Armstrong cobalt drill bits are designed for drilling into tough metals like stainless steel and hardened steel. They are made from high-speed steel with a cobalt alloy, which provides increased heat and abrasion resistance. These bits typically feature a 118-degree split-point tip for accurate positioning and reduced drilling pressure. Armstrong cobalt drill bits are often sold in sets or by the tube.
Key Features and Specifications:
