Drill Listing and part of Newman Tools history

drills

 

Over the years Newman Tools tools has stocked many type of drills that most people didn’t even know exist. From 1955 to 2003 we were located in Montreal which used to have a large manufacturing base. Car and truck manufacturing, aircraft , aircraft engine, trains, shipbuilding, bridge builders, machine builders, parts for the mining and pulp and paper industries, plastic fabrication, model makers, automotive parts, textiles and the list goes on and on.  That was beside the maintenance departments of large factories that used to have their own machine shop.  There was a lot of metal cutting done using drills.

 

We were the one stock supplier for machine shop tools. Everything except the machine.
Therefore   we had lots of drills. We had blanket order with Dominion Bridge ( they built  bridges ) and every morning on the way to work I would delivery drills that were ordered the day before.
There was the golden mile in Lachine. Dominion Bridge, Dominion Engineering , Dominion Steel & Coal Corporation (DOSCO) , Dominion Textiles.  Allis Chalmers, Harrington Tool and Die, Jenkins Valves, Tamper Electric, Northern Electric and Godrey Engineering (my father’s first customer).

Therefore when I started organizing drills that I had brought from Montreal over twenty years ago. It’s like looking at old photos. Except I remember who used which type of drill.
I’m transgressing, I was supposed to explain the different of drills that we still have in stock.

 

DR-“size”
Jobber drill. This is the standard HSS ( high speed steel ) straight shank drill.

 DR-“size”BL
Drill blank. This is just the blank before the flutes are ground into the drill.
These are used to make a special drill or used as a gauge to measure holes.

DR-“size”CO
Jobber drill. This is the standard straight shank drill but made of cobalt. This don’t lose their temper at high temperature than the normal drill.
This drill is excellent for drill stainless steel or application where the standard drill are dulling quickly. Their disadvantage is that they are more brittle than the  HSS and break easier.
They also cost more than the HSS drills.

DR-“size”COTL
Cobalt Taper length drill. These drills are longer than the jobber length drills.

DR-“size”COTS
Cobalt Drills with a morse taper shank. This drill is excellent for drill stainless steel or application where the standard drill are dulling quickly. Their disadvantage is that they are more brittle than the  HSS and break easier.
They also cost more than the HSS drills.

 

 

DR-“size”CT
Carbide Tipped jobber drill. These are not usually used for steel. They are for abrasive materials.

DR-“size”CTDIE
Carbide tipped drill for drilling hardened metal. ( I image it gots it’s name for drilling dies which were hardened)

 

DR-“size”CTGL
Carbide tipped drill for drilling glass and tile. Not our specialty but they were supplied from the same drill mfg. I think nowadays s most drilling of glass and tile is done with diamond tools.

 

DR-“size”CTTS
Carbide Tipped Drills with a morse taper shank. These are not usually used for steel. They are for abrasive materials.

 

DR-“size”HARD
This was a type of drill made of material (HARDSTEEL)  that would drill hardened metal. It creates so much heat that the metal loses it’s hardness.   

DR-“size”LH
This drill cuts left hand. Jobber drill  HSS ( high speed steel ) straight shank drill.

DR-“size”LHST
This drill cuts left hand. Stub drill  is shorter than the jobber drill and therefore more ridgid.

DR-“size”MAS
This is a carbide tipped masonary drill. For drilling masonary, brick, cement. This is not a precision drill.

DR-“size”M
This is a solid carbide monarch drill for hardened steel. It is similar in used as the solid carbide spade drill but it has straight flutes and can drill deeper than the spade drill.

DR-“size”PARA
This a paraflute drill. Also known a parabolic flute. The flute design give it more space for chip removal when drilling. Excellent for aluminium.

 

DR-"size"PR 

Prentice drill, silver and deming (1/2" shank) usually for drill larger than 1/2" .

DR-“size”QS
This is a quick spiral or high helix drill. Excellent for aluminium.

DR-“size”QSTL
Quick Spiral Taper length drill. These drills are longer than the jobber length drills.

 

DR-“size”SC
This is a solid carbide drill. Not recommend for steel. It is designed for production drill of non ferrous and abrasive materials.
Being solid carbide this tool is very hard but very brittle. If used by hand it will just break.

DR-“size”SCST
Solid carbide stub drill. This is  the same as the solid carbide drill but shorter. More ridgid because it is shorter.

DR-“size”SL
Slow spiral drill. Used for drilling rubber and plastics.

DR-“size”SP
Solid carbide spade drill. Used for drilling hardened steel.  These do not have flutes. It looks like a spade with two flatted sides coming to a drill point.

DR-“size”TP
A taper pin drill. Designed to  drill holes for the taper pin reamers. I can’t remember selling this in 50 years, probably didn’t know we had it.

DR-“size”TL
Taper length drill. These drills are longer than the jobber length drills.

DR-“size”X”length”
Extra long drills.

 

DR-“size”X”length”A
Aircraft Extra long drills. These have short flute length than the extra long drills. They are more rigid than extra long drill but cannot drill deep. More for reaching.

 

DR-“size”X”length”TS
Extra long drills.with taper shank
