Super Sonic SS-4 Made in USA Step Drill Bit Set, 4 Piece, 1/8″ to 1-1/8″
Four high speed steel step bits cover 20 hole sizes from 1/8″ to 1-1/8″, including the 7/8″ and 1-1/8″ knockouts for 1/2″ and 3/4″ conduit. One bit takes you from a pilot hole to a finished size with no bit changes, and every hole comes out round, clean and deburred.
The split point starts on contact with no pilot hole or walking. Dual flutes clear chips fast, the gold oxide finish keeps heat down, and the 3-flat shanks lock into the chuck without spinning. It’s built for electricians, HVAC, sheet metal, auto and fab shops: panels, boxes, ductwork, brackets, plastic and wood.
Made in USA from globally sourced steel. Comes in a labeled plastic index case.
Best results: stay within each bit’s max material thickness (see the table). Use a cutting fluid like Ultra Lube on steel and stainless, keep speeds moderate, clamp the work, and wear eye protection.

FAQ
How thick can these drill? Each bit cuts up to its step thickness: 1/8″ on #1, 5/32″ on #3, 1/16″ on #7, and 9/64″ on #11. That covers most sheet metal, boxes, panels and ductwork. For thicker plate, drill from both sides or use an annular cutter.
Will they drill stainless? Yes, in thin gauges. Use cutting fluid, low speed and steady pressure. For heavy or hardened stainless, use a cobalt step drill.
Can I cut conduit knockouts? Yes. The #11 cuts 7/8″ for 1/2″ conduit and 1-1/8″ for 3/4″ conduit.
