TM Magnum Super Premium
Heavy Duty Drill Bits
A drill chart and a down-loadable PDF is provided

Made in the USA from
High Speed Steel (HSS). These bits are made to drill through
hardened stainless steel plate (30+ on the Rockwell "C" scale)
so wood & acrylics are not an issue.
These drills are so sharp (point and outer cutting surfaces) that
they will easily cut skin if not properly handled. The flutes
have a nitro carburized coating that inhibits heat & material
build-up. They are coated with an amber gold anti-friction
surface treatment and are ground with a 135 degree split point
tip. These drills will easily outperform cobalt bits.
This is the best series of drills that I have
ever used. Don't confuse these bits with imported drill
bits -
that's like comparing a "Chevette" to a "Corvette".
They are not that much more expensive than 'regular' drill bits and
with the proper care they should last a very long time before they
require sharpening. These bits are an excellent choice
when used to drill Desert Ironwood.
I have received inquiries why we don't recommend 7mm bits for the
slimline and other 7mm type kits. It has been my
experience that a 7mm hole is a little too tight for these kits
and whatever glue you are using to secure the tube inside the
blank can be minimal because the hole size and the brass tube
are just about the same size. I recommend using either the 'J' or a
9/32" bit for the 7mm kits. We do stock 7mm bits for
those who want them. |

| 13.3mm Drill Bit |
| HSS (high speed steel) 13.3mm drill bit for the Berea El Grande series pens.
This bit can be used in place of
the 33/64" drill for those that want a little larger hole
in the top barrel. This bit has a straight shank and will
just fit into a 1/2" Jacobs chuck. Price is
$9.95. To order

| 8.2mm Drill Bit |
| This drill bit is especially useful
for the upper barrel of the Olympia pen kit. It
drills a slightly larger hole than a standard 'O' bit
thus allowing a better glue joint. |

| 29 American made Norseman
TM Magnum Super
Premium heavy duty drill bits 1/16" to 1/2" by 64ths.
Comes complete with a either a weather tight, waterproof and just
about indestructible drill case or in a standard metal drill
index box.
Constructed of hi-moly tool steel, these premium drill bits are not
to be confused or compared to the 'bargain' bits offered by
different companies selling imported drill bits. These bits
are hardened to drill through materials with a hardness of over 30
on the Rockwell "C" scale and have nitro-carburized flutes.
The split point design gives accurate starting without the use of a
center punch. The 135 degree point takes a smaller chip along
with the amber gold surface treatment results in less friction and
heat. The Norseman bits easily out perform cobalt bits when
drilling like materials. |

Bill...just wanted
to write and sing the praises for the Norsemen Drill
bits you carry. I had been using brad point bits from
many different vendors and had various disasters with
pen blanks and although not all problems were drill bit
related I have had ZERO drill bit related issues since I
bought the Norsemen STD set in the round storage
Ultra-Dex and I've also a few metric sizes and plan to
buy more. Anyway...thanks for carrying them as they are
the only brand of bit I intend to use. I'll never use
brad points again for pens.

Bill,
I just wanted to tell
you I was very impressed with the Norseman Ultra-Dex
I just received from you. These bits leave nice, long,
even shavings, and cut much smoother than I remember my
old off shore set did when new. I have also noticed
easier entry while drilling pen blanks when compared to
my old brad points (especially in burls). Even the case
is better made. The stepped bit holder fell out of my
old case every time I opened it! Thanks for a great
product!

Drill Clamp
| This is the same type of clamp that I
use and demonstrate in my pen turning video. It is
very simple to use and I have used this type of clamp to
drill hundreds of pen blanks. The clamp is made from
hard maple and will give you years of use if you don't abuse
it. Price is $14.95. You'll notice that I am
drilling over a piece of plywood. I do this to keep
the bottom of the pen blank from blowing out when the drill
exits the blank. I recommend the use of a waste board
when drilling any material. |
