Drill bit Dedra WDD16230 — 1.6 cm diameter, 230 mm length, for wood, 1 pc

Dedra WDD16230 is a single wood drill bit with a 1.6 cm diameter and a 230 mm overall length. Designed specifically for drilling in wood, this long-reach bit enables deep-hole and through-drilling in timber, beams and thick wooden workpieces. Supplied as one piece, the bit is intended for applications in woodworking, carpentry and construction where an extended-length wood drill is required.

Advantages

The long 230 mm length provides extended reach for drilling deep holes or passing completely through thick boards, while the 1.6 cm diameter balances hole size with bit rigidity. Optimised cutting geometry for wood reduces splintering and makes clean entry and exit holes more likely. Being a single-piece supply allows quick replacement and easy selection of the required size for a specific task.

Suitable for

• Drilling deep holes in solid timber and beams
• Through-drilling for dowels, bolts or running cables through wooden members
• Carpentry tasks requiring extended-reach drilling
• General woodworking projects with thick workpieces

Key specifications

• Diameter: 1.6 cm
• Overall length: 230 mm
• Intended material: wood
• Quantity in package: 1 piece

How to use

Choose a compatible drill or drill press with a secure chuck that accepts the bit shank. Mark the drilling location on the wooden workpiece and, if necessary, clamp the workpiece to prevent movement. Start drilling at low speed to establish the entry point, then increase speed while applying steady, even pressure. For deep holes, periodically retract the bit to clear chips and reduce heat buildup. When drilling through thin sections, support the exit side to minimise splintering.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and hearing protection. Select drilling speeds and feed rates suitable for the wood species and hardness; softer woods typically allow higher speeds while hardwoods require slower feed and speed. Keep the bit sharp and clean for consistent performance and inspect it for wear before use.
