Greenlee 34401C #1 Cobalt KwikStepper Step Bit

Using the Greenlee 34401C step drill bit is quite straightforward. First, make sure your drill chuck has a minimum size of 3/8' (9.5mm) to fit the bit properly. Then, select the appropriate step on the bit according to the hole size you need. The bit can cut through various materials like stainless steel, mild steel, and more. When starting to drill, place the split - point tip on the material. This tip helps the bit stay in place and makes it easier to penetrate with less force. While drilling, keep in mind the maximum material thickness of 10 gauge (3.5mm) stainless steel. Don't try to drill through thicker materials as it may damage the bit. As for maintenance, after each use, clean the bit to remove any debris. The steam oxide finish helps keep the bit cool, but it's still a good idea to let the bit cool down between long - duration drilling tasks. Store the bit in a dry place to prevent rusting. By following these steps, you can get the most out of your Greenlee 34401C step drill bit.
