Morning all.

Thanks

There is a set of stepped drills in Aldi at the moment for very little money,, quoted as carbide point.

Worth a look.

I have had a set of ALDI step drills for at least 5 years. They run true and I have frequently cut mild steel and alloy steels using them.

I bought a set of 3 Bergen ones from a trader at one of the shows, seem very good for the money, cut a nice hole

+1 for the Aldi step drills. I have the big set that includes a cone drill and the little set' like Jason's.

It amazes me how the odd geometry cuts so well.
