Step Drill Bit · 1/4 in to 7/8 in · Quick-Change 1/4 in Hex Shank · IDEAL Industries 35-522
Quick-change step drill bit for drilling and enlarging holes from 1/4 in to 7/8 in in sheet metal, plastic, copper, brass and similar materials. Features an 11-step range, 1/16 in increments, split-point tip and 1/4 in hex shank for fast bit changes in drills and impact drivers.
What this product is for
The IDEAL Industries 35-522 is a quick-change step drill bit for electricians and contractors who need to drill or enlarge clean holes from 1/4 in to 7/8 in (6.4 mm to 22.2 mm). It is suited to repetitive holemaking in sheet metal, panels, boxes, enclosures and other thin materials commonly encountered in electrical work.
Use for
- Enlarging existing holes in panels and enclosures
- Drilling conduit entry holes in sheet metal
- Working in mild steel, aluminium, copper, brass, plastic and similar materials
- Fast bit changes with impact drivers or drills using a 1/4 in hex interface
Avoid for
- Use on or near live voltage
- Heavy plate, structural steel or applications beyond the bit's intended step-bit use
- Jobs requiring exact hole saw style cutting in thick material
Best for
Best for service work, panel work and fabrication tasks where one bit needs to cover multiple common hole sizes. The 1/16 in step spacing is useful when gradually opening holes without changing bits.
Installed in
Typically used on job sites, in electrical rooms, maintenance shops, service vans and fabrication benches. Commonly paired with cordless drills and impact drivers that accept a 1/4 in hex shank.
Why this product exists
This step bit reduces bit changes when drilling multiple hole diameters in thin material. The split-point tip helps start holes with less walking, while the double-fluted design supports smoother cutting and chip removal.
Compared with similar products
Compared with standard twist bits, a step drill bit can cover multiple hole sizes in one tool and is commonly preferred for sheet metal and enclosure work. Compared with larger step bits, this model tops out at 7/8 in (22.2 mm), which suits many common electrical knockout and entry-hole tasks without moving to a larger bit. Typical guidance only: step bits are generally best in thinner materials, and actual performance depends on material type, thickness, speed, lubrication and operator technique.
