Stub Drill Bits

Stub Drill Bits for Rigid, Accurate Hole Starts

Stub drill bits feature a shorter overall length that improves rigidity and drilling control when starting holes in metal and other materials. In applications where brittle materials require extra control, some setups may also use straight flute drill bits to help reduce grabbing and chipping. The compact design helps minimize flex and breakage during precise machining, fabrication, and repair work.

For creating pilot holes or guiding fasteners in certain materials, technicians may also turn to tapered drill bits that gradually widen the entry point. Sheet metal installation and fabrication work may also involve step drill bits that expand holes smoothly in thin materials. Check out our quality drilling tools at JB Tools.
