Slow Helix Drill Bits

Slow Helix Drill Bits for Hard Metals & Chip Control

Slow helix drill bits are designed for drilling hard metals where controlled cutting and chip removal are critical. The reduced spiral angle helps manage chips and limit heat buildup when working with stainless steel and other tough alloys, making them useful in machining and fabrication environments. Shops that also handle larger hole sizes often keep silver & deming drill bits on hand for wider diameters in metal.

Different drilling jobs may call for specialized cutting styles. For softer materials or stable cutting conditions, many technicians use straight flute drill bits. Sheet metal installation and fabrication work may also involve step drill bits that expand holes gradually without damaging thin material.
