Drill bit Condor spiral wood hex shank 8 mm CON-DA460-8

Spiral wood drill bit Condor with an 8 mm cutting diameter and a hex shank. The CON-DA460-8 model is made for drilling clean, precise holes in soft and hard wood, plywood and chipboard. Its spiral flute removes chips efficiently while the hexagonal shank provides a secure grip in chucks and fast changeover in handheld drills and drill drivers commonly used in carpentry and installation work.

Advantages

The spiral flute geometry ensures fast chip evacuation and reduces clogging, delivering smooth, straight holes. The 8 mm diameter offers a standard size for dowels and fastening work. The hex shank improves torque transfer and prevents slipping in quick-change chucks and bit holders. The bit is suitable for both handheld drills and drill drivers, enabling versatility for professional and DIY woodworking tasks.

How to use

Secure the hex shank in the drill chuck or quick-change holder and set the drill to an appropriate speed for the material. Start drilling at a perpendicular angle, applying steady pressure while allowing the spiral flute to clear chips. For deeper holes, withdraw the bit periodically to remove accumulated debris. After use, clean the flute and store the bit in a dry place to prevent corrosion and maintain cutting performance.

Izmantošanas ieteikumi

For best results, select a drill speed matched to the wood type: lower RPM for hardwoods and higher RPM for softwoods. Use light lubricant or wax only when specified for specialized woodwork to reduce friction. Check the bit for dulling or damage before use and replace when cutting performance declines.
