Drill bit Dedra DED1529Q08 — 8 mm diameter, 76 mm length, for wood/plastic/aluminium/brick/glass

Dedra DED1529Q08 is a single 8 mm diameter drill bit with a total length of 76 mm designed for drilling in a range of common materials including wood, plastic, aluminium, brick and glass. Supplied as one piece, this general-purpose bit is intended for use with manual and powered drills and is suitable for repair, installation and crafting tasks where a reliable 8 mm hole is required.

Advantages

The drill bit provides a balance between cutting efficiency and control for a variety of materials. Its 8 mm diameter and 76 mm length give sufficient reach for many standard tasks while remaining compact enough for handheld operation. Manufactured for multipurpose use, the bit reduces the need to switch tools between softer materials like wood and harder substrates such as brick or glass when matched with appropriate drill speed and technique.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in wooden beams, planks and furniture components
• Creating openings in plastic sheets and housings
• Drilling through thin aluminium profiles and metal laminates
• Masonry work such as drilling into brick for anchors and dowels
• Glass drilling for light fixtures or decorative elements (with correct drill speed and cooling)

Key specifications

• Diameter: 8 mm
• Total length: 76 mm
• Material compatibility: wood, plastic, aluminium, brick, glass
• Package quantity: 1 piece
• Intended use: manual and power drills

How to use

Secure the bit firmly in the drill chuck and set the drill to an appropriate speed for the material being worked. For wood and plastic use moderate to high speeds; for aluminium use moderate speed and light pressure; for brick use a hammer-drill function or percussive setting where available and employ lower speeds with steady pressure. When drilling glass, use low speed, light pressure, and apply a coolant or lubricant to the contact area to reduce heat and prevent cracking. Remove debris from the hole periodically to maintain cutting efficiency.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment including safety glasses and gloves. Match drill speed and feed rate to the material, avoid excessive lateral force, and ensure the workpiece is secured. For brittle materials such as glass and thin masonry, use a backing support and proceed slowly to reduce the risk of chipping or cracking.
