This M35 cobalt drill bit set is for drilling hard metals. It works where standard bits fail. The 5% cobalt alloy (HSS-Co) handles the extreme heat. This happens when drilling stainless steel, cast iron, and hardened steel. You get clean holes without the bit dulling too soon. Features and Benefits
- M35 cobalt alloy steel - This steel keeps its cutting edge and hardness at high temperatures. This is important for drilling tough metals.
- 135-degree split point tip - It starts drilling right away without moving off target. You don't need a center punch for accuracy.
- Fully ground body - This makes a more exact hole. It also clears chips well, which helps lower heat and friction.
- Straight shank - It fits firmly in standard chucks. This works for most handheld drills and stationary drill presses. Applications
- Stainless Steel Work: These drill bits are right for stainless steel countertops, backsplashes, and making commercial equipment.
- Heavy-Duty Metal Drilling: Drill through hardened steel plates, angle iron, and other tough alloys. This is good for maintenance or repair jobs.
- Automotive Modification: These are good for drilling out broken exhaust bolts. Or for making mounting points on vehicle frames and parts.
Material: HSS-Co (M35 Cobalt). Application: Stainless Steel, Metal, Iron, Woodworking. Drill Type: Twist Drill Bit. Grit Type: Fine. Product Type: Cobalt Drill Bit Set. Shank Type: Straight Shank. Application Materials: Stainless Steel, Metal, Iron, Woodworking. Material: HSS-Co (High-Speed Steel with 5% Cobalt content). Hardness Rating: Typically 64-66 HRC (Rockwell Hardness C scale). Cobalt Content: 5% (M35 grade). Drill Bit Type: Twist Drill Bit. Flute Type: Standard Spiral Flute. Grit Type: Fine. Heat Resistance: Excellent (due to cobalt content, allows for higher drilling speeds and longer tool life). Point Angle: Typically 135° split point (self-centering, reduces 'walking').

A: These are straight shank twist drill bits. They are made from M35 high-speed steel (HSS), which is an alloy that includes 5% cobalt.. Q: How does the cobalt content help when drilling? A: The 5% cobalt makes the steel significantly harder and more resistant to heat. This means the cutting edge stays sharp longer, especially when drilling into tough metals at higher speeds..

Q: Why should I choose these over less expensive titanium-coated bits? A: While titanium coating helps, the cobalt in M35 bits is part of the steel itself, not just a surface layer. This means they can be resharpened without losing their hardness, giving them a much longer useful life on difficult jobs.. Q: Why should I choose these over less expensive titanium-coated bits?
