Drill America VAC2 Step Drill Bit #13

The Drill America VAC2 is a high-speed steel step drill bit designed for creating multiple hole sizes in thin materials. It suits professionals and DIY users who need to drill steel, copper, aluminum, plastic, or wood without switching bits. The round shank fits standard drill chucks for broad compatibility.

118° Conventional Point & Spiral Flute

The 118-degree conventional point allows the bit to start drilling on contact without a center punch. Its exclusive single radial concave flute cuts perfectly round holes and automatically deburrs the top edge. The uncoated bright finish means the cutting edges can be resharpened by the user to extend service life.

1/8 to 1/2 Inch Hole Range

This #13 size bit covers a range from 1/8 inch up to 1/2 inch in a single tool, reducing the need for multiple individual twist drills. It performs best in thin sheet stock where the step design can fully engage each diameter. Thicker workpieces or high-volume production runs may exceed the practical depth capacity of the stepped profile.

Questions about this item

Which step drill size should I choose for holes between 1/8" and 1/2"?

The #13 size covers the full 1/8"-1/2" range in a single bit, so you only need this one version for those diameters.

What does the 118° point angle mean when I am drilling?

The 118° conventional point is a general-purpose geometry that self-starts without centre-punching and works well in steel, copper, aluminium and other thin materials.

How does the round shank affect use in my drill?

The round shank fits any standard three-jaw chuck and the single radial concave flute cuts clean, round holes while automatically deburring the top edge.
