Step drills help you do more in one pass – creating multiple diameters with fewer tool changes. They’re a smart fit for hole making in thin sections, sheet work, or jobs where speed and control matter. You get cleaner transitions between steps, smoother results, and a more efficient workflow overall.
Step drills are useful when a single tool needs to create or enlarge holes across multiple diameters with fewer tool changes. They are commonly selected for sheet metal, thin sections and production jobs where controlled hole sizing, speed and repeatability are important.
A step drill bit for metal helps users achieve cleaner transitions between hole sizes while reducing the need for multiple separate drills. An HSS step drill bit is especially practical for workshop and industrial use where stable cutting, easy handling and consistent results are needed across repeated hole-making operations.
Addison’s step drill range includes HSS parallel shank options in milled and ground types, manufactured to IS and DIN standards. With coating options such as White, BT and TiN, Addison supports users who need dependable step drill bit solutions for accurate, efficient and repeatable hole preparation.
