Tork Craft Precision-Max Step Point 13.0Mm Hss Dril 5 Pack

Description

Tork Craft Precision-Max Step Point Drill — 13.0 mm HSS (5-Piece Pack)

Ideal for workshop continuity, this 5-pack of 13.0 mm HSS step-point drill bits offers precision start control and consistent performance over multiple drills. The step-point and split point combination helps reduce walking and supports clean hole entry in metals, plastics and composite materials.

Specifications

Features

• 13.0 mm diameter — suitable for medium bore machining and clearance holes.
• Step-point geometry — helps maintain centering and reduce drift at startup.
• Split point design — lowers thrust requirement and improves edge finish.
• Straight shank — compatible with standard 3-jaw chucks.
• Fully ground spiral flutes — enable smooth chip clearance and lower friction.
• Industrial HSS build — designed for consistent use in workshop and production settings.

Benefits

• Better starts: step-point + split point geometry helps maintain alignment and reduce walk.
• Consistent output: uniform bits in the pack help maintain quality between tool switches.
• Reduced downtime: having backup bits ensures workflow continuity in active environments.
• Broad application: useful across structural, metal, plastic, composite, and sheet drilling tasks.

Extra Information

• Use cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to reduce wear and improve finish.
• Begin with moderate RPM and feed; avoid overdriving the bit sideways.
• Support thin or flexible materials with backing stock to avoid exit burr or breakout.
• For deeper holes, retract periodically (peck drilling) to control chip accumulation and cooling.

Safety

• Wear eye protection — chips and fragments may eject during drilling.
• Secure workpiece firmly — avoid freehand drilling on small parts.
• Feed steadily and avoid lateral force — let the bit lead the cut.
• Manage heat — use coolant, reduce feed or pause when bit becomes hot.
