Paper Drill Bits

L.A. Grinding’s heavy duty hollow paper drill bits are made in the USA of one piece construction from the finest quality tool steel. Micro finished on the inside to allow chips to flow easily and reduce clogging. Every drill bit is thoroughly inspected after each machining and finishing process to insure the highest quality product on the market. Packaged in re-closeable plastic tubes for convenience and protection.

Available in Teflon, Flute, and Marvel

Teflon

Most Teflon coated bits may look the same but aren’t. LAGCO Teflon coated bits are superior. LAGCO Teflon has a different chemical formulation and is applied differently then other Teflon coated drill bits. LAGCO Teflon bits are tougher and hold up longer. Standard Teflon coated bits showed wear after 50 lifts of drilling; so called premium Teflon coated bits showed wear after 400 lifts; LAGCO Teflon, we stopped testing after 1500 lifts with no real signs of wear!

Paper Drill Accessories

LA Grinding provides high-quality paper drills. We feature only the finest grade of regular and Teflon coated paper drill bits. Our paper drill bits can accommodate one and three spindle designs. We also stock most sizes of wooden drill blocks, maple inserts, drill strips and drill inserts for a wide variety of paper drill makes. Most of our wooden drill blocks are made from hard maple to offer the highest level of durability and performance. And as a related product, we also offer the Drill-Ease lubricant stick in boxes of 24 or in individual increments.

Drill Blocks

Our wood drill blocks are manufactured from high-quality rock maple to specific tolerances. We manufacture our own drill blocks to keep quality high and prices low. Drill blocks are packed in re-closable corrugated cartons or re-sealable poly bags. Simply take out what you need and close up the package. No more loose blocks rolling away or falling all over the place.

Drill Ease

Drill-Ease paper drill lubricant is designed to ease drilling and prolong drill bit life by reducing friction and heat on hollow paper drills. Won’t stain paper! Simple to use, just apply lightly on cutting edge of drills.

Static Tinsel

Anti-Static Steltin Tinsel garland is a 1-1/4″ diameter copper tinsel with a solid copper wire center that can easily be cut to fit your application. The fine copper strands conduct the static charge from the paper, plastic, and cloth materials that pass over or under the tinsel. Easily installs, no electricity required, and is relatively inexpensive. Packaged two twelve-yard rolls per box.

Statikil is the original anti-static formulation, developed especially for printers and processors of paper, plastic, and textile products. The formula is full strength for maximum effectiveness, yet non-rusting and harmless to material, machinery, or plates.

Apply Staikil wherever static electricity is generated by friction or low humidity. Spray it on your press, folder, collator, etc. to reduce mis-feeding. Use it in the computer, pre-press, and data processing areas to prevent static build-up on floors, chairs, equipment cases, CRT terminals, etc. Spray it on carpeting and clothing to guard against data loss and other static-related problems. Use it on delivery tapes, fly sticks, feed boards, rollers, conveyors, and drive belts. Simple and economical to use. Also available in liquid concentrate.
