That means steadier starts, fewer wandering holes, and more consistent hole quality—even on stainless steel and other hard metals. The flat surfaces also provide better chuck engagement, so you can push your materials harder without losing control.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eWhat you can drill with it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eStainless steel and other hard metals in automotive, fabrication, and shop applications\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThin-walled or thicker metal stock, thanks to its robust steel construction and balanced geometry\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDIY projects that require precise, repeatable holes without bit wandering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003eHow to get the best results\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eUse a lower drilling speed and steady feed—metal bits heat up quickly and require controlled cutting to maintain edge integrity\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eApply a light lubricant or cutting oil to reduce heat and extend tool life\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBegin with a center punch to guide the bit and prevent walking on hard metals\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eKeep the bit cool and clear of chips to maintain accuracy and finish quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor tasks that demand reliability and a clean, precise bore in stainless steel and other metals, the Diablo Metal Demon 31\/64 in. x 6 in. drill bit with a 3-flat shank is a focused, performance-driven choice.
