Overview

• Bright provides a smooth, polished finish on the tool. It increases chip flow in softer materials such as aluminum, wood and plastic.
• High speed steel (HSS) provides good wear resistance and can be used in general purpose applications for both ferrous and nonferrous materials.
• Straight flutes are the most common and are used in general purpose though-hole applications. They are used for reaming holes without interrupted cuts.
• Straight shanks are used for general purpose applications. The shank is smaller than the drill bit diameter. They are used with portable drills and drill presses on ferrous and non-ferrous materials.
