Step drills are cone-shaped bits with increasing diameter "steps." This unique design lets you quickly drill a range of hole sizes without swapping out drill bits.
How Step Drills Work:
Why Use a Step Drill:
Common Step Drill Uses:
Step drills, with their unique conical shape, may look simple but require a complex manufacturing process to achieve their accuracy and durability. Let's explore the steps involved in creating these handy tools.
Step-by-Step Manufacturing of Step Drills
CBN Process for High-End Step Drills
Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN): This super-hard material allows for even finer grinding. Step drills made with a CBN process boast superior precision and edge retention.
Baucor is your one-stop shop for step drills. We manufacture a vast range of sizes to cover all your project needs. Here's what you can typically find:
Baucor can manufacture drill bits for you ranging from very small sizes like 0.05 mm to large sizes up to 180 mm, accommodating a wide spectrum of drilling requirements.
Please contact us for the appropriate dimensions. Baucor can produce drill bits in the most specialized sizes tailored to your needs.
Step drills can be made from a variety of materials, each with its own advantages and ideal applications:
In addition to the base material, step drills can also be enhanced with coatings to further improve their performance:
The choice of material and coating for a step drill depends on the specific task at hand. Softer materials and general-purpose drilling often call for HSS, while harder materials benefit from the increased resilience of HSS-Co. Carbide excels in high-wear situations and large-scale production, while PM offers a balanced solution for diverse applications.
