Long Drill Bits

AIMS Industrial sells long series and extra-long drill bits for deep-hole drilling in metal, timber and composite materials where standard jobber-length drills cannot reach. Our range from Sutton Tools and Bordo covers diameters from 2 mm to 25 mm in HSS and HSS-Co for through-hole and extended-depth applications.

Long Drill Bit Types

  • Long series (taper shank): Extended-length HSS drills with Morse taper shanks for deep-hole work in drill presses and radial arm drills — available in MT1 to MT4.
  • Extra-long jobber drills: Straight-shank long drills in 150–300 mm OAL for through-holes in structural sections, plates and long components in standard chucks.
  • Aircraft extension drills: Narrow-diameter (3–6 mm) drills in 150–300 mm OAL for reaching fastener locations in aircraft and automotive structural assemblies.
  • Masonry long drills: Extended SDS-plus and round shank carbide-tip masonry bits for drilling through thick concrete walls, columns and posts.
  • Wood auger extensions: Long-shank auger bits for boring holes through multiple wall and floor members from a single access point in building construction.

Application and Technique

  • Chip clearance: Retract the drill frequently to clear chips from deep holes — chip packing in long holes causes sudden torque spikes and bit breakage.
  • Cutting speed: Reduce spindle speed by 25–30% for long drills compared to standard jobber length — deflection and whip increase with flute length.
  • Coolant: Apply through-tool or flood coolant for deep-hole drilling in steel — heat build-up in long flutes is the primary cause of premature failure.
  • Pilot drilling: Pre-drill with a short drill to the diameter of the long drill's web — pilot holes reduce deflection and improve entry accuracy in long drills.
