Drill bit Dedra DED1529Q05 — 5 mm diameter, 64 mm length, for wood/plastic/aluminium/brick/glass

Single Dedra DED1529Q05 drill bit with 5 mm diameter and 64 mm overall length. This straight shank bit is designed for drilling clean, small-diameter holes in a variety of common materials including wood, plastic, aluminium, brick and glass. Supplied as a single piece, it is intended for general-purpose tasks such as DIY, repair and light construction where a precise, narrow hole is required.

Advantages

The 5 mm diameter provides accurate, repeatable holes for fittings and fasteners while the 64 mm overall length gives sufficient penetration for standard panels and thin masonry. Compatibility with multiple materials makes this bit versatile for mixed-material projects. The single-piece supply allows immediate use and easy replacement when the bit reaches end of life. The design supports stable drilling with standard handheld drills and drill presses.

Suitable for

• Drilling pilot holes for screws in wood and plastic
• Making small holes in aluminium profiles and thin metal sheets
• Creating holes in brick or masonry for light anchors
• Drilling through glass where small straight holes are required
• General DIY, repair and light construction tasks

Key specifications

• Diameter: 5 mm
• Overall length: 64 mm

• Pack quantity: 1 piece

How to use

Secure the workpiece and mark the drilling point. Use an appropriate drill chuck and ensure the bit is tightened correctly. For wood and plastic, drill at moderate speed with steady pressure. For aluminium, use medium speed and consider a light lubricant to reduce heat. When drilling brick or glass, use low to medium speed and avoid excessive side pressure; support the material to prevent cracking. Withdraw the bit periodically to clear debris and reduce friction. Replace the bit when wear reduces cutting efficiency.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. Match drill speed and feed to the material being drilled, and secure thin or brittle workpieces to prevent vibration. For extended life when working with metal, use cutting fluid sparingly. For glass and ceramic, consider using a backing support and apply minimal pressure to reduce the risk of chipping.
