HSS Steam Tempered Drills

A Dormer Steam Tempered drill bit is a type of High-Speed Steel (HSS) drill bit that has undergone a steam tempering process. This process involves exposing the drill bit to steam at high temperatures, which hardens the surface and improves its wear resistance

Here are some key differences and benefits compared to a standard HSS drill bit:

  1. Enhanced Durability: The steam tempering process increases the hardness of the drill bit, making it more resistant to wear and tear. This means it can maintain its sharpness for a longer period, even under demanding drilling conditions.
  2. Improved Performance: Steam-tempered drill bits are better at retaining cutting fluid and preventing chip-to-tool welding, which helps in smoother and more efficient drilling.
  3. Versatility: These drill bits are suitable for drilling into a variety of materials, including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals.

Overall, Dormer Steam Tempered drill bits offer better performance and longevity compared to standard HSS drill bits, making them a great choice for more demanding applications.
