Many of us use step drills for making tube socket holes in amplifier chassis.
If you have struggled with the performance of step bits, it might be worthwhile to buy a better one.
Which one, you ask?

I like those vids also
I been using the HF step drill for quite awhile
It was the only thing that would drill. 1/2 inch hole in a stainless steel chassis I had
