Precision Twist M40CO Cobalt Steel Stub Drill Bit, Gold Oxide Finish, Round Shank, Spiral Flute, 135 Degree Point Angle, 1/8" (Pack of 12)

Precision Twist M40CO Cobalt Steel Stub Drill Bit, Gold Oxide Finish, Round Shank, Spiral Flute, 135 Degree Point Angle, 1/8" (Pack of 12) Review



Precision Twist M40CO Cobalt Steel Stub Drill Bit, Gold Oxide Finish, Round Shank, Spiral Flute, 135 Degree Point Angle, 1/8" (Pack of 12) Feature

  • High-speed steel (HSS) containing cobalt is a good combination of toughness and hardness, for use on drilling through hard substances
  • Gold oxide, retains cutting fluid and prevent chip to tool welding
  • 135-degree split point angle is self-centering, reduces walking, good for hard material and reduces pressure on cutting edges
  • Short-length, for better rigidity and increased strength
  • Round shanks, for use on a variety of tool-holding systems

The Precision Twist M40CO jobber-length drill bit is a 135-degree split-point, heavy-duty, round shank drill bit made of high-speed steel and cobalt with a gold oxide finish. For best use drill with hardened, tempered alloy steel, stainless steel, nodular graphite, malleable cast iron, titanium, nickel and hard material-cemets. It is suitable for drilling to a depth up to two-and-a-half times the diameter of the drill. The shank diameter is the same as the drill size.

The M40CO series has a type N flute form (a regular helix angle of 21 to 34 degrees). The gold oxide is a low temperature heat treatment which reduces grinding stress within the tool, and has an appealing, easy-to-identify gold color. Gold oxide is commonly used to identify cobalt steel tools. Spiral flutes act as a passageway for chip extraction from the hole and for coolant to enter the hole. Right-hand twist brings chips up and away from the cutting edge.

Made of HSS with cobalt, which is many times harder/stiffer than HSS, will hold an edge longer, and will deflect less than HSS. These are also more resistant to heat than HSS. These qualities allow it to run at higher speeds and feeds.

Drilling, or hole making, is the most common metalworking operation in the world. Twist drill bits are the most common type of drill bit used. Twist drill bits are commonly used to drill holes with hand-operated drills, standalone drill presses, or lathes. The flutes of the drill bit act a passageway for chip extraction from the hole and for coolant to enter the hole. These drill bits have a right-hand twist that brings chips up and away from the cutting edge. They are made to DIN 1897 industry standards (metric sizing), which helps ensure that drill bits around the world conform to the same specifications.

Precision manufactures machine tools under the following brands: Precision Twist, Precision Dormer, and Union Butterfield. They have locations around the world, and provide tools adhering to ANSI, NAS, and DIN standards.

Power
DEWALT-designed electronics have been built into the DCD985L2’s switch to provide maximum life for the tools and batteries by helping to protect them from overheating, overloading, and deep discharge during use. The 20-volt’s lithium-ion batteries provide up to 35 percent more runtime than existing 18-volt lithium-ion battery technology. The included charger has dual voltage capabilities, and it is compatible with both 12-volt max and 20-volt max DEWALT lithium-ion batteries. Plus, the hammer drill’s high-power, high-efficiency motor delivers 535 unit watts out of maximum power for superior performance in all drilling and fastening applications.


Speed
The hammer drill’s patented three-speed (0-600 RPM; 0-1,250 RPM; and 0-2,000 RPM), all-metal transmission allows users to select the appropriate speed for the job at hand and provides a significant advantage for applications that cannot be done at high speed because of torque requirements. While other drills may have to be set to the slowest speed, the DEWALT 20-volt max lithium-ion premium 3.0 Ah hammer drill has a middle speed setting that is more than twice as fast for tasks like drilling larger ship auger bits.


Durability
A heavy-duty 1/2-inch metal ratcheting chuck with carbide inserts provides superior bit-gripping strength—reducing slippage during high-torque applications—thus providing longer tool life. And the all-metal gear housing meets the demand for extreme toughness.


Comfort and Convenience
The premium hammer drill’s design incorporates a slim handle that extends user comfort during long jobs, and DEWALT’s engineering and design team adjusted the product footprint and weight allocation for ideal balance and a lightweight feel. The bright built-in LED work light above the trigger has a 20-second delay that improves visibility in dimly lit spaces.
