Jobber Drill Bits
When choosing the correct jobber drill bit it’s important to consider the application, the thickness of the material and also the type of material.
Alpha has a range of jobber drill bits that can tackle a plethora of different materials and applications with some drill bits that can nearly do it all.
The Alpha Silver Series is ideal for general-purpose drilling in steel, wood and plastic. When it comes to tackling tougher jobs like drilling through hardwoods, treated timber, mild steel and hard steel, our top picks for optimal performance would be the Alpha Gold Series, Alpha Black Series and the Onsite+ Impact Step Tip Drill Bit range.
Our best-selling Alpha Gold Series Drill Bits are a fan favourite, and it’s no surprise why. These versatile all-rounders can handle a wide range of materials and applications with ease.
Not only does it have fully ground M2 HSS like the Alpha Silver Series, but it also has a titanium nitride coating which reduces heat and increases lubricity.
Additionally, this drill bit has an increased 135° split point which reduces wandering during drilling and has undergone rigorous testing, demonstrating a remarkable performance beating other market standard drill bits by over 30%.
The Alpha Black Series Drill Bits feature a tempered black oxide finish which means friction is significantly reduced between the bit and the workpiece. This feature makes it particularly well-suited for drilling through harder materials.
For those tradies who are wanting to get the job done fast and don’t care for pilot holes, then the Alpha Onsite Plus Impact Step Tip Drill has got you covered. It’s the latest innovation from Alpha and has left the trade industries in awe.
This product is a game changer, guaranteed to drill six times faster than the market standard, stay sharper for longer with its unique step tip design, and create the perfect, burr-free hole.
Stainless steel is a tough material, and drilling through it requires even tougher tools. For such jobs, make sure to choose either our recently developed Alpha Stainless Plus Drill Bits. Perfect for welders, fabricators, sheet metal workers, pipe fitters, machinists, metal workers or any tradie that is looking for a strong and durable drill bit that can handle the relentless nature of stainless steel.
When dealing with exceptionally hard metals like Hardox, Bisaloy and hi-tensile steel, standard drill bits won’t suffice. Instead, choose the Alpha Cobalt Series Drill Bits, which boast an impressive 5% cobalt content and are specially formulated to offer enhanced heat resistance and increased strength for drilling through the toughest of materials.
Alpha has a diverse selection of drill bits which encompass a variety of different types and functionalities including reduced shank, hex shank, long drill bits, sets and kits, single and double-end panel drills, stub drills, morse taper shank drills, screw extractor bits, spot weld drills and step drills.
