Step drill bits consist of many “steps” which allow the user to drill holes of many different sizes with only one bit, and they work well for drilling holes in wood, metal, and other materials as their uses include drilling holes through electrical boxes, sheet metals, and arborite. These twist drill bits come in a wide variety of materials such as high-speed steel, stainless steel, black oxide, and cobalt, with Rack-A-Tiers offering high-grade, heat resistant cobalt drill bits.
Step drill bits use a flute design, which resembles a cone in that the steps start small and get wider the further you drill, so simply drill down as far as you need to, and use the steps as measurement.
Tip: To avoid accidently drilling deeper than intended, place tape around the drill bit at the step where you intend to stop.
Rack-A-Tiers step drill bits work with any type of handheld twist drill, but keep in mind that a drill press requires a different type of drill bits for metal and do not work with bits for handheld drills, so make sure you know what kind of drill you plan to use for your project. For any project that uses a handheld drill, Rack-A-Tiers step drill bits work as the ideal tool.
Rack-A-Tiers offers drill bits in many size and step options which include:
Rack-A-Tiers step drill bits easily drill holes in metal and allow you to customize the hole size using the different steps on the bit. The twist bit flute design reduces friction so that you have no problem drilling your holes, while the double flute offers faster drilling than a single flute bit. Start drilling through metal with ease when you use Rack-A-Tiers step drill bits!
