A step drill bit is a cone shaped bit, which can be used to drill different hole sizes. The tip of the bit will drill the smallest hole, with diameter increases as you drill deeper into the material. Step drills are perfect for cutting sheet metal, and are also commonly used on thin materials such as plywood, laminate and plexi glass.
