ECONOMY TITANIUM COATED STEP DRILL BIT 1/4"–1" – 13 STEPS
Create 13 clean, precise hole sizes from 1/4" through 1" with one economy TiN-coated step drill bit. Designed for drilling and enlarging holes in thin materials, this larger-capacity bit eliminates repeated drill-bit changes while producing controlled openings in sheet metal, aluminum, copper, plastic, wood, and other compatible materials.
The high-speed steel body featuresa titanium nitride (TiN) coating for enhanced cutting speed and wear resistance, while the self-centering split point helps reduce walking as the cut begins. A spiral double-flute design improves chip removal and helps extend cutting life, and the stepped profile progressively drills and reams the hole to the desired diameter in one operation. Ideal for clean hole-making in metal up to 1/4" thick and other compatible thin materials.

Keep the bit at approximately 90° to the work surface.
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 material and hole 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.
Secure the shank according to the tool’s chuck instructions and check retention before drilling.
Frequently Asked Questions
It produces 13 hole sizes: 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 7/16", 1/2", 9/16", 5/8", 11/16", 3/4", 13/16", 7/8", 15/16", and 1".
It has a high-speed steel body with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating.
The titanium nitride coating provides added surface hardness and wear resistance while supporting faster cutting performance.
The spiral double flutes help move chips away from the cutting area efficiently, supporting cleaner cutting and longer bit life.
Yes. The progressive steps allow an existing hole to be enlarged gradually until the desired diameter is reached.
It is designed for clean hole-making in suitable thin materials, while the stepped profile can also help with controlled chamfering and light deburring.
Use a corded drill, cordless drill/driver or drill press with an adjustable chuck that securely grips the 3-flat shank. Check the chuck opening and the tool’s drilling capacity before use. This shank does not fit directly into a 1/4" quick-change impact driver.
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 material and the diameter being cut. As the cutting diameter increases, slower and more controlled operation becomes increasingly important.
