About this product
Bosch SDH30 3-Piece High-Speed Steel Step Drill Bit Set (1/8" to 3/4" Range)
The Bosch SDH30 3-piece high-speed steel step drill bit set enlarges electrical knockout openings, bores precision conduit pass-throughs, deburrs sheet metal ducting, and drills clean holes in thin materials up to 1/8-inch thick. Engineered from premium heat-treated high-speed steel with laser-etched depth increments spanning 13 total hole sizes from 1/8 inch to 3/4 inch, these multi-diameter unibits eliminate the need for large index drill sets in sheet steel, aluminum, copper, brass, stainless steel, and PVC. Featuring a self-starting non-walking split point, a balanced dual-flute geometry for chatter-free hole expansion, and 3-flat shanks to prevent chuck slippage under load, this 0.28-lb metalworking set provides commercial electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians with fast hole-sizing versatility.
Best Used For:
- Electrical Panel and Junction Box Knockouts: Drilling and stepping up 1/8-inch to 3/4-inch conduit entry holes in electrical enclosures and metal gutters without hole deformation.
- HVAC Sheet Metal and Spiral Ductwork: Boring clean, burr-free take-off ports and sensor probe mounting holes into galvanized duct systems and sheet aluminum.
- Plumbing and Auto Body Thin-Panel Modification: Enlarging radiator bracket holes, trimming fender sheet steel, and penetrating acrylic or copper tubing up to 1/8-inch thickness.
Key Performance & Safety Features
- Multi-Hole Stepped Diameters: Covers 13 unique hole diameters across 3 bits, consolidating full drill bit indexes into a compact jobsite layout set.
- Self-Starting Non-Walking Split Point: Begins cutting instantly on polished sheet metal and stainless steel surfaces without requiring center punches or pilot holes.
- Balanced Double-Flute Geometry: Two precision-ground spiral cutting flutes eject metal chips smoothly to eliminate rotational chatter and bit binding.
- Three-Flat Shank Architecture: Machined 3-flat shank profile locks securely into 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch 3-jaw drill chucks to eliminate shank spinning under torque.
- Industrial High-Speed Steel: Heavy-duty HSS construction maintains cutting-edge hardness and allows for repeated edge re-sharpening over the life of the bit.
- Laser-Etched Diameter Callouts: Highly visible permanent sizing step marks ensure accurate hole sizing inside dim service enclosures.
