5/64 Fractional Mechanics Length Step Point Drill Bit KnKut Brass

Description

Product Overview

The KnKut 5/64 fractional mechanics length step point drill bit is engineered for precision and durability. Crafted in the United States, this drill bit features a solid brass finish that resists corrosion and provides a smooth cutting surface. The mechanics length design shortens the overall shank, delivering a sturdier construction that reduces flex and improves torque transfer in high‑stress applications. With a 5/64 inch (0.198 mm) tip diameter, the bit is ideal for fine‑detail work where accuracy is paramount.

Key specifications include a compact 1 × 1 × 1 inch package size, a lightweight 8‑ounce weight for easy handling, and a model number KNK‑KK10‑5/64. The step point geometry starts cutting on first contact, self‑centers the bit, and eliminates the need for a pre‑drilled pilot hole or center punch. This design also allows the bit to enlarge existing holes without compromising the tip, making it a versatile tool for a range of materials.

Usage

Designed for professional mechanics, machinists, and serious DIY hobbyists, this drill bit excels in environments where space is limited and precision is essential. Whether you are working on automotive engines, aerospace components, or custom metal fabrications, the short shank provides better control in tight quarters. The brass finish ensures reliable performance on hard steel, brass, sheet metal, and acrylics, delivering clean, burr‑free holes even in demanding conditions.

Because the step point starts cutting immediately, users experience reduced cycle times and less wear on the workpiece. The bit is compatible with standard 1/4‑inch and 3/8‑inch drill chucks, allowing seamless integration into existing power tool setups. Its ability to enlarge pre‑existing holes makes it a valuable addition for repair work, retrofitting, and fine‑tuning assemblies where exact dimensions are required.
