Choosing the best finish for your drill bit can increase the level of efficiency which you receive for your home and work projects. Depending upon the requirements of your project, understanding the material used within your drill bit can dramatically improve the quality and success of your practical work.

Black Oxide Vs. Titanium for Drill Bit Finishes

Titanium

A drill bit may possess titanium nitride coating, providing a tough and durable drill bit which is strong enough to withstand repetitive use. The benefit of using a drill bit with titanium nitride coating is that the titanium nitride provides lubrication and protection against a build-up of heat and ensures longevity for your drill bit, enabling you to receive a greater amount of usage from your purchase.

Penetration is tough yet the drill bit is protected from friction and wear and tear. Your grip is secure and the hazards from a collection of dust are reduced. A titanium drill bit is perfect for general usage and achieves a fast and precise finish for your project. This type of drill bit is ideal for all kinds of materials.

Black Oxide

To create a black oxide drill bit, a high-speed steel drill bit is heated to 950 degrees Fahrenheit, providing a black oxide finish to the steel. A steel drill bit covered in a black oxide treatment protects the drill bit from heat damage when used in high-speed project work, providing additional protection from friction.

In comparison with a standard steel drill bit, a steel drill bit coated in black oxide provides 50% longer use due to the black oxide coating. In turn, the drilling process is quicker and a more precise finish is achieved for your project. A black oxide drill bit is perfect for use on materials such as steel, PVC, nylon, fiberboard, brass, copper, oak, acrylic, and composite materials.

Black Oxide or Titanium?

When choosing a drill bit for your project, consider what exactly you want to achieve. Titanium drill bits are perfect for general use and are cost-effective. A titanium drill bit is strong and durable and protects against heat and friction, adding tough penetration for a wide range of materials.

Alternatively, a black oxide drill bit will cost slightly more money to purchase, although you will gain more value from your purchase as the drill bit will not wear away as quickly as a titanium drill bit.

Your black oxide drill bit should last 50% longer than a titanium drill bit, protecting against heat and friction to a greater extent and offer longevity. A black oxide drill bit is the perfect choice for professionals and lifelong DIY enthusiasts who want the best tools and the best performance with the fastest and most precise results.
