Tired of breaking drill bits when drilling into metal?

Find out the best bit to use in this Toolbox Tip!

________________

When drilling metal, many individuals typically opt for the standard length drill bits readily available at hardware stores.

These are commonly known as jobber drills and serve as versatile tools for various applications around the workshop.

However, it's worth noting that jobber drills, due to their considerable length, can often be excessively long for effective use in metal drilling. This excessive length leads to undesirable flexibility, especially in smaller diameter bits, resulting in frequent breakages.

This is where the stub length drill bits shine.

Stub length drill bits offer a viable solution to the prevalent issue of drill bit breakage during metalworking. These shorter length are specifically engineered for efficient metal drilling, presenting numerous advantages over standard length jobber drills.

Here are five compelling reasons to contemplate incorporating stub drills into your metalworking projects:

➡️ Reduced Flexibility

➡️ Increased Rigidity

➡️ Enhanced Accuracy

➡️ Optimized for Metalworking and Better Quality

➡️ Versatility in Confined Spaces

When confronted with metal drilling tasks, the advantages of utilizing stub length drill bits are unmistakable. Their qualities make them a great choice for achieving precise and reliable results without the frustration of broken bits.

Consider upgrading your metalworking toolkit with stub drills to experience the difference in performance and durability.

Dude, that's amazing. I work a ton with thicker metal and smallish holes.

I did not know that. Thanks for sharing. What's your fav drill brand ?

Anything that's made in a first world country will be good. (US, Japan, Germany, etc.)

As a CNC machininist. .02 inch jobber drills ftw, undersized stubbies for a lead after the spot 😅
