Drill bit AWTools AW40367 — model AW40367, weight 1.23 kg

The AWTools AW40367 drill bit is a carbon steel accessory engineered for standard drilling tasks in wood, veneered chipboard and plywood. With a threaded tip and a hexagonal shank, this replacement or spare bit offers stability during use and efficient material removal thanks to its spiral flute design. The tool weighs 1.23 kg and is intended for workshop, construction and maintenance applications where a durable drilling solution is required.

Advantages

Constructed from high quality carbon steel, the AWTools AW40367 provides strength and wear resistance appropriate for repeated use. The threaded tip helps initiate precise drilling and reduces wandering at the start of the cut. A hexagonal shank secures the bit in chucks and quick-change holders, minimising slippage. The spiral flute accelerates chip evacuation to maintain cutting efficiency and reduce clogging.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in solid wood for joinery and carpentry
• Working with veneered chipboard for furniture assembly
• Puncturing plywood panels for installation and repair tasks
• Replacing worn or damaged bits in compatible drilling equipment

Key specifications

• Material: high quality carbon steel
• Shank type: hexagonal shank for anti-slip mounting
• Tip: threaded tip for precise drilling start
• Flute: spiral design for fast chip removal
• Weight: 1.23 kg

How to use

Select a compatible drill or quick-change holder that accepts hexagonal shanks and secure the AWTools AW40367 firmly. Mark the drilling position, align the threaded tip with the mark and start drilling at a moderate speed to allow the tip to engage. Apply steady, even pressure while allowing the spiral flute to evacuate chips; reduce speed when approaching the far face of thin panels to avoid splintering. After drilling, withdraw the bit while the drill is running briefly to clear remaining chips if necessary and inspect the hole for clean edges.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (eye protection, gloves) and select drill speeds suited to the workpiece thickness. For veneered or laminated surfaces, consider backing the workpiece to minimise tear-out. Store the bit dry and clean to prevent corrosion and inspect regularly for wear; replace when cutting performance degrades.
