M35 Cobalt Step Drill Bit for Stainless Steel 4-20Mm 1/4" Hex Shank
Product Description
Industrial Grade M35 Cobalt HSS
Hymnorq M35 Cobalt Step Drill: Built for Hard Metals
Stop struggling with stainless steel. Our M35 Cobalt bit is engineered for 304 stainless and hard alloys. With 5% Cobalt for heat resistance, a dual spiral flute for fast clearing, and a 118° split point, it delivers the 5X longevity and precision that professional workshops demand.
Advanced Anatomy of the M35 Cobalt Step Bit
5% Cobalt Alloy
Standard bits melt under pressure. Our 5% Cobalt blend maintains structural integrity and sharpness even at red-hot temperatures.
Dual Spiral Flutes
Dual spiral flutes clear metal chips instantly to reduce friction and heat. Prevents jamming and ensures a clean, burr-free hole every time.
1/4" Hex Shank
Fits standard drills and impact drivers. Provides anti-slip grip and maximum torque transfer for heavy-duty drilling.
118° Split Point
The 118° split point prevents walking and skidding. It ensures a fast, precise start on metal surfaces without the need for a center punch.
M35 Cobalt vs. Standard HSS Bits
Standard HSS bits burn out quickly on hard metals. Our M35 Cobalt alloy withstands temperatures up to 650°C, delivering 5X the lifespan. It effortlessly slices through 304 stainless steel, saving you the time and cost of replacing broken bits.
True 5mm Vertical Steps for Flawless Cylindrical Holes
Stop creating tapered, funnel-shaped holes when working with thicker metals.
Unlike cheap alternatives with shallow steps, the Hymnorq M35 bit features a true 5mm vertical step depth. This allows you to bore perfectly straight, cylindrical holes through materials up to 5mm thick.
Additionally, the permanent laser-etched markings from 4mm to 20mm will never rub off, ensuring you always drill to the exact diameter required with absolute precision.
Replace an Entire Drill Bit Set & Streamline Workflow
Stop wasting time constantly swapping bits for different hole sizes. This single Hymnorq M35 step bit integrates 9 essential metric sizes (4mm to 20mm) into one compact powerhouse.
By replacing a cumbersome 9-piece twist drill set, it lightens your toolbox and streamlines your workflow.
You can seamlessly drill or enlarge holes to the exact diameter required without ever taking the bit out of your chuck. Maximum efficiency for professionals.
Multi-Material Versatility: From Hard Metals to Plastics
304 Stainless Steel
Cuts through hard stainless steel (up to 5mm thick) effortlessly. Ideal for electricians and panel builders.
Carbon Steel & Iron
Perfect for automotive repair and metalworking. Quickly enlarges holes in thick iron and carbon steel plates.
Aluminum & Copper
Dual spiral flutes prevent softer metals from melting or clogging the bit, ensuring a smooth and burr-free finish.
Plastics & PVC
Delivers precise, clean edges on plastic enclosures and PVC pipes without cracking or shattering the material.
-
Why must I use cutting oil or water during drilling?
Friction causes extreme heat. Without cooling fluid, the bit anneals and dulls instantly. Continuous lubrication prevents burning and ensures a 5X lifespan.
-
Can I use a hand drill on 3mm thick stainless steel?
No. For stainless steel over 1mm thick, a bench drill is mandatory. Hand drill vibrations will easily snap the hard but brittle cobalt bit.
-
Why did my bit turn red or get dull on the first use?
Burning is usually caused by high RPMs or dry drilling. For hard metals, always use low speeds, firm pressure, and continuous cooling to protect the edge.
-
How does M35 Cobalt differ from standard HSS bits?
Standard HSS quickly loses temper on 304 stainless steel. Our 5% Cobalt alloy maintains "Red Hardness" at high temperatures, cutting effortlessly.
-
What is the step height and maximum drilling thickness?
Each step has a true 5mm depth. This allows you to bore perfect, non-tapered cylindrical holes in materials up to 5mm thick (bench drill required).
- PREMIUM M35 COBALT ALLOY: Crafted from high-speed M35 grade steel blended with 5% cobalt. This hardened alloy provides exceptional heat resistance and significantly extends the lifespan of the bit, allowing you to easily cut through abrasive materials that destroy standard bits.
- 9-IN-1 VERSATILITY (4mm - 20mm): Eliminate the need for a knockout punch or constantly changing bits. This single unibit features 9 step sizes ranging from 4mm to 20mm, making it the perfect tool for creating new holes or effortlessly enlarging existing ones in thin metals.
- SMOOTH & JAM-FREE DRILLING: Engineered with a double spiral flute design, this bit clears chips faster and delivers smoother, cleaner cuts. The 135° split-point tip ensures a rapid start and prevents "walking" or wandering, completely eliminating the need for a center punch.
- IDEAL FOR HARD & SOFT METALS: Specifically designed for drilling through stainless steel, cast iron, titanium, sheet metal, iron, brass, copper, and aluminum. (Note: For maximum longevity, always use cutting fluid/lubricant and drill at a low RPM).
- SECURE 1/4" HEX SHANK: Unlike round shanks that slip, our 1/4-inch hex shank provides a tight, non-slip grip for maximum torque. It is highly compatible with standard 3-jaw drill chucks. (Please note: Shank length may vary for certain quick-change impact drivers; can be easily adapted or gripped with a standard chuck).
