Step Drill vs. Traditional Drill Bits
Compared to standard twist bits, step drills offer superior control and versatility—especially when working with thin materials.
| Feature | Step Drill (TOL75871) | Traditional Drill Bit |
|---|---|---|
| Hole Size Flexibility | Multiple sizes in one | One size per bit |
| Burr-Free Finish | Yes | Often requires cleanup |
| Heat Resistance | High (Titanium Coated) | Moderate |
| Ideal for Thin Materials | Yes | Less effective |
| Tool Changes Required | Minimal | Frequent |
Step drills streamline your workflow and deliver cleaner results.
Usage and Safety Tips
To get the best results and stay safe:
- Wear safety goggles and gloves
- Secure your workpiece with clamps
- Use moderate drill speed and steady pressure
- Align the bit properly before starting
- Avoid touching the bit immediately after use—it gets hot
These practices ensure clean holes and safe operation.
Maintenance and Care
Keep your step drill in top shape with simple maintenance:
- Wipe clean after each use
- Use a soft brush for debris removal
- Avoid water exposure to prevent rust
- Store in a dry, padded case
- Inspect regularly for wear or dullness
Routine care extends the life of your tool and maintains cutting precision.
