Tork Craft Precision-Max Step Point Drill — 5.5 mm HSS (1 Piece)
Drill precise, clean holes with this 5.5 mm high-speed steel bit. Its step-point geometry improves centering and reduces wandering on smooth surfaces or difficult materials. Ideal for drilling metals, plastics and composite sheet structures.
Extra Information
- Apply cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling steel to improve finish and extend bit life.
- Use moderate feed and speed — avoid forcing, which may deflect or break the bit.
- Support thin materials with a backing board to avoid breakout at exit.
- Remove chips in deeper holes by retracting the bit periodically (peck drilling).
Pro Tip
- On stainless or hard metals, reduce RPM and use steady, minimal feed to avoid work hardening.
- Rotate bit use if part of a multi-pack to manage bit wear and maintain consistent geometry.
- When high precision is critical, instead of stepping up, drill slightly under and ream to final size.
Features
- 5.5 mm diameter — suitable for larger pilot holes or medium fasteners.
- Step-point geometry — helps reduce walking and improves entry accuracy.
- HSS material — balanced for durability and performance in general use.
- Straight shank — for compatibility with standard 3-jaw chucks.
- Fully ground flutes — for smoother chip evacuation and reduced friction.
- Tip angle approximately 135° for clean penetration and controlled cutting.
Benefits
- Reliable starts: Step-point tip helps maintain centering even on smooth or coated work surfaces.
- Consistent finish: Reduced burrs and better edge quality in metal and plastic work.
- Versatility: Suitable for mild steel, aluminium, plastics, laminates and composite sheet tasks.
- Efficient drilling: Cleaner starts cut down rework and misaligned holes.
Safety
- Wear eye protection — chips and fragments may be ejected during drilling.
- Secure the workpiece firmly — avoid freehand drilling on small or thin parts.
- Apply steady feed pressure; don’t twist or force the bit sideways.
- Manage heat — use coolant, rest intervals or lower speeds when needed.
