February 2024 Tip: Parts of a Drill Bit

By

As a machinist, it's important to know the names and location of each part of a drill bit. Because each part has a specific function, and knowing the functions makes them easier and safer to use. I'm providing a basic download to help you better understand drill bit nomenclature. Please contact me if you're unable to download this simple tool. More on drill bits will be available next month. Until then, take care.

This app is one of the best things that has ever happened to the iPhone. The creator of the app, Ernest Brock, was very helpful and was always quick to respond to my questions.
