Drill bit set AWTools AW40511 — pack of 5 pieces, total weight 800 g

AWTools AW40511 drill bit set — pack of 5 pieces, total weight 800 g — is a compact kit for general woodworking drilling tasks. The set includes five hardened carbon steel drill bits with polished surfaces, supplied in a wooden case for convenient storage and transport. Designed to create clean holes and to remove knots and pins in wood and wood-based materials, this pack suits workshop, construction and DIY situations where a small, reliable assortment of bits is required.

Advantages

The drill bits are made of hardened carbon steel, offering durability for standard drilling through soft and medium-density wood and composite boards. Polished surfaces reduce friction and facilitate chip removal while drilling. The wooden case organises the bits and protects cutting edges during storage and transport. The compact pack of five pieces balances versatility and portability for everyday tasks.

How to use

Select a drill bit of suitable diameter for the required hole. Secure the workpiece and clamp it if necessary. Fit the chosen bit into a compatible drill or drill press chuck, tighten securely and set an appropriate rotation speed for wood. Start drilling with steady pressure, allowing the bit to cut and the polished surface to expel chips. For knotty or difficult spots, reduce speed and increase control to avoid splitting. After use, clean the bits of debris and store them in the wooden case to protect the cutting edges.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and hearing protection. Match drill speed to wood density, avoid excessive side load on the bit, and periodically clear chips to maintain cutting performance and extend tool life.
