Metalworkers Rave About Game-Changing Drill Bits: "They’ve Transformed Our Shop"
In the bustling workshops of Midwest Metalworks, a quiet revolution is underway—all thanks to a lineup of drill bits that’s making even the trickiest metal drilling tasks feel like a breeze.
“We’ve been in the metalworking game for over a decade, and I’ve never seen tools hold up like these,” says Jake Carter, head machinist at the facility. Carter is talking about the WC drill bit, U drill, and 4D metal drill bit from the IRON ROOT C40WC series—tools he and his team swear by for their daily operations.
What’s got Carter excited? For starters, the 4D metal drill bit’s compatibility with IRON ROOT WCMX inserts (WC02 to WC08) means the shop rarely switches out entire tools. “One drill, multiple inserts—we save at least an hour a day on setup alone,” he laughs, tapping a WC05 insert into place. “And the precision? We’re hitting measurements within a hair’s width, even on tough alloys. It’s like the drill knows exactly where to go.”
Over at Precision Parts Co., foreman Maria Gonzalez echoes the praise, particularly for the U drill. “We used to dread deep-hole drilling in thick steel—it’d overheat, slow down, and ruin the workpiece half the time,” she explains. “This U drill? Cuts through like butter. We’re finishing jobs 30% faster, and the team’s actually asking to take on more drilling tasks now. Who knew a tool could boost morale?”
