S&D drill bits, also known as reduced shank drill bits, are versatile tools designed for drilling larger diameter holes in various materials.
1.) Material: Cobalt s&d drill bits are constructed from cobalt steel, which contains a significant proportion of cobalt alloyed steel. Cobalt steel offers superior hardness, heat resistance, and wear resistance compared to standard HSS drill bits, making it ideal for drilling through tough materials like stainless steel, cast iron, and other alloys.
2.) Design: Similar to traditional Silver & Deming drill bits, Cobalt s&d drill bits feature a 1/2 inch reduced shank diameter and a larger cutting diameter. This design allows them to be used with standard drill chucks while still accommodating larger hole sizes. The shorter flute length enhances rigidity and reduces deflection during drilling.
3.) Versatility: Cobalt s&d drill bits are versatile tools suitable for a wide range of applications, including metalworking, construction, fabrication, and maintenance tasks. Their ability to drill through tough materials makes them particularly useful in industrial settings where standard drill bits may struggle.
4.) Performance: The cobalt steel construction of these drill bits provides excellent performance in terms of cutting speed, durability, and heat resistance. They can withstand high temperatures generated during drilling, resulting in longer tool life and improved productivity.
