Similar to this one bit without the nub on the end. I managed to lose a friend's so I must get a new one for him. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 4,168 "Hey! I sound like Darth Vader!! | | "Hey!

They say to slip a washer over the bit to stop you from drilling the hole too big. But since the bit is conical, you will end up with a hole smaller than the washer's hole. I suppose you need to drill out the washer a little in order to get the desired diameter.

Right up there with a "fits-all", "duck tape", screwdriver pry bar and a big "make it fit" hammer.
The step drill is used a lot for making holes in electrical panels to fit conduit and Romex connectors.
