It's cool this came up in my recommend videos. You guys make one heck of a good product. I've been slowly switching over to Triumph for the least few years and couldn't be happier.
Many Thanks for sharing your video , I've often wondered as to how drill bits were made & know I have an idea but it'd be great to see how the cutting edges are actually done within the machines so I can get a much better understanding of how it done ; we don't get these here in Oz ( Australia ) but they look like they're much better quality than what we can get here.
I would never be so careless with the tools we make. But ours are for the aerospace industry and they are carbide. There is no way they are the Best. But we probably have different uses.
@@zekeabercrombie3583 we make everything drills, endmills, taper endmills, reamers. Lollipops, boring bars. carbide has a tendency to chip and fracture. I'm not saying they are bad tools, I'm just saying we would never stack tools like that. We would have a bunch of scrap if we did.
While it would be nice to see the grooves actually being made, the machine that does that part looks incredibly bulky. Actually viewing the process might be impossible.
I run a Walters helitronic power machine. We use a collet and a 220 grit grinding wheel with a -10 degree angle. We grind everything. You can go to a.b. tools they use a anca cnc machine.
Cool to see the whole process. Been using drill bits my whole adult life but I've never seen one made until now. A lot of steps! I need one of those indexes!
The only reason I searched for this is to see how the flutes are cut. Legitimately everything else is explained well, while the fluting is just skipped.
The tool is put in a collet with a rotating a axis. We dress a grinding wheel with a -10 degree wheel. The end is where the real action is. Different tool lengths and diameters can make this tricky, Small diameter long tools are the worst.

the heat treat is the secret to a good drill. i remember years ago when foreign drills came into the US, the heat treat was almost non existent, they even bent. some of the cheap ones today are soft still
Saw a video by iscar of bits that are made for coolant flow through. The bits are fluted straight and the coolant holes made in the web between flutes and then the whole bit is twisted mechanically into a spiral.
' what name of company made the drill set... first mild = soft steel then cutting / grinding the drill and put hot temperature to make the drill very harden stronger metal
Drill bits smaller than 0.177" are bulked into a basket that is then put into the heat treat process. Larger drill bits are suspended in arrays with the end that is gripped by the drill chuck gripped in the array. The video showed an array of larger drills coming out of the heat treater.

I have had a set of augers for about 30 years, made in the USA by the Triunth company and they have not broken a single one yet, I bought out of curiosity a similar set made in China, a disaster, they lose their edge and the one that does not stilt, like crystal
All we got was a commentary .We were shown nothing of the manufacturing process.Are they guarding their processes. Theres thousands of brill bit manufacturers .
Yeah, but look at the angles, centering, dimensional consistence and the ability to hold an edge of generic Far East no-name bits: A "HSS" China import that is dull after only 8 3/8 holes in 1/4 mild steel and that needs resharpening every 5 minutes is an expensive way to save money...
I cheaped out and bought China crap the first time around. Let me say you get what you pay for. I've had a number of China drill bits that weren't even hardened. China may be 1/3 the price but you'll buy 4 times.
@@RacingHeadInnovation I bought the cheapest black oxide bit set from Harbor Freight just to see how bad they really were. They drill mild steel OK. But if you need to drill harder material you need a better tool.
Oh I see so you make a drill bit by putting some metal bar into a drill bit making machine. got it.
Did you think they were hand carved by elves?
”How are drill bit machines made?”

Lets hope your second video shows the actual manufacturing of a product the most informative part was the boxing up!

This video just completely skipped the part of making flutes lmao
2:54 albeit, it doesnt show us (how) that fluter works to grind in the flutes
That's probably the secret sauce of their whole business
No secret sauce. Everyone in the business knows how to flute a tool. It is the easiest part of the process.
@@catfan5756 I have a tool you can flute on bud
@@catfan5756 aha, fluting is the easiest part of grinding a tool😏
I often wonder how they were made, it’s a really cool process, thanks for showing, and sharing your video
Great product! I have quite a few Triumph bits and they are second to none.
Best Twist drills ive ever used
Perfect thank you
Don’t see the actual machining of the flutes and cutting edges. It comes out of the machine partially complete.
Jerry Simeone -- I quite agree. This is a frustratingly vague presentation.
Yeah, I wanted to see how that was done. Guess I'll have to send drill bits in to the How It's Made show.
The operations were shown, you just can't see the grinding taking place because of the tooling and process.

