The strength and durability of a drill bit are crucial factors for industries that rely on drilling operations to carry out their daily tasks. A drill bit that is weak or lacks durability can lead to frequent breakdowns, causing costly downtime and delays in production. Also, it can be a safety hazard, causing accidents and injuries. A strong and durable drill bit, on the other hand, can withstand the wear and tear of heavy use and is less likely to break, reducing downtime and accidents. They also need to be replaced less often. Hi-Line understands the importance of a drill bit that can withstand the demand of your operations.
We can show the durability of our Nitro Heavy Duty - 3 Flat Shank Drill Bit by drilling a hole through a Grade 8 Bolt.
Follow the steps below to try it out yourself!
Secure your grade 8 bolt using a clamp to ensure it will not move during drilling.
Notice how the bit doesn’t slip or move once you placed it where you want your hole. That is due to the split point tip.
Begin drilling, making sure to start slow and controlled.
Notice how the debris is dispersed low and not flying up into your face or eyes.
Halfway through the bolt, you should apply a lubricant to manage temperature control.
Watch how the spiral design of the Nitro Heavy Duty Drill Bit keeps the lubricant in place, reducing the amount needed to complete the job.
Once completed, you’ll see how cleanly the drill bit cut the hole needed. Also notices the quality of the bit is still strong after being used. The strength demonstrates the increased lifespan of the bit.
Increase the life of your drill bits and reduce risk by using the Nitro Drill Bit sold by Hi-Line.
