A straight flute drill is a type of drill bit characterized by its straight cutting edges (flutes) that run parallel to the drill's axis. This design is particularly well-suited for drilling materials that produce short chips.
Stub length drill bits are shorter versions of standard jobber length drills. This design prioritizes rigidity and precision.
Extra long length drill bits, sometimes called "aircraft extension drills" or "long series drills," are specialized tools designed for drilling deeper holes than standard drills can reach.
Taper shank drills are specialized tools designed for heavy-duty drilling applications. They feature a tapered shank that provides a secure, self-tightening fit in compatible machine spindles or tools.
Possible Sizes for Double Margin Straight Flute Drills
Fractional Sizes:
Metric Sizes:
Baucor can manufacture drill bits for you ranging from very small sizes like 0.05 mm to large sizes up to 180 mm, accommodating a wide spectrum of drilling requirements. Please contact us for the appropriate dimensions. Baucor can produce drill bits in the most specialized sizes tailored to your needs.
Center drills are specialized tools designed primarily for creating precise center holes (or starting holes) in workpieces. These center holes serve as accurate guides for subsequent drilling, tapping, or machining operations.
A counterbore drill bit is a specialized tool designed to create a flat-bottomed, cylindrical enlargement at the top of a pre-drilled hole.
A countersink drill bit is a specialized tool designed to create a conical recess at the top of a pre-drilled hole. This recess allows screw heads or other fasteners to sit flush with or below the surface of the workpiece, providing a clean, professional finish.