Amazing
the heat treat is the secret to a good drill. i remember years ago when foreign drills came into the US, the heat treat was almost non existent, they even bent. some of the cheap ones today are soft still
Interestingly, flutes are made after heat treatment. We are talking shaping metal that is about 62HRC hard...
Depends on the steel grade. Cobalt is 68HRC and M2 is 65HRC
Good... bravo
Nice video
Like watching a cooking show what to buy and finished product
Interesting, how on earth do they make half millimetre drills?
Saw a video by iscar of bits that are made for coolant flow through. The bits are fluted straight and the coolant holes made in the
web between flutes and then the whole bit is twisted mechanically into a spiral.
So that's why drill bits are so expensive! Making them sure looks like a pain in the ass.
Muito bom gosto de ver como as ferramentas são feitas.
You guys should sell sets direct to the public.
Way cool 😎 👍 😍
Good job..
How they make it twist
Hi my name is Kevin from Aus wat is the smallest drill you make, we by our drills from suttens tools Melbourne vic .
thats the job you get when you fail the mcdonalds interview?
VERY INTERESTING VIDEO!!!
we manufacture tungsten carbide rod for drill bits with good quality
Today, I saw a man talking on a telephone.
That's cool!!
I didn't see how the bits were made, only finished bits being spit out of the machinery!!
Now i know how drill bits are made! Awesome 😊
No you don't.
@@v3124 I meant nitriding. This is done on crankshaft. But I have seen they make drillbits! It's bloody awesome!
You also need to make a set for collets. The reduction and the flat isnt good on a R8 or R32 collet. Id like to try a set of drlls on my channel..
I never had a prob with R8 and flats. Just make sure the flat is in line with one of the 3 slits in the collet.

what name of company made the drill set...
first mild = soft steel then cutting / grinding the drill and put hot temperature to make the drill very harden stronger metal
@1:21 is that mike rowe?
If they'd have drunk the potato instead of filming with it, maybe they'd have been less shaky.
Great job
Nobody else notice that he said that less than 0.177 thousandths of an inch diameter are basketed. 1:28 Somehow I don't think that's what they meant.
I noticed it, came here to see if anybody else did :-)

Hilarious narrator voice, but interesting video
The only interesting part is how the helix is ground. Which was hidden inside the machine.
Can't show it because the grinding wheel covers are solid metal.
Sow, how it made?

All my drill bits have the size stamped on them. I guess Triumph bits you have to use calipers to find the size you need.
geez get these workers some aprons
I am using tap drills
Where to buy. I am sick of one time use China bits
WOW! I wanna work in a drill bit factory.......
Sounds interesting, just remember it can get "boring" after a "bit" !

Good video except for the distracting music.
Could have been interesting. The bad "music" made it just annoying. I made it to 2:17, only because I skipped the advertising at the beginning.
и все создано человеком !!!!
Inventory system at 3:30 is a MESS, how do you find anything? No wonder China makes it for shorter money...
😎👍
First thing I learned in machining, they are TWIST DRILLS.... drill BITS are for wood.
Me too. I think these drills go to Home Depot or Lowe's. I've been a machinist for thirty odd years and have never seen this brand in a shop.

moved to china to save cost
Where is the process? Bad video about nothing!
Too expensive for regular income Americans that's why made in usa do not survive
Only few usa made companies struggle to stay open . 😪
Love the drill bits, hate the voice actor
Horrivel, não mostra nada, só narra as etapas, sem ver nada
Drill bits are made by sending scrap metal to Taiwan & China.
All we got was a commentary .We were shown nothing of the manufacturing process.Are they guarding their processes. Theres thousands of brill bit manufacturers .
But only three in America. And the other two use Chinese made blanks
USA made? Lol
This video sucks. I wanted to see HOW they are made. Not a brief infomercial about each process and its' description.
Who pays for the clothes that the employee wears...they looked filthy
Metal working is a dirty business. All that oil and steel chips flying around.
mostly likely non-union shop... lots of temp workers... who eat it on the cost of their work clothing.
this is a false video🙄
Thanks for including the crappy music!!!
It's disingenuous to handle the bits poorly, as in bashing together, and then wrap them individually to imply care
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT?!
Nice well made drill... Unfortunately there is china that makes it for 1/3 of the price...
Yeah, but look at the angles, centering, dimensional consistence and the ability to hold an edge of generic Far East no-name bits: A "HSS" China import that is dull after only 8 3/8 holes in 1/4 mild steel and that needs resharpening every 5 minutes is an expensive way to save money...
