The Greenlee 52075246 is a #3 cobalt step drill bit engineered for electricians and installers who need to enlarge and clean holes in sheet metal, panels, boxes, and enclosures without swapping bits mid-job.

Greenlee 52075246 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Greenlee 52075246 step drill bit cut stainless steel enclosures?
Yes, within limits. The 52075246 is a #3 cobalt step bit rated for material up to 10 gauge (3.5mm) stainless steel. That covers most stainless junction boxes, panel doors, and sheet enclosures. Anything heavier than 10 gauge is past its rating and you want an annular cutter or a hole saw instead. Keep the speed low and the pressure steady, which is where the cobalt grade earns its keep on abrasive stainless.
2) Is this step bit short enough to work inside a wired panel or junction box?
Overall length is 3.31 inches, which is short enough to get a drill in behind a dead front or inside a junction box where you cannot back the drill off very far. Factor in your chuck and drill head depth when you measure clearance, since those add more than the bit does.
3) How many hole sizes does one Greenlee 52075246 bit cut?
Twelve. It is a 12-step bit, so a single bit walks through twelve progressive diameters, which is why electricians carry it for panel and enclosure prep instead of a full index of twist bits. Each step also acts as its own depth stop against thin sheet.
4) Can I use a step drill bit instead of a conduit knockout punch for panel openings?
For small and mid-size openings in sheet metal, yes, and that is the normal use for the 52075246 with its 12 progressive steps up to 10 gauge stainless capacity. Step bits also clean up and enlarge an existing hole, something a knockout punch cannot do once the hole is already there. For large trade sizes in a thick enclosure, a knockout punch still gives you a rounder, burr-free hole with less heat.
5) What exact part number should I order for the Greenlee #3 cobalt 12-step drill bit?
Greenlee 52075246, the #3 cobalt step bit. That is the manufacturer part number to put on the PO, and it ships as a single bit, not a set, so order one per step size range you need covered on the truck.
6) Is the Greenlee 52075246 step bit made in the USA?
Country of origin is listed as US, which matters if you are buying against a domestic-preference or Buy American requirement on a government or institutional job. A published manufacturer spec sheet exists for the part number for submittal packages.
