Tork Craft Precision-Max Step Point Drill — 3.5 mm HSS (1 Piece)
Make precise pilot and clearance holes with a 3.5 mm high-speed steel bit featuring step-point geometry that starts true and resists walking. Ideal for mild steel, aluminium, plastics and thin laminates where clean entry and accurate positioning matter.
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.
 
Pro Tip
- For stainless or harder alloys, slow the RPM and use consistent lubrication to prevent work-hardening.
 - Peck drill (periodically withdraw to clear chips) on deeper holes to manage heat and swarf.
 
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.
 
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.
