Drill bit Dedra WDD12460 — diameter 12 mm, length 460 mm, for wood, 1 pc

Dedra WDD12460 is a wood drill bit with a 12 mm diameter and a total length of 460 mm, supplied as a single piece. Designed for drilling deep holes in timber, beams and laminated boards, this bit offers extended reach for tasks that require penetration beyond standard bit lengths. It is compatible with handheld drills and drill stands when the chuck and shank size match the drill, and is intended specifically for use in wood materials.

Advantages

The long 460 mm length allows access to deep or hard-to-reach drilling points without the need for extensions. A 12 mm diameter provides a common hole size for dowels, bushes and fastening hardware used in carpentry and furniture assembly. The single-piece supply makes it easy to replace or carry a spare bit. Its design focuses on efficient wood removal and stable drilling when used with appropriate speed and feed.

Suitable for

• Drilling deep holes in solid timber and beams
• Preparing holes in laminated boards and panels
• Carpentry and joinery work requiring extended reach
• Furniture assembly and retrofit jobs for dowels and fasteners

Key specifications

How to use

Secure the drill bit in a compatible chuck, ensuring the shank is gripped firmly and runs true. Select an appropriate drilling speed for wood—moderate to high depending on wood hardness—and apply steady axial pressure while keeping the drill perpendicular to the workpiece. For deep holes, periodically withdraw the bit to clear wood chips and avoid overheating. When using a drill stand or guide, clamp the workpiece to prevent movement and ensure alignment.

Usage recommendations

Use the Dedra WDD12460 with a sharp, undamaged bit and matched drill equipment. For laminated or veneered boards, start with a pilot hole or masking to reduce splintering. Wear eye protection and follow standard safety procedures for drilling operations. If drilling very deep holes, consider incremental drilling and clearing chips frequently to maintain cutting efficiency and extend bit life.
