What is the BROWNELLS - SOLID CARBIDE DRILL BIT?

SOLID CARBIDE DRILL BIT


The Brownells Solid Carbide Drill Bit is a precision-engineered tool designed to tackle the challenges of drilling into hardened steel components commonly encountered in firearms, such as the 03A3 receivers. Its specialized single-flute design ensures clean, accurate holes without causing chatter or work hardening, making it an indispensable asset for professional gunsmiths.


Key Features:

  • Single-Flute Design: This unique design allows the drill to cut clean chips in the hardest file steel, ensuring true and precise holes without causing chatter or crumbling of the material.
  • Optimal Length: Measuring 2 inches in length, the drill provides adequate quill clearance when used with scope or sight mounting jigs, facilitating ease of use in various gunsmithing setups.
  • Efficient Performance: When properly maintained, the drill resists binding or breaking. Its design prevents work hardening of the hole surface, thereby reducing the likelihood of tap breakage during subsequent threading operations.


Specifications:

  • Material: Solid carbide construction for enhanced durability and longevity.
  • Available Sizes:
    • No. 31 (6-48)
    • No. 28 (8-40)
  • Recommended Usage: Ideal for drilling through hardened steels; not recommended for use in softer steels. Should be employed when other drills have failed or when the hardness of the steel is known to be challenging.

Carbide drill #31
I have not used this # yet, I am replacing another brand that did not do the job and was way too short, but it is 2" in length and if it cuts like the #28 I used on a 03A3 receiver, it's worth the price. Thank you

Solid carbide drill
Nothing is more irritating than trying to get a scope base drilled in a hardened rifle receiver and having the hole oversized due to drill walking. This carbide drill solves that problem handily. Bites right in!
