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.
