PFERD has ones specifically for stainless https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWDaLajF0Y4

They will cut stainless but you have to go slow and use cutting oil or they will burn out rather quickly. I have only used them on thin stainless to re-size a previously drilled hole. Good luck!

I wore them out very fast on aluminum. So I would not recommend them. I was very disappointed.

yes , i use them on tool steels up to 65rockw. stainless is much softer but tough.

Hi Lou,Yes, this bit is made of TiCo Hi-Density Carbide for maximum cutting life. Hope that helps!

If you can find a blade that will cut stainless steel, it would do fine. Unfortunately, I don't know of any such blade?? Stainless if very hard to cut and it would destroy a blade designed for anything else.

I think this should work. The gauge of wire these will cut depends on the material. I haven't worked with Kanthal wire, but for reference, the cutters work on 20 ga stainless but not 18 ga (1/2 hard, I think?) but will happily cut 18 ga aluminum.

Brad points are for wood and I would not try them on steel. See previous answer too.Regular twist bits work on steel especially with a drill press. If you are worried about accuracy, center punch your hole location.

I. Don't know. I never cut metal with them. We are very pleased with our set. However, our grandson did use one of the knives to cut styrofoam, and also cut into our wooden table, and it did dull it somewhat.

Yes, just run water on the bit while you cut. I used them on granite slabs and they worked great.

Stainless steel in general is a soft alloy, therefore these bits should be fine according to the research I did. I have drilled soft metals but not stainless steel thus far. Just be sure to check the speed your drill should be at. If you are unsure as I initially was amazon had another set I purchased with this. It was the Dremel Diamond point set (7105 & 7144) DRE7150. It's a set of two bits which I used for hardened steel and other such materials. Last be sure you lubricate your drill bit. I use Forney 20857 cutting fluid, although you may already have a lub of choice. I hope this helps you.

Hmm, no idea really, but I doubt it. They are crappy bits, by the way. Dull easily and rust in a jiffy. I would go with genuine Bosch bits if they will fit. As. Licensed contractor who needs plenty of this gear, I've always had good luck with Bosch products of every sort.

If the metal shanks are relatively small and are made from a soft metal like copper, brass, or aluminum, I believe these will work. We use these for video installation work for flush cutting plastic wire ties and for electronic circuit board repair and manufacturing. These cut up to 18 to 20 gage copper without any damage to the cutting surfaces.

Yes they will. I used them in my old set ( blue colored tools) with no problems.

yes but remember, stainless only means u can get the rust off. it is a ground blade,, not stamped and has to be kept dry

Yes these bits are perfect for that, thats all I use them for, they speed through quarter inch steel easily

Yes....they are made to drill metal. Make sure you don't put lateral pressure on your drill....you will snap any bit if you don't use the tool properly. Drill bits are designed to go in/out, up and down, not in and then side to side.

They say they will. I have not tried them. I do know that Youtube has videos comparing different machines and die cuts. Hope this is helpful.

I use them to drill into annealed steal with no problem. I go slow and use a cutting fluid just incase. But they get the job done really well! Haven't broken or dulled badly like my other bits.
