PRECISION-MAX STEP POINT 3.5MM HSS DRILL IND. 1PCE

Features

• 3.5 mm diameter — handy size for pilot holes and small fasteners.
• Step-point tip — self-centering to minimise wandering and produce cleaner entries.
• HSS construction — durable balance of hardness and toughness for general workshop use.
• Straight shank — compatible with standard 3-jaw chucks on hand drills and drill presses.
• Sold as a single bit for replacements or top-ups.

Benefits

• Cleaner holes: reduced burrs on entry, especially in thin sheet.
• Better control: self-centering geometry often removes the need for a centre punch.
• Versatility: suitable for mild steel, aluminium, brass, plastics and laminates.
• Efficient drilling: quicker start reduces setup time and rework.

Extra Information

• Use cutting fluid on ferrous metals to extend tool life and improve finish.
• Back thin sheet with scrap material to reduce breakout on exit.
• Apply steady feed pressure; avoid side-loading which can snap small-diameter bits.

Specifications

Safety

• Wear eye protection; secure the workpiece before drilling.
• Use appropriate speeds and lubrication to prevent overheating.
• Do not force the bit; let the cutting edges do the work.
