Drill Bit Black & Decker A7200-XJ

The Black & Decker A7200-XJ drill bit is a single-piece twist bit designed for general-purpose drilling. Manufactured for precision and durability, this bit delivers consistent hole quality in common materials such as wood, metal and plastic. Its solid construction supports repeated use in workshop and on-site tasks, making it a practical addition to a mechanic's or homeowner's toolkit.

Advantages

The drill bit combines a hardened steel shank and a ground flute geometry to provide accurate centring and reliable chip removal. The single-piece design reduces the risk of breakage at joints while offering stable rotational balance for cleaner holes. Durable surface treatment enhances wear resistance and prolongs service life under normal working conditions.

Suitable for

• Drilling pilot and through holes in soft and hardwood
• Creating holes in sheet metal and mild steel
• Making openings in plastic components and panels
• General maintenance, assembly and repair work

Key specifications

• Type: Single-piece twist drill bit
• Material compatibility: Wood, metal, plastic
• Construction: Hardened steel with ground flutes
• Design features: Centre-point geometry for accurate starts and chip evacuation
• Finish: Wear-resistant surface treatment

How to use

Secure the drill bit in the chuck of a power drill or drill press, ensuring it is tightly clamped and properly aligned. Select an appropriate drilling speed for the material: lower speeds for metal, medium for hardwood, and higher speeds for softwood and plastic. Apply steady, moderate pressure and allow the bit to cut; withdraw periodically when drilling deeper holes to clear chips and reduce heat buildup. Use cutting fluid when drilling metals to extend bit life and improve hole quality.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the bit before each use for wear or damage. Replace the bit if the cutting edges are rounded or if the flutes are clogged. Store in a dry, organised tool case to avoid corrosion and accidental damage. Match bit diameter and drill speed to the task for optimal results and longer service life.
