Emerson’s Greenlee is innovating the step bit for an advanced holemaking solution. The new Greenlee GSB Series Step Bits are manufactured in the USA and feature an improved split-point tip for even faster penetration and a patented split-step design to optimize chip load for a faster and smooth cutting experience while achieving more holes per charge.
“We’ve taken our step bit design to a whole new level, focusing on the best possible performance with cordless drills,” said Rob Bentley, senior product manager, Greenlee for Emerson. “Greenlee is proud to announce a patented design that provides the fastest, smoothest cut, the longest life and the most holes per charge.”
Progressive cutting edges on the bits provide balanced aggression to maximize torque efficiency and minimize stalling when using a cordless drill. An improved double flute design provides enhanced chip evacuation, while also increasing cutting speed and bit life. Laser markings on the bits allow for easy part and size identification. The GSB Series Step Bits for mild steel will be offered in two sets, available in 10 Imperial-sized step bits ranging from 1/8-inch to 1-3/8-inch, and three Metric-sized step bits ranging from 4mm to 32.5mm.
