For drilling steel, aluminium, brass, and other metals, HSS is the minimum specification; for stainless steel and harder alloys, cobalt-enhanced HSS (HSS-Co) or carbide-tipped bits are a better choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJobber drills (the standard HSS format) have a flute length approximately ten times the diameter, making them versatile for a wide range of hole depths.
