Norseman Drill & Tool Type 280-MRO Fractional Sizes Silver & Deming Drill
Built Tough for the MRO Professional
The Norseman Drill & Tool Type 280-MRO Silver & Deming Drill is purpose-built for the demanding needs of Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO) professionals. Featuring a shorter 5" maintenance-length design, this drill provides superior rigidity, control, and durability—making it the ideal choice for tight spaces, awkward angles, and high-torque drilling conditions.
Compact, Rigid, and Designed for Control
Enhanced Strength for Everyday Shop Demands
Manufactured in the USA from high-quality high-speed steel (HSS), the 280-MRO delivers exceptional toughness and longevity in industrial, commercial, and field maintenance settings. Its 1/2" reduced shank fits standard drill chucks, while the addition of three flats prevents slippage, ensuring secure chucking and consistent torque transfer during heavy-duty drilling.
135° Split Point for Fast, Accurate Starts
No Walking, No Pilot Hole Needed
The 135° split point provides immediate, walk-free starts—critical when working with hand drills or in unstable setups. This geometry also improves efficiency by reducing thrust requirements and eliminating the need for pilot holes. Surface-treated flutes enhance chip evacuation and minimize heat buildup, extending tool life when drilling through common MRO materials such as:
-
Steel
-
Cast iron
-
Aluminum
-
Sheet metals
-
Other general-purpose substrates
