A drill designed to eliminate center punching, reduce vibrations, and extend tool life
When machining, the beginning of drilling makes all the difference.
There is no doubt: the first contact between the drill and the workpiece determines the rest of the process. An inaccurate entry causes deviations, vibrations, and premature tool wear.
How can this be avoided?
The Step Point drill from Hepyc Cutting Tool Experts has been designed to optimize that crucial first moment, enabling more controlled, stable, and precise drilling right from the start.
Precision without the need for center punching
Its step point tip provides precise self-centering without the need for center punching, while progressive penetration reduces cutting forces and minimizes vibrations.
This approach not only improves hole quality but also extends tool life by reducing cutting edge wear.
A drill designed for easier, more precise, and safer drilling.
The 30° helix geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation, preventing clogging and reducing heat generation. In addition, the three-flat shank ensures reliable torque transmission, especially in manual applications.
Application versatility
The HSS Step Point drill is designed for a wide range of workshop applications: steels up to 800 N/mm², cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and plastics.
This combination makes it practical for both series production and maintenance or repair work.
What benefits does it bring to professionals?
-
Eliminates one process step: no center punching required.
-
Greater accuracy in every hole.
-
Less cutting edge wear, resulting in longer tool life.
-
Reduced vibrations and less downtime in the workshop.
