Drill Bit A Forged Tool 09083895 603002100 Alpen-Maykestag

Alpen hexagonal wood drill bit set in a compact case containing four bits designed for reliable drilling of wood-based materials and for preparing holes for dowels. The set includes bits with diameters 3.0 mm, 4.0 mm, 5.0 mm and 6.0 mm. Each bit features a centering tip and precision sharpening, and the hexagonal 1/4" shank ensures secure engagement in chucks and bit holders. The bits are heat resistant up to 250° C and are suitable for use in soft and hard metals, chipboard and hard fibre boards when appropriate.

Advantages

The hexagonal 1/4" shank provides stable fixation in drills and quick-change holders. Precision sharpening and a centering tip improve drilling accuracy and reduce wandering at the start of the hole. Heat resistance up to 250° C increases durability under demanding conditions. The compact case keeps the four sizes organized and protected for transport and storage.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in solid wood and softwood
• Preparing dowel holes in furniture assembly
• Working with chipboard and hard fibre board (HDF/MDF) when using appropriate feed and speed
• Light-duty drilling into soft and some harder metals where wood-type bits are applicable

How to use

Insert the required bit into a compatible 1/4" hex chuck or quick-change adapter and tighten securely. Mark the drilling position and, if needed, clamp the workpiece. Start drilling at low speed to allow the centering tip to locate the spot, then increase speed and feed according to the material. Use appropriate pressure and cooling intervals when drilling denser materials to avoid overheating. After use, store the bits back in the case to protect the cutting edges.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate drilling speed and moderate feed for each material; reduce speed and use intermittent operation or cooling when drilling harder materials to preserve the cutting edge and maintain the heat resistance properties.
