Sutton
Sutton Panel D/End #30 Drill Bit — #30 (3.26mm)
Part No: 165611285 | Barcode: 9311744442461 | Series: Panel & Spot Weld
The Sutton 165611285 is a panel d/end #30 drill, #30 (3.26mm), designed for sheet-metal and auto body work where a regular jobber drill would either skate, walk, or punch right through both panels. Short flute length keeps the bit rigid; the specially-ground point cuts through the top panel and stops cleanly without grabbing the panel underneath.

Key Features & Benefits
- Specialised geometry for thin sheet — spot-weld and TuPoint drills have a flat or shallow cutting profile so they cut through the surface panel cleanly without grabbing or instantly punching through to the second panel.
- Short flute and stub length — the working portion is only as long as it needs to be, which dramatically reduces deflection and walking on hard, glossy panel surfaces.
- HSS or HSS-Cobalt cutting edges — the cobalt-bearing variants (D203 series) hold up to repeated drilling through tempered spot welds without burning or losing the cutting edge.
- Self-centring point — locks onto the centre of a spot weld or marked location and resists the bit walking off across the panel surface.
- Suits cordless and corded drills — designed for hand-held use, no special drill press required.
When to Use This Drill
The Sutton 165611285 (panel d/end #30, #30 (3.26mm)) is the right tool whenever the job involves sheet metal where you can’t afford to over-drill: removing factory spot welds to release damaged panels, drilling new mounting holes in body panels, repairing torn sheet metal, or general fitout work in metal cabinets. For thicker plate work or general drilling in solid material, use a standard jobber drill instead.
Pro Tip: Run spot-weld drills at 500–800 RPM with firm steady pressure — the cutting geometry depends on consistent feed to actually shear the weld nugget rather than skating. If the drill is grabbing or chattering, you’re going too slow; if it’s squealing and not advancing, you’re going too fast. Slow steady pressure works.
