Tork Craft Precision-Max Step Point Drill — 8.0 mm HSS (1 Piece)

This 8.0 mm high-speed steel (HSS) precision drill bit features a step-point tip for superior centering and cleaner entries. With a tri-flat shank and split point design, it resists walking and delivers accurate holes in steel, aluminium, plastics and sheet work.

Extra Information

Use cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to reduce heat and wear.
Start at moderate RPM and feed; avoid forcing the bit, especially in harder materials.
Support thin stock with backing to reduce exit burr and breakout.
Periodically retract bit (peck drilling) in deeper holes to evacuate chips and cool the bit.

Pro Tip

In stainless or harder alloys, slow the RPM and use light feed to prevent work hardening.
Rotate usage if you have multiple bits (or future packs) to spread wear evenly.

Features

8.0 mm diameter — ideal for larger pilot holes or through-holes in metal or plastic.
Step-point tip geometry — promotes accurate starts and reduced drift.
Split point design — helps the bit to self-center and reduces thrust force.
Tri-flat shank — resists slippage in the chuck for better torque transfer.
Fully ground spiral flutes — smooth cutting and efficient chip removal. (Toolcraft spec) :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
Tip angle approx. 135° ± 2° — balanced for general-purpose drilling. (Toolcraft spec) :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Suitable for industrial use in metal, plastic and mixed sheet materials. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Benefits

Reliable start: The step-point + split point combination reduces walking on smooth surfaces.
High control: Tri-flat shank prevents rotation slip under load.
Cleaner finish: Sharper entries and cleaner edges, especially in metals.
Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of materials — steel, aluminium, plastics, composite sheets.

Safety

Wear eye protection — metal chips and fragments may fly during drilling.
Secure the workpiece in a vice or clamp — avoid holding small parts by hand.
Apply steady feed pressure; avoid forcing the bit sideways.
Allow the bit to cool or pause if material or bit becomes excessively hot.
