Klein Tools 59014 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need to center punch or drill a pilot hole before using the Klein 59014 step bit?
For most sizes, no. The 59014 step drill bit has an anti-skid tip that starts the cut without center punching or a pilot hole, and the single-flute grind keeps it from skidding across the surface when you start.
2) Will a Klein step drill bit cut stainless or thick steel plate, or just thin material?
Step bits are for thin sections. The 59014 is rated to drill multiple hole sizes in thin sections of metal, plastic and wood, and it works in most metals including steel, brass, aluminum and copper. For thick plate you want a twist bit or hole saw instead, since the step geometry only cuts to the depth of each step.
3) Can an electrician use the Klein 59014 for knockouts in panel and enclosure sheet metal?
That is the job it is built for. One bit steps through multiple hole sizes in thin sheet metal, so you can open conduit and connector holes in enclosures, panel sides and device boxes without swapping bits or carrying a full knockout set. Each step size is laser etched on the bit so you can read what you are cutting mid-hole.
4) What is the advantage of a single-fluted step bit over a double-fluted one?
Two things. The single flute resists skidding when the tip first touches the work, and it is simpler to resharpen when the cutting edge dulls, since there is only one edge to dress. Double-flute bits generally cut faster but are harder to bring back once they are worn. The Klein 59014 is the single-flute version.
5) Do the hole size markings on the Klein 59014 wear off?
They are laser etched rather than printed or stamped in ink, so the size markings stay readable and permanent through normal use.
6) What is the Klein part number for the #14 single-flute step bit?
Order it as Klein Tools 59014. The #14 designation is Klein's size number for that particular step range, and the manufacturer part number and the model are the same five digits.
7) Can I use the Klein 59014 step bit in plastic and wood as well as metal?
Yes. Besides steel, brass, aluminum and copper, it cuts plastic and wood. That makes it useful for stepping a hole through a plastic enclosure or a wood backboard with the same bit you use on the sheet metal alongside it.
