USA-Made M42 Cobalt Drill Bits Built for Stainless Steel, Hard Alloys & Demanding Metalworking Applications – 21pc
1/16″ through 3/8″ by 64ths
Super Sonic™ M42 Cobalt Drill Bits represent the highest performance tier in the Super Sonic lineup. Manufactured from premium M42 cobalt steel and built to NAS 907J aerospace specifications, these drill bits are engineered for demanding drilling applications where heat resistance, wear resistance, and tool life matter most.
Covering sizes from 1/16″ through 3/8″ by 64ths, this 21-piece fractional jobber drill bit set delivers professional-grade performance for machinists, fabricators, maintenance departments, aerospace applications, and serious metalworking professionals.
M42 cobalt provides exceptional heat resistance and durability when drilling stainless steel, hardened steel, tool steel, titanium, Inconel®, and other difficult materials. The precision-ground 135° split point starts fast, reduces walking, and produces accurate holes with less effort, while the premium gold surface treatment helps reduce friction and improve drilling performance.
Full round shanks provide maximum concentricity and reliable performance in both handheld and machine-driven applications. Whether used in CNC machines, drill presses, or portable drills, Super Sonic™ M42 drill bits are built for applications where consistent results and long service life are critical.
Manufactured in the USA and designed for professionals who demand more from their tooling, this set covers the most commonly used fractional sizes through 3/8″, providing an ideal balance of capability, performance, and value.
