The 135° split point is self-centering and reduces thrust. Sizes smaller than 1/16 have the 118° standard point. Drill America Aircraft Extension Drills are available in 6 in. and 12 in. overall lengths when extra reach 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 un-coated tools
- Round shanks allow use with a wide variety of tool holding systems
- When run in a counterclockwise direction (right-hand cut) spiral fluted tools evacuate chips up and out of the cut to reduce clogging
- Manufactured to National Aerospace Standard 907
- Made of heat resistant cobalt, they are especially effective in drilling tough, high tensile strength materials like PH stainless steel, Inconel and titanium
- California residents
