## Summary description

Asta drill bit designed for spot welds, size 8 x 40 mm. Intended for drilling through sheet metal weld spots and similar thin-metal applications. Provides precise hole creation for removal of welded joints or preparatory work in auto body repair and metal fabrication. Compatible with standard drills supporting 8 mm shank diameters.

## Long description

The Asta Drill Bit 8 x 40 mm for Spot Welds is designed for controlled removal of spot welds and drilling through thin sheet metal. With an 8 mm shank diameter and a 40 mm overall length, this drill bit is intended to create precise holes for separating welded joints, preparing surfaces for repair, or making pilot holes in automotive bodywork and light metal fabrication. It is compatible with standard handheld and bench drills that accept an 8 mm shank and is suited to repeatable spot-weld work where accuracy and clean edges are required.
Advantages
This Asta spot-weld drill bit offers a straight shank and a geometry optimised for cutting through weld material while minimising damage to the surrounding sheet. The 8 mm diameter produces consistent hole size for mechanical separation or subsequent rework. The 40 mm length provides sufficient reach for typical spot-weld removal without excessive overhang, and the tool is manufactured to tolerances suitable for repeatable positioning in repair jigs and drilling guides.
Suitable for
Removing spot welds on vehicle body panels
Preparing welded sheet-metal joints for replacement or repair
Drilling pilot holes in thin metal for fabrication or trimming
Workshop and maintenance tasks requiring precise small-diameter holes in sheet metal
Key specifications
Shank diameter: 8 mm
Overall length: 40 mm
Application: spot-weld removal and thin sheet-metal drilling
Compatibility: standard drills accepting 8 mm shanks
Material suitability: steel sheet, automotive body panels and similar thin metals
How to use
Secure the workpiece and mark the spot weld to be removed. Fit the drill bit into a drill chuck compatible with an 8 mm shank and ensure it is tightened securely. Operate the drill at a moderate speed appropriate for thin steel; apply steady pressure and keep the bit perpendicular to the work surface to avoid walking. Pause periodically to clear chips and inspect progress. After drilling through the weld spot, separate the components using appropriate tools and clean the hole edges if required for further repair or joining.
Usage recommendations
For safe and effective results, use cutting fluid or light oil when drilling thicker or hardened spots, wear eye and hand protection, and replace the bit when wear causes excessive burrs or reduced cutting performance. Match drill speed to material thickness and maintain steady, controlled pressure to preserve hole quality and extend tool life.
