Business
Cabinet Hardware Pilot-Drill Service
Offer a per-door service to pilot and install knobs/pulls with jig-backed accuracy. The pilot point and hex shank allow fast, centered pilot holes in hardwood doors, reducing chip-out and speeding installs. Upsell soft-close hinges and hole location templates.
Custom Perforated Tin Art Shop
Sell bespoke luminaria, address lanterns, and patterned tin wall panels on Etsy or at markets. Batch drill clean dot matrices in thin metal with minimal walking and long bit life, enabling intricate designs and consistent quality.
Enclosure Modding for Makers
Provide small-batch drilling for aluminum/plastic electronics enclosures (pedals, synths, IoT boxes). Use the 7/64 as precise pilots before stepping up to final sizes. Offer CAD-to-hole layout services and quick turnaround for hobbyists and boutique builders.
DIY Drilling Template Kits
Design and sell 3D-printed drill guides for common screws (#6/#8 pilots) bundled with a pair of these bits. The pilot-tip geometry pairs well with hardened bushings, giving customers pro-level results. Market through local hardware stores and online.
Mobile Van/RV Mounting Service
Install hooks, lights, cable clips, and modular storage in vans and RVs by pre-drilling pilot holes in thin sheet metal, plywood, and plastics. The impact-ready hex shank speeds field work, while the TiN coating stands up to diverse materials.
Creative
Perforated Tin Can Lanterns
Upcycle food cans into luminaria by drilling repeating dot patterns. The pilot point won’t skate on the curved metal, and the TiN coating keeps the bit sharp through multiple cans. Freeze water inside cans before drilling to prevent deformation and get crisp, clean holes.
Spoon and Key Wind Chimes
Drill hanging holes in old spoons, forks, and keys to assemble melodic wind chimes. The pilot tip starts precisely on slick, rounded stainless surfaces, and the spiral flute clears chips so the small 7/64 holes stay clean for split rings or wire loops.
Guitar Pedal/Project Enclosures
Use the bit to pilot aluminum stompbox or electronics project boxes before stepping up to final diameters for jacks and pots. The hex shank locks into impact drivers for fast work, while the tapered core resists snapping in thicker walls.
Drainage Holes in Mini Planters
Turn tea tins and metal or plastic containers into succulent planters by drilling neat 7/64 drainage holes. The pilot point reduces walking on thin, slippery stock, and the wear-resistant coating lets you batch multiple planters without dulling.
LED Mason Jar Lid Mods
Drill precise holes in jar lids for LED string pass-throughs and ventilation. The short maximum drilling depth is ideal for thin lids, and the clean, burr-light holes make for tidy, safe cable routing.
