Welcome to Beta Tools by Unipac, your trusted source for high-quality twist drill bits. Our extensive collection of precision-engineered drill bits is designed to meet the needs of professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike. With our exceptional twist drill bits, you can achieve precise and clean drilling results in various materials, making every project a success. The purpose of a twist drill is to create cylindrical holes in various materials such as metal, wood, plastic, and composites. They are characterised by their spiral-shaped grooves, which are called flutes, and a pointed tip. When the twist drill is rotated, the flutes evacuate chips from the hole while the sharp tip cuts into the material, resulting in the formation of a hole. Here are some specific purposes and applications of twist drills:

• Metalworking: drills are commonly used in metalworking industries for drilling holes in metal sheets, plates, bars, and profiles. These holes may be used for fastening components together, creating openings for bolts, screws, or rivets, or for various machining operations.
• Woodworking: drills are employed for drilling holes in wooden boards, planks, and panels. These holes may be used for joinery, furniture making, installation of hardware such as hinges and handles, or for decorative purposes.
• Plastic and Composite Materials: drills can be used to make holes in plastic and composite materials. These materials often require specialised twist drills with suitable geometries and coatings to prevent overheating and ensure clean hole formation.
• Construction: drilling holes in concrete, masonry, and other building materials. They are commonly used for installing anchors, dowels, and fasteners, as well as for creating openings for plumbing, electrical, and HVAC installations.
• DIY and Home Improvement: drills are essential tools for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners for various projects around the house, including hanging shelves, installing curtain rods, mounting pictures, and assembling furniture.

Twist drills with cylindrical shanks are versatile drill bits designed for various drilling applications, including drilling wood and cutting through tough metals. Made from high-speed steel (HSS) or coated with titanium nitride for enhanced durability, these drill bit types feature spiral flutes running along their length, allowing efficient chip removal and reducing heat buildup during drilling. With sharp cutting edges and cutting lips, twist drills can create precise holes of various diameters, making them suitable for both small and large hole drilling tasks. Whether drilling nonferrous metals or hard materials, twist drill bits provide high-speed and accurate drilling, making them indispensable tools in workshops and construction sites alike.

• Length: Pay attention to the overall length of the twist drill. Longer twist drills may be necessary for drilling deeper holes or reaching inaccessible areas.
• Coating: Some twist drills come with coatings such as titanium nitride (TiN) or black oxide to enhance durability and reduce friction during drilling. Consider whether you need a coated twist drill for improved performance.
• Flute Design: The flute design of a twist drill affects chip evacuation and heat dissipation during drilling. Choose a twist drill with spiral flutes for efficient chip removal and reduced heat buildup.
• Brand and Quality: Invest in twist drills from reputable brands known for their quality and reliability. High-quality twist drills made from premium materials will last longer and provide better performance.
• Price: While price shouldn't be the sole factor in your decision, consider your budget and balance it with the quality and features of the twist drill you're considering.
