I'm a steel fabricator I do a lot of drilling mitering machine operating and Welding so drill bits are essential. And I can tell you what I like the most are Kobalts Titanium coated and Bosch M42 Cobalt bits. Thats whats in my work toolbox. Steel Aluminum Stainless and even 1- 1.5" cold-roll and stress proof Steel. So I am very very very very very glad to watch this. Because in my world drill bits that aren't good cost me a lot so getting great drill bits not only help productivity but pay for themselves plus interest.

[@ProjectFarm]

Great feedback on the Bosch M42. Great set for the price!

[@hgbugalou]

I am a fan of Drillhog and Viking. Nothing can compare to either brand out of a big box store and both are USA made. Worth the cost IMO as you can sharpen them occasionally and they hold up as long as you don't smoke them with too much heat. Using them day to day and holding an edge after being sharpened for a long time is my gauge of quality. Nothing like cheap drill bits to have me cussing in the garage. 🤣

[@RedPillAlways]

@@hgbugalou Amen to that.. that's why I keep Kobalt titanium coated for mild steel and aluminum. But I keep Bosch m42 for everything else. I have bought one box of each in the past year and I have not had to go out and buy drill bits in that year. And I can tell you I have probably drilled well over a thousand holes easily.. I work for a company (To Witch is the only company in the world that does this) that makes concession trailers foldable bleachers 10 /12 /15 row an 8 row and stages(3 different types) All portable by good size regular Truck an can be operated by 1 person...

Century, viking, and some of the other brands you tested are also ones we use. What we really need is a good quality sharpener. I've only been in this company for 3 years, and little by little I've managed to convince the shop manager that tool maintenance saves money. It also improves productivity and work quality.

[@Bannimann2]

​@@johnnysimes5082 It depends... In my younger days I worked for a machine shop for about 6 months, and we used tons and tons of drill bits, in various sizes, and also thread cutting taps. The company bought them directly from the manufacturer in Germany, and they only paid a fraction of the price that a normal person would have to pay, because they bought them in bulk, like thousands and thousands of drill bits and taps at a time, and they saved about 90% on the retail prices - it would not have been economically viable to have someone employed to re-sharpen the drills.

[@David-xo8ci]

At my job we have an old Darex SP2500 drill sharpener, that thing is great. A perfectly sharp drill with a perfect split point every single time in no time at all. The newer Darex machines are expensive, but they last forever. So that might be something to look at. Also, I'm with the other guy: every shop needs a greybeard. The guy that taught me to machine passed away unexpectedly only half a year after I started. I can get a lot done on my own, but there's just no substitute for the kind of experience someone like that brings to the table. Wish he was still around.

I worked for an irrigation company for 20 years. Having worked in several departments, I was in sales when the company was purchased and moved in 1982. The new company, being 'smarter' than the original company, decided to use imported .125" drills for orifices in 'Navy Brass' which had to be burr free. The imported drills would typically make 100 to 125 holes before becoming unusable as opposed to several hundred holes when using the more expensive "Cleveland Twist Drills" as used by the original company. I was asked how to extend the life of the imported drills. After consulting with a machinist friend, I sent the drills to a "Cryogenic" lab where they were 'heat treated' at -420 degrees below 0 degrees F. After treatment, the drills produced a clean orifice with a life of several hundred cycles. Hopefully this story is interesting and informative. I truly enjoy your videos, Thank You.

