Milwaukee Tool releases step drill bits
Milwaukee Tool is a provider for step drill bits with the introduction of their Cobalt Step Bits. Made in the U.S.A., the Milwaukee Cobalt Step Drill Bits are designed from the ground up to deliver performance with “up to 15X life in stainless steel and over 1,000 holes in mild steel,” the company says.
The Cobalt Step Bits feature an elongated dual flute offering, heat management, and smaller steps to provide smooth drilling. The Rapid Strike Tip delivers “up to 2X faster holes in stainless,” the company says. Optimized for cordless drills, the 3-Flat Secure-Grip reduces bit slippage. The laser engraved reference marks allow users to easily stop on any size. The bits provide performance when used on low speeds and with cutting fluid for stainless steel and high speeds for mild steel. For optimal use, the bits are recommended for mild and stainless steel up to 14ga thickness.
