HSS-XE Step drill, 4-12mm, CBN ground, 3 cutting edges

The Karnasch Professional step drill made of HSS-XE steel and spiral fluted with split point

Karnasch STEP DRILLS are designed to drill perfectly round holes in sheet metals of an thickness up to 4 mm. The transition from one step to the next perfectly deburrs the previously drilled hole. Step drills are therefore a drilling and deburring tool combination.

This versatile tool combines 9 different drills with diameters of 4 - 12 mm. The radius transition simultaneously bezels or deburrs the bore holes.

The drills are axial-radially relief grounded and can be resharpened at the tooth face.

HSS-XE steel

Made of high-alloyed special steel XE for considerably longer service life than HSS-Steel. The deep-ground flutes with 3 cutting edges guarantee extremely smooth running, noticeable softer cutting and high cutting performance. Excellent for thin sheet metal.

3-Flat shank for:

• Excellent torque transmission
• No slippage in the drill chuck
• This results to superior cutting output

All step drills and sheets drills are available in the patented BLUE-DUR-coating or TiN-GOLD-coating. Coatings significantly increase the service life. Strongly recommended for difficult materials such as stainless steels and if drilling without coolants.

All step drills and sheet drills comes lasered with diameters in the spiral.

All step drills and sheet drills are made of high-alloy steel HSS-XE for a hardness up to 68 HRC. This results in high wear resistance and service life.

Step drills and sheet drills are also available spiral-fluted for:

• Smooth cutting behavior
• No sticking in the material
• Low cutting forces
• Less burrs on the work piece
• Longer service life
