Deep Reach Drilling for Steel, Timber & Industrial Trade Work

Deep drilling jobs expose weak drill bits fast. Standard bits flex, wander & lose cutting performance once material thickness increases or access becomes restricted. Across workshops, fabrication sites & industrial maintenance environments, poor drilling accuracy quickly turns into wasted labour, damaged materials & unnecessary downtime.

Bordo Long Drill Bits are engineered for Australian tradies needing dependable extended-length drilling performance across steel, timber, alloy & fabrication materials. Whether you're drilling structural framing, creating access penetrations, fabricating brackets or handling repetitive workshop drilling, these long series drill bits deliver cleaner drilling control with the reach needed for demanding trade applications.

Built around heavy-duty workshop use, Bordo HSS long drill bits help reduce vibration, improve chip evacuation & maintain drilling accuracy through deeper materials. Mechanics, builders, fitters, electricians, plumbers & fabrication crews rely on long reach drill bits when standard drill bits simply cannot reach the work properly.

For complete drilling performance, pair this collection with Drill Accessories, Drills & Concrete Cutting & Drilling Tools.

Why Long Drill Bits Improve Workflow Efficiency

Long series drill bits are designed to improve drilling access, reduce setup interruptions & maintain drilling alignment through thicker materials. On active jobsites, that translates directly into faster fit-off work, reduced downtime & cleaner finished results.

Extended-length drill bits also improve workflow efficiency by reducing the need to reposition materials during drilling. Tradies drilling steel frames, timber beams, machinery housings or fabricated components benefit from greater drilling reach without sacrificing control.

A properly matched HSS long drill bit helps:

  • Improve swarf evacuation

  • Reduce drilling heat buildup

  • Maintain cleaner drilling accuracy

  • Lower operator fatigue

  • Improve drilling consistency across repetitive tasks

Low-quality alternatives commonly create:

  • Excessive flex under load

  • Burnt cutting edges

  • Rough hole finishes

  • Poor chip evacuation

  • Bit breakage during deep drilling

  • Slower drilling speeds

To improve workshop productivity & drilling performance, many buyers also add Markers & Pencils, Power Tool Batteries & Chargers & Metal Cutting & Grinding Tools.

Long Series Drill Bits vs Standard Drill Bits

Standard Drill Bits

Standard drill bits work well for shallow drilling applications where drilling depth & access are not major concerns.

Long Series Drill Bits

Long series drill bits are specifically engineered for deep-hole drilling through thicker materials or confined access areas. They provide extended drilling reach while helping tradies maintain better drilling alignment & cutting stability.

What Is a Long Series Drill Bit?

A long series drill bit is an extended-length drill bit designed for deeper penetration through steel, timber, alloy or fabricated materials where standard drill bits cannot effectively reach.

HSS vs Standard Carbon Steel Drill Bits

HSS long drill bits offer greater heat resistance, stronger cutting durability & improved drilling performance compared to standard carbon steel drill bits. For repetitive industrial drilling, HSS provides better long-term value & cleaner drilling consistency.

Built Around Real Trade Applications

Automotive & Mechanical

Long reach drill bits help mechanics access engine bays, brackets, chassis sections & confined repair areas without excessive disassembly.

Construction & Site Work

Builders use long timber drill bits for framing penetrations, structural drilling & repetitive fit-off tasks across commercial projects.

Electrical & Service Work

Extended-length drill bits simplify conduit access, cable routing & service penetrations through layered construction materials.

Industrial Maintenance

Maintenance crews rely on deep-hole drill bits for shutdown repairs, fabrication modifications & difficult-access machinery servicing.

How to Choose the Right Long Drill Bit

Choosing the correct long drill bit depends on drilling depth, material type, drill RPM, hole diameter & required drilling accuracy. Matching the right bit to the application improves productivity while reducing heat, vibration & premature wear.

Recommended Buying Tips

✔ Choose HSS long drill bits for workshop durability
✔ Match drill length to material thickness
✔ Pilot holes improve drilling accuracy
✔ Reduce drill RPM for larger drilling diameters
✔ Clear swarf regularly during deep drilling

Add Bolts & Fasteners when preparing structural fixing, fabrication assembly or hardware installation work.

Trade Tip

For cleaner deep-hole drilling through steel, start with a pilot hole, maintain steady RPM & regularly back the bit out to improve chip evacuation. Excessive pressure usually creates more heat, not faster drilling.
