Holemaking
From broaches to drilling to countersinks to reamers (and much more!) DXP has the hole-making tools you need to fulfill any holemaking application. You’ll always find exactly what you need right here at DXP.
Broaches
Broaches are designed in a bar shape and include several teeth that work in a one-pass operation. Broach teeth can increase in shape or height from their starting end. Dimensions of these holemaking tools include rotary broaches, square broaches, and hexagonal broaches. Industrial broaches are typically used to machine splines, keyways, and other shapes. Contact us to place an order for broaching tool bits today.

Center Drills
Center drills are frequently used to create holes for a lathe center so that a live center can be used to support the load of the job while it turns. The hole angle of a center drill bit is generally 60 degrees, and the two-part tip has a small pilot in addition to a countersinking area.

Counterbores
When you need a fastener like a washer or socket head cap screw to sit flush with the surface of your workpiece, a counterbore is the perfect holemaking tool for the job. Counterbores will generally have two cutting diameters – a smaller diameter for the drilled hole and a wider diameter for the recessed head cavity. Contact our team to place an order today!

Countersinks & Chamfering
Looking for an industrial holemaking tool capable of creating a conical hole in an object? Countersinks and chamfers are the right drill bit for the job. These conical bits allow bolts or screws to sit flush with your workpiece and can also be used as a sort of router for workpiece edges and deburring.

Reamers
Reamers can come in configurations such as right-hand spiral, left-hand spiral, straight flute, or for machines. These rotary holemaking tools are perfect for enlarging existing holes by very small amounts with an extremely high degree of accuracy.

Drilling & Drill Bits
We carry industrial drill bits in all shapes and sizes from a very large pool of suppliers. Contact us to place an order today, and we’ll work with drill bit suppliers that are highly rated for the shape and material you’re looking for.

Hole Cutters
Need to cut a perfectly round hole in your workpiece? Hole cutters (or hole saws) can cut holes with larger diameters than standard drill bits. Hole cutters only have to cut the perimeter of the hole and can be much more efficient than standard drill bits depending on your application. Contact our team to place an order today!
