Review on πŸ’‘ SE 8257HDB Precision Twist Drill Gauges by Kevin Bucher

Revainrating 4 out of 5

but they work great at 1200 rpm.

Not that it was unexpected, but these ultra-thin drill bits bent badly when working with round objects (like a pipe). As long as there's a center hole to get the Leading drill bit will do what you want. One thing I've found when using them (particularly in a drill press) is that you want to reduce the RPM on them. I've screwed two of these by drilling through thin brass at 2000rpm, but at 1200rpm they work fine.

Pros
  • Size: 57
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
