Cutting Tools Outlet Guides

HSS and carbide end mills offer different balances of toughness, speed, rigidity and tool life.

Spiral-flute taps pull chips out of blind holes and can improve chip evacuation in deep internal threads.

Cut pattern changes how a carbide burr removes material, controls chips and finishes a surface.

Spiral-point taps drive chips forward and are commonly selected for through holes in machine tapping.

Spline-shank hammer bits fit compatible older-generation hammers and remain useful for demolition and concrete work.

SDS-Max is a larger hammer-bit shank system intended for compatible heavier rotary hammers.

Clean arbors, pilots, magnets and coolant systems improve reliability and reduce downtime.

Left-hand drill selection depends on fastener size, access, flute length and machine reversal.

Size systems and replenishment habits determine how quickly a set stays usable.

Thin metal requires a cutter that starts cleanly and leaves an edge ready for installation.

Anchor holes require the correct bit system, diameter, depth and dust-control method.

Reamer size follows the desired finished hole, allowance and tolerance.
