- Comparing a 3/8 Matco Hyper Step drill bit with a Dewalt Pilot Point and a Norseman made in the USA.
Screw all the talk, make your own opinions of the different bits. I was surprised with the outcome for sure.
We have a rule in the shop. If you cook an expensive dill bit being an ass (not using oil) thats exactly where it's going. While it's still hot mind you.
Would be interested to see how the Hyper steps are compared to Norseman's Vortex bits now that they're out
Thing about the pricing isn't just for a 'set', but for the replacements for the few that you actually use and will need to be eventually replaced.
There is also the speed of cut Vs cost for estimating total cost of using the drills.
Last 5 bits ive bought were the norseman Vortex. My other bits are regular norseman. No opinion yet about which is better but I like the fact that with a drill doctor I can always have a fresh bit with the non vortex norsemans. With the vortex's its going to have to be reprofiled once they need resharpening. After seeing this video, ill just stick with regular norseman in the future. Vortex might be initially faster but if you bugger up one of the steps while hand drilling you have to replace or reprofile.
Waiting for that update!
Thinks for the demonstration.
i have the hypersteps and ive found they need a bit more rpm to cut effectively, if its too slow the cutting performance drops dramatically, not sure why that is
I am going to just start using them and do a review after a few months. I wasnt impressed with the initial findings but after the last week of using them I think there is an advantage.
Sorry but I disagree. I have Norseman vortex point drill bits and the Dewalt pilot point set and I can say with 100% certainty faster is not better. Fast = more heat and heat is a drill bit killer and harden your work while you're drilling. Also a drop of cutting fluid goes a long way.
Great video
They sell cobalt ones now.VIM too.
I see you have the same issues I do, most cordless drill have chucks that have a hard time keeping the drill bits.
Always. But that drill has been used and abused and it absolutely needs a new chuck.
Damn I just bought the hyper steps today wish I woulda seen this first 😨 I thought they were suppose to be good
They are great bits. Their only good for mild steel, not hardend steel.
Why don't you try Wurth metal drill bits with a stepped tip
Really wish we could have entered the competition! ;)
I just got a set from a tool dealer and havnt realy seen a difference in thicker material from a standard hss twist drill
Hyper steps are used only for mild steel , not hardened steel bro
You clearly have not seen their advertising...
So basically hyper steps are just a stupid gimmick. Just buy regular made in the USA cobalt drill bits use proper feeds and speeds and use cutting oil and you can drill through anything.
Not to mention you can sharpen them when they get dull unlike the hyper steps
Yes and no. The lifetime warranty through my dealer is superb. I will shoot an update as I am very happy with them
No oil and way to fast
The RPMs was the recommended for that diameter and was a torture test so no oil. That said I need to shoot an update now that I realize how they behave is different then normal bits and the speed is the biggest change over industry standards
