china step drill
The China step drill represents a versatile and efficient drilling tool designed for creating precise holes of varying diameters in a single operation. This innovative tool features a unique stepped design with multiple cutting edges arranged in ascending size increments, enabling users to drill holes of different sizes without changing bits. Manufactured using high-speed steel (HSS) with titanium coating, these drills offer exceptional durability and heat resistance, making them suitable for working with various materials including metal, plastic, wood, and thin steel sheets. The stepped configuration allows for smooth, progressive cutting action, reducing the stress on both the tool and workpiece while minimizing burr formation. Most China step drills incorporate a split point design that prevents walking and ensures accurate hole placement from the start. The titanium nitride coating significantly extends tool life by reducing friction and heat buildup during operation. These drills typically feature a three-flatted shaft design that provides superior grip in drill chucks and prevents slippage during high-torque applications. With size markings clearly etched on each step, users can easily achieve precise hole dimensions without additional measuring tools.
