This is a lot of dough, but if it's the last set I buy, it'll be worth it. Their set of bits from 1/16 to 1/2 in 64's increment is $169.50. All of their sets have stellar reviews (21 reviews with 19 5's and 2 4's in one case). Moderators : Delete the following if deemed too commercial.Īfter looking around, I am going to buy a set of USA made M45's by Chicago Latrobe from Amazon. Also, they work best when used in an environment of controlled speed and pressure (think drill press). Cobalt bits usually have shallower flutes and a more robust shafts than regular bits, which makes clearing chips a little more difficult. This also makes them more brittle and prone to breakage. The M45's, having a higher percentage of cobalt are a little harder and more heat resistant than M32's. The M32 bits are 5% cobalt, while the M45 bits are 8% cobalt. These are both cobalt/steel alloys, so they can be sharpened and not lose their hardness and heat resistant qualities. I believe they would be overkill in our garages. I don't think we have to concern ourselves with M56 bits as the are very hard and brittle, expensive, and difficult to find. The coated bits have the same problems as the coated titanium bits as they are just coated. Cobalt bits come in 4 types coated, M32, M45, and M56. I've looked a little harder at cobalt bits, and to me, they look like the answer. What Doug said about titanium coated bits is the same as what I've found they are good until they need to be sharpened (or the coating wears off), and the you have just another HSS bit even if you do sharpen it. "I have done a bit more research on drill bits. Here's what I posted on the "'32-'53 Flathead" site about six years ago. Most drill bits are High Speed Steel, sometimes with varying coatings (titanium or cobalt the most common). The type of drill bit is more important than the manufacturer. There are several different types of drill bits with different qualities. Seriously.All drill bits are not created equal.
