be used on a variety of equipment. [BACK]

GENERAL PURPOSE TREATED: The Black-Oxide treatment increases abrasion resistance, allows for increased chip flow, and helps eliminate chip welding. Used for drilling cast iron and carbon steels. [BACK]

HEAVY DUTY TREATED: Designed for drilling cotter pin holes and steering knules, it is also recommended for drilling high tensile strength steel. The heavy-duty drill is furnished with a 135° Split Point except in sizes smaller than 1/16th in fractional sizes and 52 in wire gauge sizes. The self-centering split-point helps eliminate walking at the drill point to provide more accurate drilling. The Black-Oxide treatment increases abrasion resistance, allows for increased chip flow, and helps eliminate chip welding.[BACK]

HIGH SPIRAL - HIGH HELIX (FAST SPIRAL) BRIGHT: Designed for the drilling of deep holes and has a 118° point, the high helix and open flutes allow for chips to clear the hole easily. This drill can be used in low tensile strength aluminum, copper, magnesium, and die casting materials. Other materials include soft steels, free machining brass and bronze, stainless steels, and screw machine stock.[BACK]

DYNA-FLUTE (PARA-FLUTE) BRIGHT: This drill with a 118° point is designed for rapid deep hole drilling, with the ability to operate at faster feed rates with reduced thrust. The special web construction with a wide parabolic shaped flute increases the chip removal rate and allows coolant to flow to the drill point. Due to its special geometry, wood-pecking or periodic retracting is virtually eliminated.[BACK]

COBALT: Cobalt drills come in a variety of sizes and styles. The cobalt is heat resistant, and they can be used in a number of different applications including, screw machines, and portable drilling applications used for drilling hard, tough materials.[BACK]

SETS: NYTD Sets are ideal for tool & die makers, machinists, electricians, garage mechanic's, and hobbyists. They all come in a metal index box, keeping sizes separate and easy to find. Available in a wide variety of sizes and styles.[BACK]

TAPER LENGTH: These drills are used when a longer overall and flute length are needed and come in a variety of different styles such as High Helix, Dyna-Flute, and Tanged, they also come surface treated, polished and with both 118° and 135° drill points.[BACK]

TAPER SHANK: Designed to fit ANS (MORSE) Taper Sockets and Sleeves. Features include a 118° Point and a Black-Oxide treatment that increases abrasion resistance, and helps eliminate chip welding. They can be used in a number of different types of applications and materials.[BACK]

SCREW MACHINE LENGTH: The shorter overall, and flute lengths offer increased rigidity for use in screw machines and other applications such as portable drilling. They come in a variety of styles including: HSS polished and treated, NAS series, and Cobalt.[BACK]

CORE DRILL (4 FLUTE): The 4 fluted Straight Shank Core Drill is furnished with a 118° Included Chamfer Angle, and a Black-Oxide treatment.
