Default Why are long drill bits so hard to find?

For example this 3mm HSS cobalt, 98mm long. Couldn't find a 4mm that length at all!

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/351783054078

Surely plenty folk need to drill a hole through something thick before putting a screw right through and into the wood behind?

Just getting into this, at work we had some 1/8 inch bits and a few
other sizes up to about 1/2 inch that were about a foot long, some 1/4
and 5/16 inch bits that were about 5 feet long.

The standard length for a 4mm width drill bit tends to be about 60mm. Useless for almost every task.

I've found plenty really long masonry bits that are 10mm thick or more, but thinner ones, like you'd use for pilot holes for screws, are always way too short.

"installer" bits of roughly 18 inch length are COMMON in smaller sizes
-3/16 to 3/8 sort of range - - some with a hole in the web at the tip
for attaching a wire or pull cord to pull it through the hole.

Never found one that long useless for what I was doing

mostly for bolting the oregon facia boards onto the steel
vertical angle iron that I had welded to the steel roof beams.
Bolted on with gutter bolts.

I'll give you an example, I'm trying to drill through a conservatory framework (which is 60mm thick) to put a bolt through it to go into the wall. I need 60mm for the cobalt drill to make the hole, plus some extra length as the drill chuck can't get right up against the framework (due to the window framing). And even longer when I want to get into the wall with the masonry bit, having gone through the frame.

That can certainly happen, but to claim that 60mm long

and just another pathetic excuse for a troll.

And longer ones are trivially available anyway.

98mm is under 4 inches. What do you consider short?

The standard length for a 4mm width drill bit tends to be about
60mm.

Useless for almost every task.

Never found one that long useless for what I was doing
and I drilled a hell of a lot when building the house myself.
mostly for bolting the oregon facia boards onto the steel
vertical angle iron that I had welded to the steel roof beams.
Bolted on with gutter bolts.

I'll give you an example, I'm trying to drill through a conservatory
framework (which is 60mm thick) to put a bolt through it to go into
the
wall. I need 60mm for the cobalt drill to make the hole, plus some
extra
length as the drill chuck can't get right up against the framework
(due
to
the window framing). And even longer when I want to get into the wall
with the masonry bit, having gone through the frame.

That can certainly happen, but to claim that 60mm long
drills are useless for almost every task is completely silly
and just another pathetic excuse for a troll.

Depends what work you do,


Not with your original stupid claim about almost every task.


Do you have OCD?


Nope.

Stop taking things so literally.


You never could bull**** your way out of a wet paper bag.

If that was true, there were be no market for the 60mm long ones.


They sell because it's the only length you can get!


That's another pig ignorant lie.

I always find myself needing to drill a long distance.


Bull**** you do.


It is not bull****. You have no idea what I do.


I know that there are **** all situations
where a 60mm drill isnt plenty long enough.

And longer ones are trivially available anyway.


Not when I searched for them.


That's because you are too stupid to use the appropriate search term.

I typed long cobalt drill bit into Ebay and it came up with very few
options.


That's because you are too stupid to use the appropriate search term.


What's wrong with typing "long cobalt drill bit" when you want a long
cobalt drill bit?


It doesn't find the drills that are longer than 60mm, stupid.

For example this 3mm HSS cobalt, 98mm long.* Couldn't find a 4mm that

Surely plenty folk need to drill a hole through something thick before
putting a screw right through and into the wood behind?


I googled long HSS and found lots. Bought some. Very very useful.
