Drill America 59/64" Cobalt Steel Taper Length Drill Bit, DWDTL Series

Designed for drilling where a length longer than jobber length is required Cobalt steel tools are similar to high-speed steel, but with more cobalt for improved performance when cutting harder metals such as stainless steel or nickel alloys Gold oxide is a thinner oxide surface treatment than black oxide typically used to identify cobalt steel tools; performance is similar to uncoated tools Round shanks allow use with a wide variety of toolholding systems When run in a counterclockwise direction (right-hand cut) spiral fluted tools evacuate chips up and out of the cut to reduce clogging Ideal for drilling in tough, high tensile strength materials
