Step Drill Bit

[Strelok]

Hey Strelok

I used a step drill bit to makes holes in my Marshall chassis but thats thick steel. I'm guessing it is easier to make nice holes when the metal is thick and hard than if it is thin or saft?kinda like drilling hard or soft wood? better holes in the hard wood.  I used a real drill bit on some aluminum way back and it made a big bur. That was one cool thing about the step bit is that once you get through the next step can take off the bur but you gotta use it from the ohter side toi get the the big bur off.

The step bit might be waht KOC would call clever cuz it is sort of cool and sort of cheezy at the same time

Peace man

Hey Nauta!

Thanks for your reply!
So, you used a step bit!
Do you have other ways now or is there just no drilling at this time?

Hey, what a neat idea, using a step bit to deburr!

What surprised me was how much force I had to use to get trough the thin sheet.
In that video I saw it went much faster.


Also useful to drill with a normal bit and then get the right size with the step bit.
I am under the metric system here in Holland.

Milwaukee tools did not want to sell me a step bit with imperial sizes if you can believe that.
So I had to get one via  Amazon, not my favorite option.

Oh yes, that goes for everybody. Thin, soft material gives burrs


Yes, peace to you too!
