Frequently asked questions

Common questions about RUKO TOOLS from 3G Electric.

What is the difference between RUKO step drill bits and RUKO tube and sheet drill bits?

RUKO step drill bits are designed to create multiple hole sizes in thin materials by stepping up through progressively larger diameters. They are available in size ranges such as 3/16" to 1/2" or 7/8" to 1-3/8" and feature a TiN coating for wear resistance. RUKO tube and sheet drill bits, such as the 783YM7 (MPN 101003F), are specifically for drilling clean holes in tubes, sheet metal, and profiles. They have a TiAlN coating and are available in metric sizes like 16 mm to 30.5 mm. Both types have a 3-flats shank for secure chuck grip and are not impact rated.

What materials can RUKO step drill bits drill through?

RUKO step drill bits are suitable for drilling stepped holes in sheet metal, plastics, and thin materials. They are made of high-speed steel (HSS) with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating, which provides wear resistance and extends tool life. The 3-flats shank ensures secure grip in standard drill chucks. They are not intended for impact drilling. For thicker materials or specific applications, consult the technical specifications of each drill bit.

What is the size range of RUKO step drill bits available from 3G Electric?

3G Electric supplies RUKO step drill bits in various size ranges, including 3/16" to 1/2" (SKU 828XJ6, MPN 101701T), 3/16" to 7/8" (SKU 828XK2, MPN 101704T), 5/16" to 1" (SKU 828XK4, MPN 101705T), 7/8" to 1-1/8" (SKU 828XL0, MPN 101709T), 7/8" to 1-3/8" (SKU 828XK6, MPN 101706T), and others. Each step drill bit creates multiple hole sizes within its range. The specific step diameters and increments are defined by the manufacturer part number.

Are RUKO drill bits suitable for stainless steel?

RUKO drill bits are primarily designed for sheet metal, plastics, and thin materials. The HSS step drill bits with TiN coating are suitable for drilling in various metals, including steel and stainless steel, but performance depends on the specific material thickness and hardness. For stainless steel, it is recommended to use appropriate cutting speeds and lubrication. The tube and sheet drill bits with TiAlN coating offer increased wear resistance for drilling in tubes and profiles. Always refer to the manufacturer's recommendations for specific applications.

What is the shank type on RUKO step drill bits?

Most RUKO step drill bits feature a 3-flats shank, which is a cylindrical shank with three flattened sides. This design prevents the drill bit from slipping in a standard drill chuck, ensuring secure grip and efficient power transmission. The 3-flats shank is compatible with common drill chucks and is a standard feature across the RUKO step drill bit range supplied by 3G Electric, including SKUs 828XK8, 828XJ6, 828XL0, 828XK6, 828XK4, 828XK2, and 828XK0.

Can 3G Electric provide RUKO tube and sheet drill bits in metric sizes?

Yes, 3G Electric supplies RUKO tube and sheet drill bits in metric sizes. For example, SKU 783YM7 (MPN 101003F) is available in a size range of 16 mm to 30.5 mm. These drill bits are made of high-speed steel with a TiAlN coating and feature a 3-flats shank. They are designed for drilling clean holes in thin materials such as sheet metal, tubes, and profiles. For specific metric sizes and availability, contact 3G Electric with your requirements.
