Built from high-speed steel, it steps through sheet metal, thin steel plate, conduit knockout panels, PVC, and similar materials without a center punch or pilot hole. The stepped profile covers a 6 mm to 18 mm diameter range, making it a go-to bit for electricians and HVAC techs who need clean, accurate holes across a range of sizes during rough-in and service work. The 3 flatted shank provides a secure grip in standard drill chucks and reduces the risk of slipping under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis step bit is suited for light-gauge sheet metal fabrication, electrical panel work, conduit entry holes, junction box knockouts, and HVAC sheet metal applications. The single-flute geometry clears chips efficiently in thin materials, keeping cuts clean and reducing heat buildup. Packaged as a single bit, it is well matched to individual technicians, service vans, and small shop inventories that need a reliable step bit in the 6 to 18 mm range without redundant tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSelf-starting tip eliminates the need for a center punch or pilot hole on most materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteps from 6 mm to 18 mm in a single bit, reducing tool changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction provides durability across repeated use in sheet metal and thin plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3 flatted shank seats securely in drill chucks and prevents rotation under load\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation in thin-gauge materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUnibit trade name indicates OEM-style design consistent with industry-standard step bit geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in standard keyed and keyless drill chucks that accept a 3 flatted shank.

Secure the workpiece before drilling to prevent spinning or shifting. Apply steady, moderate pressure and allow the bit to step through the material at an appropriate speed for the material type. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or excessive wear is present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Diameter Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 mm to 18 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 Flatted\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: IRWIN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11103\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"IRWIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51524872798514,"sku":"11103","price":71.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6b57744d8d1b1988bfe99296aa6b4e4a.jpg?v=1785460252","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/irwin-11103-unibit-step-drill-bit-6-18-mm-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