[@TheStaniG]

Cryo treatment just fully converts the existing Martensite? to harder compounds. Itll greatly increase the wear resistance but also make the bits more brittle/less forgiving to off axis loads. I thought you were about to tell management, "Yeah I have a great idea how to extend the life of the drill bits to several times these.... BUY THE OLD ONES YOU NONCE" 😂

MANY off brand drill bits will perform totally different. I used to buy CHEAP HSS and solid cobalt bits, when they were pretty much all USA made... Hanson-Ace, Century, and many others.... They immediately got resharpened before putting into service, as they were optimized for production speed, not performance. I think they are getting a bit better, even if most are from China, to give good, if not optimal performance. Drill Doctor will make drill bits last until they are too short to use anymore. Even one that snaps at the tip, can be rejuvenated. Just do not let it cook to cherry red on a bench grinder. Keep it cool.... get shape close to proper, and finish on Drill Doctor.@@ProjectFarm

2:31 THAT tip is what I made way back in the mid 1970s. Also revamped other tooling for the better. We had an issue drilling oil holes in our largest diesel crankshafts. The drilling distance was over 1 foot through journal, main & journal (JMJ) where it took just under 3 drill bits to complete. I created that 'pilot bit' and gave it to the oil hole machine (bit size was around 3/8"). Tho he was skeptical he was surprised it drilled through one JMJ then partly through the next. Overall it saved the driller bit changing time and upped his production. THE REALLY ODD THING is, next day when the machine shop seen what I did, they wanted me fired. Well in a year that engine division of A.C. was having $$ issues then became Fiat-Allis. IF ONLY that company took to heart at least a few of my ideas & concepts that engine division could have stayed and kept workers jobs. When they moved south everyone was asked to stay on but me. ya...their loss. (smh) OH! That pilot bit came to market just over 2 years later.

In a job scenario time is money and it is worth the price and the company did supply the drills and other cutting tools. At home I use what every I have since most times it is hanging something on the walls of the house and you do not care if it takes an extra minute or two.

[@adamjames1375]

@@Finnegan6674 I'm very familiar with the Magnum, they're my favorite corded drill. Best trigger response & nice low r.p.m. One of the few "now made in China" tools that's still excellent. I work primarily in the field doing carpentry/construction so cordless is king out there. Within the last 5 years or so the cordless "pro" model drills have gotten so incredibly strong that I couldn't tell you the last time I used/needed a corded drill. I can run 6" hole saws through any timber (tripled up 2"x/sheeted, double LVL, e.t.c...) & it'll turn a 5 gal bucket of mud without getting hot. A trick on cordless drill drivers can be to set the drill chuck to "screw" and set to its' highest number allowing the chuck to slip. Most often user input & a brace is far superior, but if you're on a "pick" in the wind, or crammed in some godless crevice, where if the drill gets away from ya, you're going to have just successfully installed yourself a set of Summer Teeth...it's a viable solution. I also often drill steel (beams, columns, posts, e.t.c.) anywhere from 1/4"-3/8" pilot & ream to size. ... Any techniques/equipment you'd reccomend for a carpentry/construction outfit to sharpen 135° split point cobalt twist drill bits?

[@mikelastname]

Great to see the repeat tests - I buy a bit not for one hole, but for many so seeing the difference in longevity was instructive. Really interesting seeing so much variability in the same geometry and metallurgy, e.g. M42, I guess this means the machining, hardening and tempering process is at least as important as the alloy used. Thank so much for doing this test - I have been keenly waiting for it.

Thanks for always doing these unbiased reviews... But you left out the best brand I have found at Lowe's... Spyder Drill Bits. A couple of years ago we were putting new flooring into a toy hauler. I couldn't get self tappers to go in the beans, and so we decided to drill them. Every single drill bit would break. We went to Lowe's and bought multiple sets. Finally, we bought these funky blue gimmicky looking bits. Go back to the shop and started drilling. Finally, we got 1 hole drilled and it didn't snap. Success... Kept drilling and drilled the entire floor with that one single bit. I have been a fan since then. So idk if it was just stronger, or if it would compete drilling speed wise as well with these.

The dewalt pilot points really shine when drilling thin metals. They will produce a nice round hole with minimal burr, so i just use them just for that as I have no way to resharpen them as a pilot point. For thicker or harder to drill metal i have an old set of craftsman split point cobalts that i use. I have some cheapie bright finish 118 degree drills i use for the household soft stuff.

