Solid metal drill bits typically have smaller diameters compared to indexable drill bits, making them capable of achieving tighter tolerances. With a self-centering feature, these drill bits produce small chips that can be easily evacuated through the flute.
Pacific Industrial Supply can offer you the best tools for your application needs. Whether you’re machining soft aluminum, or a more difficult nickel based alloy like Inconel, we’ve got you covered. We offer everything from solid carbide to HSS jobber drills to flat bottom drills. Contact us for more information regarding our selection.

Materials are an important consideration to keep in mind when selecting the best tool for your drilling application. Our solid drill bits are available in a range of high quality materials and coatings. Available options include:
Solid Carbide: Hardest and most brittle material option with resistance to high temperatures. Designed for use with high quality machining equipment. Ideal for drilling into hardened metals.
High Speed Steel (HSS): Offers excellent precision for general purpose, job shop requirements.
Cobalt: Ideal for drilling into steel and stainless steel grades. Offers extra strength compared to HSS.
Powdered Metal: Superior strength and hardness compared to both HSS and cobalt. Less rigid and less prone to breakage than solid carbide drill bits.

Screw Machine Drill Bits (Twist Drill Bits)
Also known as short length drills or twist drills, screw machine drills are designed with a shorter flute length to provide maximum strength during machine drilling applications. Screw machine drills are perfect for drilling shallow holes.
Jobber Length Drill Bits
Jobber drill bits have a longer length compared to their diameter. These drills are highly versatile and can be used for most general purpose machining applications.
High Performance Drill Bits
High performance drills are manufactured for demanding machining applications. These drills offer a long tool life and provide excellent chip control even when operated at high speeds.
Carbide Tipped Drill Bits
Carbide tipped drill bits are usually made from steel and feature a carbide tip. These tools are commonly used Where a diameter is too large for solid carbide, greatly reducing the cost of the drill.
Core Drills
Similar to a hole saw, core drills are designed to remove large cylindrical shapes from materials to create a hollow core. These drills are typically used to enlarge previously drilled holes.
Extra Length, Taper Length, and Aircraft Extension Drill Bits
Extra length, taper length, and aircraft extension drills are manufactured to longer lengths compared to other drill types for difficult to reach locations. Aircraft extension drills are designed to meet NAS specifications for aerospace applications.
Reduced Shank Drill Bits
Reduced shank drills have a smaller diameter at the shank than at the tip, offering capacity to drill large holes when using tools with a small chuck size.
Taper Shank Drill Bits
Taper shank drills have a conical shank to fit into tapered holes and are designed for use with press spindles, driving sleeves, or sockets.
Miniature Drill Bits
Also known as micro drill bits, miniature drill bits are ideal for producing smooth, precision holes in hard metals. These bits are usually operated at very high speeds.
