HSS multi diameter step drills produce good quality holes in a wide variety of sheet metal, using either a bench drill or light pedestal drilling machine. Manufactured from high speed steel, they offer sound rigidity, strength and stability when machining. Each tool cuts parallel holes in a range of specific sizes and is compatible with materials up to 1/8" (3mm) thick.

Features and Benefits
• High speed steel construction for greater strength, rigidity and stability
• Excellent wear and heat resistance for prolonged tool life
• Cuts parallel holes in sheet metal

Typical Applications
• Drilling
• Sheet metal

Notes
• Available sizes 1-12mm to 6-37mm

The Kennedy® variable pitch hole saws deliver high quality holes in a range of materials, including wood, steel, brass, bronze, and cast iron. The M3 HSS cutting teeth aggressively cut to give a very smooth finish with little to no tear out.

Features and Benefits
• Cuts up to 40% faster than constant pitch saws
• Varying tooth pitch disrupts harmonics to substantially reduce noise
• Tooth life is extended when used in conjuction with a cordless drill

Typical Applications
• Construction
• Engineering
• Maintenance

Notes
• 4-6 teeth per inch
• 28.5mm (11/8") cutting depth

Cylindrical-End Cutting
All sizes are nominal with a 6mm shank unless other wise stated.

Cut Numbers:

Cut 3 - Rapid Cut.
for use on softer non ferrous and plastic materials, i.e aluminium, fibreglass, plastics, hard rubber and zinc alloy,

Cut 6 - Double Cut.
Crosscut and double cut to improve control and chipbreaks. Manufactured from high grade tungsten carbide for general-purpose use.

Cut 9 - Chipbreaker
Chipbreaker fast stock removal for improved control and reduced chips for use on hard materials, i.e. steel alloy 50RC, 60RC, carbon and cast iron.

Suitable for deburring and polishing of cast iron, cast steel, carbon steel, alloy steel and stainless steel etc.
up to HRC65 hardness.

Please note:
• Work piece and tools should always be steady and well supported.
• Carbide burrs are not suitable for 'milling' large amounts of material, they are for light stock removal and high revolutions 'LOW FEED - HIGH SPEED'.
• Always ensure that at least 70% of the shank length is clamped by the collet or chuck of the tool being used.
• Always ensure that the tool is rated to the recommended operating speed of the burr.
