A step drill includes a distal end, an opposite proximal end, a drill tip and at least one drill step. The drill tip has a tip at the distal end of the step drill and comprises a first number of geometrically defined cutters, each of which is paired with a first flute and lies on an imaginary first circular line about a longitudinal axis of the step drill. The imaginary first circular line has a first radius. The at least one drill step is arranged at a distance from the distal end and has an end face with a second number of geometrically defined cutters each of which is paired with a second flute and lies on an imaginary second circular line that runs about the longitudinal axis of the step drill and has a second radius. The first radius is smaller than the second radius. The first flutes of the drill tip and the second flutes of the drill step merge in a region, which is arranged at a greater distance from the distal end than the end face of the drill step, and form a single flute.