[@tothesummit5864]

I had a project a few years ago that required drilling through some pretty gnarly stainless steel. After ruining several bits with nothing to show I resorted to ragged holes with a plasma cutter. I then proceeded to do a bunch of research and in the end bought a complete set of high-end bits. I still keep boxes of the Dewalt HSS bits on hand for most projects. They are inexpensive and work well for most things and i don't fret when I ruin one. As for the high-end bits, I ended up with a complete set of Drill Hog bits. When I say complete I mean complete. They sell a 123 piece set that contains every size fraction bit you could ask for as well as Letter sizes (A-Z) and Number sizes(1-60 wire gauge). Drill Hog makes this set in a high molybdenum bit that will chew through just about anything you can imagine. Expensive, yes. But heres the trick. Even though this set retails for $1000 Drill Hog almost always has it on sale at their website. As of the writing of this comment that $1000 set is on sale for less than $400. Yes $400 is still a lot of money but you will have every size bit you will ever need in a high quality, USA made bit that will drill any hole you ask of it. And Drill Hog has a lifetime gaurantee to the original purchaser of the bits so no need to fret if one gets broken. I think a one-time purchase to eliminate a lifetime of drilling headaches is worth $400. And you still have those cheap Dewalt bits around to a use on things that aren't critical jobs.

Specifically reading thru comments for stainless steel references as I couldn’t get through tiny SS 1/8th thick bracket with any of numerous random bits. Likely buying the Spyder Stinger Mach-Blue 10-Piece Assorted High-speed Steel bits from Lowe’s today since daily deal is $10 off for $29.98 price. Any experience with those?

[@nemodetroit]

@@8m617 I think PF should do a test of drilling stainless, too. It's different than hardened steel. If you don't have a drill press or mag-base drill, it's very difficult to keep the proper drill pressure for stainless no matter how good your bit is.

[@8m617]

@@nemodetroit hey nemo, any other tips regarding stainless for a newbie as those 1/8th SS brackets humbled me good. I did buy the Mach Blue spider stingers months ago but they are in the drawer until this fall when I attempt the brackets again lol. I did buy a neighbors drill press recently and I’ve never used one before, but I’ll make it a point to break it in with the items I just mentioned just based on your comment. Constant even pressure and cutting oil help me? or is it just keeping the bit super straight via the drill press that’s the trick? Thx for any advice.

[@nemodetroit]

@@8m617 I'm not a machinist, but have drilled a decent amount of SS on the advice of some actual machinists. It's actually more the higher and constant pressure that a drill press (or mill) can deliver, rather than keeping a bill "straight". If you let off the pressure (which is almost inevitable with a handheld drill), the bit can rub, which heats up and work hardens the SS, making it much harder to then punch through. It's difficult to accomplish that with a handheld drill. The bit needs to be biting in and cutting the whole time. High pressure and slow(er) RPM speed seems to work for me on a drill press. A good cobalt bit definitely helps, too.

[@marcseclecticstuff9497]

I've been involved in machining for 45+ years, they're the set I would purchase. Reasonable price, quality steel Huot case, appeared to suffer the least damage, made in USA by Cleveland Twist Drill, and are traditional 135° split-point so they don't walk as much and can be re-sharpened on my Black Diamond drill grinder. One aspect that wasn't covered was accuracy of the hole size. As the lips get damaged they will start pulling the bit off-center causing a poorer surface finish and a larger hole. I was also disappointed that one of my personal favorite manufacturers Chicago Latrobe weren't represented in this test. I have a C-L #1-80 drill index I've been using in my shop for 40 years on mostly mild steels and some 4140 and O1 tool steels. They've held up remarkably well, I've rarely needed to re-sharpen them. I've always use Rapid Tap cutting oil anytime I'm drilling steels (A1 on alum) which reduces drilling forces and greatly extends the life of the drill bit.

