Step Bit Kit · 4-Piece Set, 1/8 in to 1-3/8 in Hole Range · TiN-Coated HSS with Split-Point Tips · IDEAL 35-520
What this product is for
The IDEAL 35-520 is a 4-piece electrician’s step bit kit for drilling clean, repeatable hole sizes in sheet metal, stainless steel, brass, cast iron, plastic, wood, boxes, panels, and enclosures. It combines four step bits to cover common electrical trade hole sizes from 1/8 in to 1-3/8 in (3.2 to 35 mm).
Use for
Use this kit for enlarging knockout openings, drilling control panels, junction boxes, cabinets, and general electrical fabrication where multiple hole sizes are needed without changing between many separate twist bits. The split-point tips are intended for faster starts, and the double-fluted design helps with chip removal and smoother cutting.
Avoid for
Avoid using these bits where a hole saw, knockout punch, or annular cutter is the better choice for thicker material, structural steel, or production drilling beyond the bit’s intended range. This kit is not impact rated, so it is better suited to standard drill use rather than repeated impact-driver drilling.
Best for
Best for electricians, panel builders, maintenance teams, and contractors who regularly drill a range of conduit and fitting entry sizes in metal enclosures and want one kit that stays organised in the truck or gang box.
Installed in
Typically used on electrical panels, junction boxes, cabinets, troughs, control enclosures, and fabricated metal parts in commercial, industrial, and service work.
Why this product exists
This kit reduces bit changes by combining four step bits in one case and covering a broad hole range with radius-blended steps. For trade use, that typically means faster setup and fewer separate bits to carry for common electrical drilling tasks.
Typical guidance only: actual cutting speed, finish, and bit life depend on material thickness, drill speed, lubrication, and operator technique.
Compared with similar products
Compared with a single step bit, this kit covers more common hole sizes across four tools. Compared with standard twist bits, step bits are commonly used for cleaner enlargement in thin materials and sheet metal. Compared with quick-change kits, this version is a conventional multi-bit set supplied in a hard case.
