Tork Craft Precision-Max Step Point Drill — 4.8 mm HSS (1 Piece)

Drill with confidence using this 4.8 mm High Speed Steel (HSS) precision bit. Its step-point tip helps guide the bit accurately at startup, minimizing walk and burrs. Ideal for mild steel, aluminium, plastics and thin sheet working.

Extra Information

Use cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to reduce wear and heat generation.
Use moderate RPMs and steady feed; avoid forcing the drill.
Support thin sheet with scrap or backing to prevent exit burr or cracking.
Withdraw bit periodically in deeper holes to clear chips and cool it down.

Pro Tip

For stainless or harder materials, reduce speed and keep pressure light to prevent work hardening.
Rotate usage among bits (if in a multi-pack) to equalize wear and maintain geometry over time.
Drill slightly undersize, then ream for high-precision holes when finish tolerance is critical.

Features

4.8 mm diameter — suitable for mid-size fastener holes and precision work.
Step-point geometry — helps reduce wandering and improves centering.
High Speed Steel (HSS) — good balance of toughness and wear resistance for general workshop use.
Straight shank — compatible with standard 3-jaw chucks.
Fully ground flutes — for easier chip removal and reduced friction.
Tip angle (approx): ~135° — sharp entry with controlled cutting action.

Benefits

Better starts: step-point geometry plus self-centering design reduce start drift.
Cleaner holes: smoother edges and reduced burrs in metals and plastics.
Reliable performance: HSS body with balanced strength for general use.
Flexibility: works across a range of materials — metals, plastics, laminates.

Safety

Always wear eye protection — debris and chips may fly during drilling.
Secure the workpiece firmly — avoid holding small parts by hand during drilling.
Feed steadily; don’t force the bit into the material.
Monitor bit temperature; if hot, pause and allow cooling or use cutting fluid.
