Tired of bad quality and delay shipments?
When you source hardware tools, inconsistent quality and delayed factory deliveries destroy your profit. Your wholesale buyers demand precision, durability, and reliability. If your current supplier delivers brittle drill bits or misses shipping deadlines, your brand reputation is broken. You need a real factory that understands the B2B import business.
We are a direct manufacturer of DIN 338 twist drill bits, producing from 0.2mm to 20mm in HSS, HSS-G, M2, and Cobalt M35/M42. We provide OEM branding, custom packaging, and stable bulk supply for global distributors.

I understand how a single bad batch can cost you customers. That's why we focus on consistent manufacturing quality, strict material verification, and reliable delivery schedules. Let me explain how our factory capabilities can secure your supply chain and protect your brand.
Why You Need a Reliable DIN 338 Drill Bit Manufacturer to Secure Your Supply
In the competitive hardware market, your supply chain is your biggest advantage. Choosing the right source factory means the difference between steady retail reorders and costly customer returns.
You must partner with a factory that maintains sufficient raw material stock and a proven quality system. We maintain large HSS steel inventory and follow a strict 7-step QC process to ensure zero complaints and on-time delivery.

A reliable supply chain protects your business from raw material to shipment. We build quality checks into every stage so you can trust every container leaving our facility.
Guarantee Your Inventory with Our Sufficient B2B Wholesale Stock
Stockouts mean lost sales1 for your business. When your distributors need DIN 338 drill bits, you cannot afford to wait months for production.

HSS Rolled & Polished: Maximize Your Margins on General Steel and Cast Iron Drilling
For your price-sensitive markets, roll-forged HSS drill bits offer the highest ROI. The heated rolling process maintains the grain structure of the steel, making the bit highly elastic and resistant.
- Target Application: General steel, cast iron, wood, and plastics.
- Your Advantage: High volume, cost-effective purchasing to maximize your wholesale margins.
HSS Fully Ground M2 (6542): the Advantage of 135° Split Point
When your professional buyers demand higher precision, upgrade them to our fully ground M2 (6542) drill bits. Machined from a single solid blank, these bits offer superior concentricity.
- The 135° Split Point: This feature prevents the drill bit from "walking" or slipping on smooth surfaces. It starts cutting immediately upon contact.
- Your Advantage: Lower cutting resistance and faster chip removal mean your clients get the job done faster, ensuring repeat purchases for your brand.
HSS-E Cobalt (M35/M42): Drilling Solutions for Stainless Steel
Standard HSS fails under the extreme heat generated by drilling hard alloys. By adding 5% (M35) or 8% (M42) Cobalt to the steel matrix, these drill bits withstand incredibly high temperatures without losing their cutting edge.
- Target Application: Stainless steel (Inox), titanium, high-tensile steel, and weld seams.
- Your Advantage: Position your brand at the premium end of the market by offering a high-performance solution that solves the toughest drilling challenges.
An Advanced Manufacturing & Inspection Behind Your Premium Drill Bits
To give you a competitive edge, we invest heavily in modern manufacturing technology. Your drill bits are produced using advanced machinery that guarantees consistency across millions of units.
You must verify that your factory uses proper heat treatment and CNC grinding. Our salt bath process ensures uniform hardness, and our 5-axis inspection verifies micro-geometry for maximum anti-torsion strength.

Advanced manufacturing protects your brand from field failures. We invest in precision equipment so every bit performs as expected.
Step-by-Step Precision: From Raw Material Cutting to Your Perfect Flute Edge Grinding
Our manufacturing is not just about shaping metal; it is about engineering a cutting tool.
- Precision Cutting: Steel blanks are cut to exact DIN 338 standard length3.
- Salt Bath Heat Treatment: We use a controlled salt bath process. This ensures uniform hardness throughout the entire bit, eliminating brittle spots that cause breakage.
- CNC Flute Grinding: Our automated CNC machines grind the flutes with exact geometry, ensuring optimal spiral angles for efficient chip ejection.
5-Axis Inspection & Profile Measuring: Ensuring Your Tools Have Maximum Anti-Torsion Capability
We do not guess on quality; we measure it. Using advanced 5-axis profile measuring equipment, we inspect the micro-geometry of the drill bits. We verify the web thickness, flute depth, and chisel edge angles. This meticulous inspection process ensures that every bit you sell has maximum anti-torsion strength, preventing snapping during heavy torque applications.
The Right Point Angle for Your Market: Choosing Between 118° and 135°
Different materials require different approaches. We help you customize your order based on your target market:
- 118° Point Angle: Ideal for general-purpose drilling in softer materials. The wider cutting edge is durable and easy to resharpen.
- 135° Split Point Angle: Essential for hard materials. The flatter point reduces the required feed pressure, making it easier for your end-users to drill through tough metals without pre-punching.
