Drill bit BAHCO 3834-DRL — spiral cutting, Ø 6.35 mm, 1 pc

BAHCO 3834-DRL is a single spiral cutting drill bit with a 6.35 mm diameter designed for general-purpose drilling. The spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation and steady cutting action, making the bit compatible with a variety of handheld and stationary drills. This 1-piece drill bit is suitable for metalworking, woodworking and other applications where a precise 6.35 mm hole is required.

Advantages

The spiral flute design improves chip removal and reduces clogging during continuous drilling operations, helping to maintain consistent cutting performance. The 6.35 mm diameter provides an exact hole size for common fasteners and fittings, while the single-piece construction offers simplicity of use and straightforward replacement. The bit is versatile across materials when used with appropriate speeds and lubrication.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in metal sheets and light structural steel
• Creating pilot or through-holes in wood and composite panels
• General maintenance and repair tasks requiring a 6.35 mm hole
• Use in handheld drills and bench drills with compatible chucks

Key specifications

• Cutting type: spiral flute (single piece)
• Diameter: 6.35 mm
• Quantity: 1 piece
• Typical applications: metalworking, woodworking, general-purpose drilling

How to use

Secure the drill bit in the drill chuck and ensure it is tightened correctly before starting. Select an appropriate drilling speed and, for metalworking, consider using cutting fluid to extend tool life and improve chip evacuation. Apply steady, even pressure while keeping the drill perpendicular to the workpiece; for deep holes periodically withdraw the bit to clear chips. After use, store the bit in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Match drill speed and feed to the workpiece material: lower speeds for harder metals and higher speeds for wood. Use cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling metals to reduce heat and wear. Inspect the bit before use and replace if the cutting edge is worn or damaged to maintain drilling accuracy and safety.
