To get the best bang for your buck when drilling into 10mm Mild Steel Flat Bar using an ONSITE+ Step Tip Drill Bit 5.5 – 8.0mm, the Alpha recommendation is using a Cordless Drill Driver.
In-house Alpha expert and product experience technician, Joel, has tried and tested the Onsite+ Step Tip Drill Bit range so he can offer the most accurate and relevant recommendations and instructions for you.
The purpose of this testing was to find whether a cordless drill driver would produce the best results in specific materials, by seeing how many holes a 8.0mm Onsite+ Step Tip Drill Bit would drill before blunting.
