This page lists our range of quality high speed steel drill bits.

The range is specifically designed to cover the tapping drill sizes and clearance hole sizes for the range of taps list.
The use of the correct drill size is crucial to successful tapping and tap life and some of the sizes below are difficult to obtain on the high street.

The tap drill sizes quoted as standard ('Std') are the tap manufacturers recommended size for full thread engagement.
For many hobby and non-critical applications, a larger size tap drill can be used to give less thread engagement
but reduced the risk of tap breakage - this may be preferable when tapping the smaller size threads, particularly if you are new to thread tapping.
These drills are listed as Increased clearance ('Inc Clearance') and will result in approximately 65% thread engagement

Please note that though we try to keep the data below up to date, lengths of drill bits occasionally vary.
If the length is critical, please e mail us for confirmation.

 If the size you need isn't listed please e mail us with your requirements.