[@GregBadabinski]

​​@@marcseclecticstuff9497 nowadays, the same company owns Cleveland, Cle-Line, and Chicago Latrobe. They're all functionally identical, and they all use the same lovely Huot cases. I started off my machining hobby with a set of Chicago Latrobe drills and didn't know how good I had it until I made the mistake of getting one of those godforsaken no-name import number/letter/fractional drill size kits. After I ruined at least 3 projects, I replaced it with the equivalent Chicago Latrobe kit, and the 3x price increase was well worth it. All this to say, it seems like the corporate merger of those three brands doesn't seem to have ruined the quality of them. Always nice when that happens.

[@danielbackley9301]

@@marcseclecticstuff9497Yep! The holes have visible tool markings in just about all of them . When drilling metal cutting fluid should be uses more often then just a drop on the metal. That is the reason most production machines regardless of type have coolant tanks/sumps and pumps to ensure tool life.

[@marcseclecticstuff9497]

@@danielbackley9301 Production demands are actually very different. The coolant certainly does provide some lubrication, but it serves 2 more important functions. First, it's for cooling the tooling. As the tool gets hotter it expands. If you have a big boring bar on a finish cut and it's really hot, you'll oversize the bore. This is also the reason why most CNC machine centers circulate oil around the outside of the spindle and run it thru a chiller to try to keep the spindle at a constant temperature. Some machines even use a chiller on the ball screw bearing blocks to keep their temperatures stable. Secondly, and more importantly in some cases, is chip evacuation. When drilling deep holes you have to keep the chips flushed out of the hole. If they pack around the drill it will start galling the inside of the hole and left unchecked will cause the tool to seize inside the bore and breaking the tool. Most of our machines have thru-coolant spindles with high pressure coolant pumps that feed them. Ours are typically set to 1000psi with the smallest tools, bigger tools with more or larger passages causes the pressure to drop down proportionately. We run a lot of gun drills, some as deep as 24" or so and if the thru-coolant fails, they will quickly start to gall and seize. Most modern production coolants use synthetic oils that emulsify in water and look like watery milk. It's nasty stuff for most plastics and rubbers. Plastics tend to get brittle and crack, rubbers suck it up like a sponge, expand, and turn into goo. I had a current probe attachment for my meter that sat in my toolbox that started cracking and falling apart after about 10 years. I'm very good about cleaning all my tools, especially my expensive test gear and it made no difference. Even being in my box in the maintenance department there is still enough coolant mist floating around to affect it. In my home shop I've never used coolant - too much of a PITA to deal with and I'm simply not in a big hurry to do things. For instance, if I'm drilling a deep hole I simply withdraw the drill constantly to clear the chips. If I'm doing something that needs a high degree of precision, I make sure I let the part cool down before making a finishing cut to size. I've used Rapid Tap for the 40+ years I've been whittling metal at home, it's served me well. Not only does it reduce wear in tooling, it also reduces cutting loads. Try drilling a 1/2" hole in steel dry, then drill another using a good quality cutting fluid and the difference in feed pressure is quite noticeable. For tapping I prefer a dark cutting oil with a high sulfur content. Unfortunately, the stuff I've tried in the past 20 years just doesn't work nearly as well as the stuff I used to get in the late 70's and 80's so I just use Rapid Tap now. At work they stock Cimtap which I never really cared for. It's very sticky so it stays on the tool, but it also sticks to the ways of the machine, collects fines and they get drug under the wipers and trash the machine ways. Not an issue for true machinists who would keep the ways cleaned off, but in a factory full of Bubba's that are too lazy to wipe their own a$$, it's a machine death sentence.

A big factor on drill bit life is spindle run out and work holding. If you have poor runout or your work is flapping around it won't last as long. Carbide is king in a rigid set up. HSS is best for poor runout/workholding.

Hey Project Farm, I think that if you're going to do torque testing, you should come up with a test rig that keeps the torsion completely in-plane so it doesn't become shear or bending moment on the drill bits or other long, slender shapes. It doesn't take much to offset the load in ways they're not meant to handle (or at least, ways that you're aiming to test), and that can make your tests less consistent.
