Product Description

I like how easy it is to use this product.

Despite its high durability, this product is not indestructible

A product of the United States is being manufactured here.

It is faster to drill through thin materials with the same drill bit because you don't have to change drill bits. As each drill size is used as a pilot, it acts as a guide for sizing the next size up.

The entire system is made of industrial-grade high-speed molybdenum steel, heat treated to provide Faster penetration and no walking are attributes of the SpeedPoint tip.

This drill is ideal for drilling holes into thin materials such as stainless steel, copper, brass, aluminum, plastic,

It does not require center punches as it has a non-skid tip. This drill chuck is equipped with a three-faltted hex shank to prevent An easy way to identify drill diameters is the printing of the diameters on the flute.

Questions & Answers

Is it possible to use it with My description states that it will, but I must confess that I am cautious before drilling an expensive plexi box without hearing some feedback first. ?

Interestingly, I have never cut plexiglass with a step bit. The trick with plexi is not to melt it while drilling.

Are there any hardened steels that it works on? An example of a knife blade. ?

I am glad you asked. Thank you. This version of the 10234 is designed for plastic and metal. Steel hardened to a high temperature would be too hard for this

Three-quarters of an inch is not three-quarters of an inch

3/5

This is unfortunate, but you can't help it Despite my best efforts, I cannot fit my "3/4" diameter tube into my 3/4" OD tube. What's the reason? In light of the recent events In reality, this drill bit has a "3/4" cutter, not a The item measures 18 inches long by 6 inches wide by 3 inches tall. I think the 8 mm is just fine. There's something wrong with that This is 5mm). As for the rest, this works just fine. The cheap bit will cut your holes more or less accurately, but don't expect any.

Choosing the right drill bit for DIY effect pedal building is important

5/5

My business is building DIY pedals (stomp boxes) for guitar and this drill bit is the bee's knees. It is no longer necessary for me to change drill bits to drill different sizes of holes for If you use a TEKTON 6580 Automatic Center Punch, start the hole with a 1/8" titanium bit first, since this Unibit tends to slip a little otherwise. You can also keep the bit oily with Tap Magic Industrial Pro Cutting Fluid for optimal performance. My series of aluminum enclosures have already been drilled hundreds of times with this and it's still working perfectly. Excellent product. I would buy it again for sure.

Tool boxes shouldn't be without one of these! For the past few months, I have been using step-by-step For over a decade, we've been drilling and using unique bits

5/5

For metal work, as well as when you need a nice finish on the edge, these are useful. No pilot hole is necessary for this Irwin bit to start, and it cuts through most metals and wood very smoothly.

value for the price

3/5

A good step bit with a middle of the road quality. In the limited drilling I have done with mine, I have had no issues. For people who want to do their own projects, this is a wonderful product. However, it's not quite durable enough for professional use. The product is being sold at a price that I do not believe a person should expect more from.

The perfect tool for making a brew kettle by drilling into a pot

5/5

A tool to accomplish a specific task. In order to create a brew kettle, I was drilling a hole through a very thick gauge pot. I had a few hiccups with my handheld drill, but the product was perfect for the job. Here, I would like to issue just one word of caution. Wear gloves and safety glasses if you're using a lot of force to drill through thick metal. There is no doubt that your hands and arms can get scorched when pieces of hot metal pop off the workbench. Consider what it will do to your eye if it gets in there.

The next bit is my step

4/5

Until now, I have never known who I really am. There are some great bits here. Use safety squints while using them since they can be dangerous. It seems as though oil is helpful in steel that is thick. It is only natural to expect this.

It has so far been a good experience

4/5

The edge has been sharp so far. Hopefully it will stay that way. The bag has cut more than a dozen holes as I mentioned, so hopefully it won't stop It arrived as described in the description and was delivered on time.

We are offering a great price for this #4 Irwin step drill! This #4 bit had to be acquired to make a hole in plastic measuring 13/16"

5/5

It has been over a year since I got my # 502 Unibit 3 computer. The set parameter must be Numbers divided by a power of two In addition to 1, 2 & 3 The third week is complete. In fact, I've had it When holes are drilled in sheet metal or thin plastic, I occasionally make use of my Unibit*. Every hole produced by them is round and smooth.
