Product Specification

BLACK & WHITE TITANIUM COATED STEP DRILL BIT SET – 5 PIECE

Cover 23 distinct hole sizes from 1/8" through 1-3/8" with one professional 5-piece Black & White step drill bit set. With 6-step, 9-step, 10-step, 12-step, and 13-step bits, this set gives fabricators, electricians, maintenance crews, automotive technicians, and general shop users broad hole-size coverage without relying on a large collection of conventional drill bits. The alternating Black & White step colors make each cutting diameter clearly visible while drilling, so you can easily track your progress and know exactly where you are in the drilling process.

Each bit is built from M2 high-speed steel with a titanium coating for durable cutting performance in demanding drilling applications. Self-centering split points help reduce walking at startup, while spiral double-flute geometry promotes fast chip evacuation and helps manage heat during drilling. Combined with the high-contrast step design, the progressive profiles make it easier to drill and enlarge holes accurately to the required diameter while reducing repeated bit changes.

Machine Compatibility

Machine compatibility varies by the individual bit in this set.

The 9-step, 12-step and 13-step bits have 1/4" quick-change shanks for compatible drill chucks and impact drivers. The 10-step bit uses a 3-flat shank for an adjustable drill chuck; check the 6-step bit’s shank before choosing a tool.

Compatible examples include:

  • Corded drills
  • Cordless drill/drivers
  • Rotary drills
  • Compatible 1/4" quick-change impact drivers for applicable bits
  • Drill presses
  • Pillar drilling machines
  • DEWALT® DCD800 — drill/driver for the quick-change bits
  • Makita® XFD14Z — drill/driver for the quick-change bits
  • Milwaukee® 2953-20 — impact driver for the quick-change bits
  • DEWALT® DCF845 — impact driver for the quick-change bits

Other compatible models can also be used. Match the tool’s drilling capacity and speed to your material and hole size; use an adjustable chuck for the 10-step bit.

Safety Tips

  • Wear eye protection and appropriate hearing and respiratory protection. Keep gloves and loose clothing away from rotating parts.
  • Secure or clamp the workpiece before drilling.
  • Select the bit that includes the required finished hole diameter.
  • Keep the bit approximately 90° to the work surface for a controlled cut.
  • Use the contrasting Black & White steps to monitor drilling progress and stop at the required diameter.
  • Progress through the steps gradually rather than forcing the bit.
  • Use steady pressure and allow the cutting edges to do the work.
  • Select drilling speed according to the workpiece material and cutting diameter.
  • Larger hole diameters generally require slower, more controlled operation.
  • Use an appropriate cutting lubricant when drilling metals.
  • Stop the tool before clearing chips; use a brush, not your hands.
  • Do not use hammer action when drilling with a hammer drill/driver.
  • Make sure each shank is fully seated and securely retained before operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

The five step profiles provide 23 distinct hole diameters ranging from 1/8" through 1-3/8".
The set includes 6-step, 9-step, 10-step, 12-step, and 13-step bits.
The alternating Black & White step colors create strong visual contrast between adjacent cutting diameters, making each step clearly visible while drilling. This helps you track your progress and know exactly where you are in the drilling process so you can stop at the desired diameter.
A step drill creates progressively larger holes as it advances through the material. Clearly distinguishing one step from the next makes it easier to monitor depth and avoid unintentionally advancing to a larger diameter.
The 10-step bit reaches a maximum diameter of 1-3/8".
The 13-step bit begins at 1/8".
The set is manufactured from M2 high-speed steel with titanium-coated cutting surfaces.
M2 HSS provides a durable cutting substrate suited for demanding drilling applications while maintaining cutting performance under heat.
The spiral double flutes efficiently move chips away from the cutting area, helping maintain a controlled cut and manage heat buildup.
Yes. Step drill bits are especially useful for progressively enlarging an existing opening until the desired step diameter is reached.
Yes. The transition between steps can be used carefully for controlled chamfering or light deburring without advancing far enough to unintentionally enlarge the hole.
The 9-, 12- and 13-step quick-change bits fit drill chucks such as the DEWALT® DCD800 and Makita® XFD14Z, plus 1/4" hex impact drivers such as the Milwaukee® 2953-20 and DEWALT® DCF845. Use the 10-step bit in an adjustable drill chuck, and check the 6-step bit’s shank before choosing a tool. Match each tool’s capacity and speed to the hole size and material.
Up to 1/4" in suitable metal, provided the selected step is long enough to pass through the workpiece without engaging the next diameter. Choose the drilling speed and lubricant for your material and hole size.
Select speed according to both the workpiece material and the cutting diameter. As hole diameter increases, slower and more controlled operation generally becomes increasingly important.
