Heritage & History
Norseman Drill Bit was founded in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1919, building a domestic drill bit manufacturing operation in the Upper Midwest where the precision manufacturing tradition and metalworking industries provided both market and skilled labor. The company developed a reputation for producing drill bits that maintained their cutting edge longer than cheaper alternatives — a critical attribute for drilling operations in hard materials where bit failure means production downtime.
Minneapolis has been a center of precision manufacturing and industrial production for over a century, and Norseman's presence there reflects the city's broader industrial heritage. The Magnum Super Premium brand became the flagship product — a jobber-length twist drill in high-speed steel with a precision-ground split-point that self-centers without a pilot hole.
Made in Minneapolis, Minnesota
Norseman Drill Bit manufactures all of its drill bits at its Minneapolis, Minnesota facility, grinding and finishing high-speed steel and cobalt drill blanks to the specifications that professional drilling applications require. Minnesota's precision manufacturing sector supports the quality control that a drill bit manufacturer needs — the tolerances on a drill bit's diameter, point angle, and helix geometry determine whether it cuts cleanly or wanders.
For machinists, contractors, and metalworkers who drill daily, the quality difference between a Norseman bit and an offshore alternative is measured in holes per bit before dulling and in the straightness and cleanliness of the hole produced. American-made in Minneapolis, built to professional specifications.
