M35 drill bit (with 5% cobalt) — precision, durability, reliable performance Material and durability: Made from M35 speed steel alloy with 5% cobalt for increased hardness and stability under load. The alloy resists wear and maintains cutting geometry for longer service life. Precision cutting: 135° splitpoint tip reduces walking and selfcenters on contact, letting you start holes with less force and greater accuracy, particularly in tough materials. Consistent chip control: Durable vane/wing (flute) construction and surface quality produce clean, precise cuts and help maintain consistent hole diameter over repeated use. Multipurpose use: Designed for drilling stainless steel, cast iron and sheet metal. Ideal where a hard, heatresistant tip and reliable cut quality are required. Performance benefits: Requires less operator pressure, reduces bit walking, and delivers consistent hole quality—helping you finish jobs faster and with fewer redrills. Practical applications Metal fabrication: Drilling mounting holes through stainless panels and sheet metal for enclosures, brackets or ductwork. Automotive and machinery: Creating or repairing holes in cast iron engine components, transmission housings, or other heavyduty parts. Plumbing and HVAC: Installing fittings, fasteners, or anchors through stainless flanges and thin metal assemblies. Usage notes suited for common drilling tasks in stainless steel, cast iron and sheet metal. Use appropriate coolant or cutting fluid where recommended for heat control and extended bit life. Maintain proper drill speed and feed for the material and chuck setup being used to preserve the bit's cutting edge. What this gives you A robust, reliable drill bit that holds its edge in demanding metals, centers easily, and produces precise, repeatable holes for professional and DIY projects.
