Question where can I buy a set of drill bit that could drill anything ( hard steel - heat treated steel)
have heard about diamond tip drill bit but can not find them anywhere? please help.
thank you
Answer I really don't think there is a drill bit that can drill anything. There are different tools for different jobs. You would not want to drill alumunum with a diamond drill.
Diamond drills are more of an abrasive the a cutting tool.
There are good quality carbide bits that will drill many materials but you also need the proper equipment or you will
trash an expensive bit.
Most companys purchase just the bits they need to do the job.
If you are having trouble drilling something send me some info on what it is maybe I can recommend the right tools.
