Drill bit 14 Degrees East DT6520, 123 mm length, single piece

14 Degrees East DT6520 drill bit, 123 mm overall length, single piece. This compact drill bit is designed for use with standard drill chucks and provides a balance of reach and maneuverability for confined or precise drilling operations. Constructed from CrNiMo steel, the bit is engineered to deliver reliable power transmission and increased resistance to breakage under demanding loads. An anti-slip shank with three milled clamping surfaces reduces rotation in the chuck for more consistent drilling.

Advantages

The CrNiMo steel construction gives enhanced torsional strength and durability compared with standard carbon steels, supporting sustained performance in repetitive or higher-load drilling. The short 123 mm overall length improves control and access in tight spaces while reducing runout and vibration during use. The anti-slip shank with three flattened surfaces improves grip in standard chucks and reduces the chance of slippage under torque. Designed as a single-piece bit, it offers straightforward handling and replacement when needed.

Suitable for

• Woodworking and cabinetry
• Drilling plastics and composite materials
• Working with mild steel and non-ferrous metals
• Light masonry tasks where appropriate tip geometry is used

Key specifications

• Overall length: 123 mm
• Construction material: CrNiMo steel for improved strength and breakage resistance
• Shank type: anti-slip with three milled clamping surfaces
• Supply: single piece
• Compatibility: standard drill chucks

How to use

Fit the drill bit securely into a compatible standard chuck, aligning one of the milled shank surfaces for best grip. Select spindle speed and feed appropriate to the work material: lower speeds for metals, moderate for plastics and wood, and specialized settings for masonry depending on bit tip. Apply steady pressure and allow the bit to cut without forcing; withdraw periodically to clear chips when drilling deeper holes. After use, clean debris and store the bit to prevent corrosion and damage.

Usage recommendations

Use cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling mild steel to extend bit life and reduce heat; for wood and plastics, use appropriate speed and avoid excessive heat build-up. Verify tip geometry before attempting harder masonry. Ensure the chuck is tightened onto the milled shank surfaces to minimize slippage and maintain drilling accuracy.
