Product Description

The Drill America DWD29J-CO-PC Qualtech jobber length drill bit set contains 29 cobalt steel drill bits with gold oxide finish in inch sizes 1/16" to 1/2" (1/64" increments). A self-centering 135-degree split point penetrates hard material without a pilot hole and produces smaller chips that reduce clogging compared to a 118-degree point. Cobalt steel provides extended tool life compared to high-speed steel drill bits, and maintains the tool's toughness and hardness in high drilling temperatures. A gold oxide finish acts as a lubricant and provides wear resistance, and the round shank accommodates most drill chucks. The set comes in a plastic index case with labeled compartments for identification and organization. Drill bits conform to American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards.

Drill bits are cutting tools used to make holes in a range of materials using machines such as handheld portable drills, machining centers, and lathes. Drill bits come in a variety of lengths and types, the most common of which is the twist drill bit. The round, twisted shaft of the twist drill bit typically has two cutting edges and flutes. The helical twist of the flutes brings chips up and away from the cutting edges and allows for coolant to reach the cutting edges. Jobber length twist drill bits, the most common length of twist drill bit, offer a good compromise of length and reach to work with the widest range of materials and applications. Mechanic's length twist drill bits (also called maintenance length) are a little shorter than jobber length and less prone to deflection when drilling. Short length twist drill bits (also called stub or screw-machine length) are the shortest and stiffest twist drill bits, helping to reduce the chance of deflection or breakage when drilling. Reduced shank drill bits (also called Silver and Deming drill bits) have a shank that is smaller in diameter than its shaft, permitting drilling machines with either a 1/2" or 3/4" drill chuck to create large holes. Long length twist drill bits (also called taper length) are a little longer than jobber length, allowing for deeper holes and longer reach. Extra long twist drill bits (also called extension) are longer than long length twist drill bits for greater reach or for drilling deeper holes.

Drill America manufactures cutting tools such as drill bits, taps, dies, counterbores, countersinks, end mills, and reamers. The company, founded in 1927, is headquartered in Miami, FL.

Outstanding set of HS drill bits. To get the bits out of the package I use a set of needle nose pliers. They are extremely sharp. No need to cut your hands or your good pair of mechanics gloves or nitrile gloves. These bits Cut through high strength steel like butter. Had to drill thru broken manifold bolts on a 96 ford. Worked like a charm. Yes, these are expensive, but they do what the titanium bits won't. Don't waste your money on inexpensive bits for those big jobs. Buy one set and done. These are also have the ability to be re sharpened. The holder case is water proof and tight. Made in America bits!

I already have a complete (115 pc) set of Chicago-Latrobe 550, which are also Cobalt, 135 deg, split-point, straw-finished bits. I bought the Drill America bits as a lower-cost complement for work where I want the extra hardness, heat resistance, and sharpenability (more on this below) of Cobalt but don't want to risk breaking my good bits. The bottom line is that while the Drill America bits aren't up to the level of the 550s, they're as good as or better than expected for the price.

I've used onee of these bits top drill holes in annealed O1 tool steel plate, and it held up as well as you'd expect from Cobalt HSS, though maybe a little worse than I'd expect from the C-Ls. The C-L 550s are M42 Cobalt HSS, and it would be interesting to know if these are M42 or M35 - I suspect the latter.

Where the Drill Americas come up a bit short is in quality/precision of grinding, with two noticeable issues: The trailing face of a split-point bit should ideally meet the cutting edge at a point, though in reality all manufacturers leave a tiny chisel point to allow for machining tolerances (i.e. the split doesn't quite intersect the cutting edge). Those residual chisel points are noticeably (50-100%) larger on the Drill America bits than on the Chicago-Latrobes, though both are MUCH smaller than the chisel point on a conventional bit, and both are small enough to avoid wandering.

A more serious issue is that a couple of the smaller bits are mis-ground such that the trailing edge of the splitting edge is almost on top of the bit's cutting edge, leaving a very thin flute.

Great high end bits. I marked it down for the holder. Design makes it very difficult to remove the bits without cutting you fingers. A good water proof design for the jobber, just toss them in the truck. Not so good for a shop.

I like the drill index compared to the clasic metal design. One bit was hard to get out but I took the whole thing apart and carved it out a little with a knife and now it's fine. One funny thing is that the case is six sided but the sticker on top is eight sided. I've been wanting a set of bits but have been waiting to find one at a good price. This set came up on the daily deals so I got it. I am very happy with it.

great drills, turned me into a tool nazi at work as i never let anyone use them and never leave them out! but they are amazing in every way! and i think they listened to these reviews and actually used the bits themselves to loosen the holes in which they sit so they are much easier to remove which i am happy for because quite a few people complained about it being difficult to remove the bits.

Love these drill bits and the carrier is sturdy and seals well. These have been excellent bits and I haven't broken one yet. I have had real expensive titanium bits and tried others but was always disappointed at how easy they would break. I have had these now for quite awhile and still am pleased.

Bazaar holder, but nice to grab the whole unit and take to the location you are working in. Sizes are hard to read, but I like that the bits dont get caught in the index like the old fashion kind. Not sure of the durability of the bit, only used one so far around the house.

These bits seem to work well in mild steel... I'm running them in a Bridgeport with a Jacobs chuck and using flood coolant at a reasonable RPM to get to a 1" hole stepping up though various sizes. In the interest of full disclosure, I did have the 3/16", 3/8" and 7/16" bit start burning and dulling pretty quickly (the first two more so than the last one). My initial contact with support was met with a less than acceptable response. After a bit of conversation in email they've agreed to replace the 3 bum bits and suggested possibly a bad batch. Given the replacement and for the price, I'm quite happy with this set, and, will be trying out a higher end set as well!
