Individual twist drills are now available from the Parts Department. Also available are six drill sets packaged in metal index containers, which are described within their related category. For setting up attractive counter displays, a 1U5808 Display Case is available for displaying any one category of drill bits. The charts show the drill size and the individual part numbers for each drill.
The drills are made up of different types of steel described below:
- Molybdenum high speed steel- 2 3/4% Molybdenum- 4% Chromium- 2% Vanadium- 1 3/4% TungstenDrill bits made of this material are most commonly used for all standard drilling applications and has a good abrasion resistance.
- Molybdenum high speed steel- 9 1/2% Molybdenum- 3 3/4% Chromium- 1 1/4% Vanadium- 1 1/2% Tungsten- 8% CobaltThis steel has excellent abrasion resistance and retains it's cutting edge at a much higher temperature than M-7 and M-2.
- Molybdenum high speed steel- 5% Molybdenum- 4% Chromium- 2% Vanadium- 6% TungstenThis steel has good abrasion resistance similar to M-7 material but contains less Molybdenum and a higher percentage of Tungsten. It can be used for all standard drilling applications. This is a lower cost alternate to M-7 material.
