Step drills are drill bits easy to cut and enlarge a wide range of holes on thin sheet metal, plastic and other materials at a lower speed. Due to the stepped design of multiple diameters, you can drill different-sized holes by one or two step drills.

Usually, a burr-free screw hole (tapped hole) is created by using a drill bit, a countersink and a tap which really takes time.

Our 3 in 1 Drill Tap (spiral flute and straight flute) combines Drill bit, Tap and Countersink into ONE tool for you to drill a screw hole in just ONE step!

  A. 

Example1: M6x1.0 drill tap is for M6 screw

X = M6 means the outside diameter of the screw and the tap = 6mm

Y = Pitch of the screw (distance between threads) = 0.5mm

X – Y = Diameter of pilot drill and inner diameter of the screw and the tap = 6 - 1.0 = 5mm

Example2: 8-32NC drill tap is for size 8 screw with 32 threads per inch

X = the outside diameter of the screw and the tap = 4.17mm

Y = Pitch of the screw (distance between threads) = 0.79mm

X – Y = Diameter of pilot drill and inner diameter of the screw and the tap = 4.17 - 0.79 = 3.38mm!

To increase the working performance, a water-coolant device is necessary. Most of TCT Annular Cutters and HSS Annular Cutters need the water-coolant device; however, there is an exception for Hole Cutters.

  A.

When the material is too hard to cut , please use the products contain Cobalt or use T.C.T. Annular cutter products.

• Cobalt products : SHC M2 (TiN / TiAiN) / SHCO M42 (TiN / TiAiN) series.
• T.C.T. products :HC / HCD / HCL / HCR / HCB

  A.

For one-touch shank :

1. Firstly, there are 3 grooves on the shank and one beads-hole.
2. Secondly, there is a shorter line on the machine pipe.
3. Finally, plug the beads-hole aspect into the machine pipe with the short line.

For Weldon shank :

1. Firstly, please find the flat surface to plug the hole cutter into the machine.
2. And then, lock the screw tightly.

  A.

1. Firstly, as you can see from the top of the shank, there are three flat surfaces. Choose any flat surface and put in the hole clip.
2. Secondly, make sure if it is firm. If it shakes, please adjust to the right position.
