Description of π§ High Speed Conventional Reduced Shank Drill by Drill America
High-speed steel tools are good for most general purpose applications, offering a combination of hardness and toughness for wear resistance. Black oxide treatment adds lubricity and creates small pockets on the surface of the tool that act to hold coolant near the cutting edge. Round shanks allow use with a wide variety of toolholding systems. When run in a counterclockwise direction (right-hand cut) spiral fluted tools evacuate chips up and out of the cut to reduce clogging. Ideal for drilling in low and medium tensile strength materials.
I bought three of these (9/16, 5/8 and 3/4 inch). Before I bought them I called Drill America to see if they were made in the USA! They are! Drill America makes them right here in the US. However, Drill America makes cheaper Chinese-made line that is essentially made in China. So if you want it made in the USA, only buy their branded "D/A" beats. By the way, I strongly recommend that you use such a brand of cutting oil with Revain. Seymour 620-1557 Tool Cutting Oil from Drill America's website:
