The company was founded in 2001 by Mick Cheff, who prides himself on his commitment to both community and employees. At RMT’s 30,000-sq-ft, fully integrated facility, he leads a team of designers and engineers, embraces new technologies and process improvements, and gives back to the community in a variety of ways including hosting Manufacturing Days, an annual event in which local schools send students to RMT to see the state-of-the-art machinery, meet the employees, and see what it takes to make a facility operate Some of them will even be able to demo tools.
Rocky Mountain Twist calls itself “The American Drill Company,” and their BlackGold 137° Split Point Jobber drives that name home.
Made of industrial-grade NAS high-speed steel (HSS), it’s precision-CNC-machined for faster, more efficient chip removal, it has an aggressive web taper and a split-point tip that penetrates surfaces on contact and prevents drill bit “walking.” Use it on steel (low and medium carbon), steel alloy, stainless steel, and strength alloys.
