Drill bit set Alpen-Maykestag PTM 5 Profi Holz 600114100 — For wood, sizes 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 mm

Alpen-Maykestag PTM 5 Profi Holz is a set of five wood drill bits in diameters 4, 5, 6, 8 and 10 mm designed for accurate and clean holes in a variety of wood materials. The set covers common sizes used in furniture making, joinery and general repair tasks, offering a compact selection for routine woodworking operations. Each bit is shaped to provide straight drilling and efficient chip removal when used at appropriate speeds and with compatible chucks.

Advantages

The set provides a practical range of diameters for everyday woodworking without having to switch individual bits frequently. Bits are manufactured with geometry suitable for wood to reduce splintering and deliver cleaner hole edges. Packaging keeps the drill bits organized and accessible, while standardized shank sizes ensure compatibility with most handheld and bench drills. The selection of sizes supports both delicate and more robust fastening or dowelling tasks.

Suitable for

• Drilling clean holes in softwood and hardwood
• Furniture assembly and repair
• Joinery and dowel drilling
• Carpentry, shelving and fitting tasks
• DIY home improvement projects involving wood

Key specifications

• Set composition: five drill bits
• Diameters: 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm
• Intended material: wood (softwood and hardwood)
• Shank: straight cylindrical shanks compatible with standard drill chucks
• Design focus: geometry for reduced splintering and efficient chip evacuation

How to use

Select the drill bit with the required diameter and insert it securely into the drill chuck, tightening according to the drill manufacturer’s instructions. Set the drill to an appropriate speed for the wood type — lower speeds for harder woods and higher speeds for softwoods — and position the drill perpendicular to the work surface for straight holes. Use a backing support or sacrificial board where possible to minimize exit splintering. Clear chips frequently and allow the bit to cool if performing extended drilling to maintain hole quality and tool life.

Usage recommendations

Use steady, even pressure rather than forcing the bit; inspect bits for wear before use; apply appropriate drilling speeds for the wood species; and store the set in its case to protect cutting edges.
