Drilling Through Steel Lintels

Drilling through steel lintels can be tricky, we have a number of suggestions to make it easier.

When you hit a steel lintel use a Titanium Coated Bit such as the example on the left.

If it gets tricky swap between the Titanium and the Bullet Tip such as third example as they will start cutting again as you are changing the shape of the cut.

The second bit from the left is a cobalt bit which is for very hard libels such as Stainless Steel.

With all metal drill bits a cooling paste will also stop the bit overheating and so keep it cutting effectively.
