Dedra WIT03061 is a single 3 mm diameter metal drill bit with an overall length of 61 mm, designed for drilling in various metalwork applications. Supplied as one piece, this drill bit is intended for use with hand drills and drill presses for light-to-medium metalworking tasks, enabling precise holes in sheet metal, brackets and thin-walled components.
Advantages
The 3 mm diameter and 61 mm length provide a balance between rigidity and reach, reducing wobble while allowing access into deeper or recessed areas. Engineered for metal, the bit delivers consistent cutting performance and hole accuracy when paired with appropriate drill speeds and cutting fluids. Supplied individually, it is convenient for replacement or project-specific needs without excess packaging.
Suitable for
- Drilling precise holes in sheet metal
- Creating mounting holes in brackets and small metal parts
- Light-to-medium metal fabrication and repair work
- Use with hand drills and drill presses for small-diameter holes
Key specifications
- Diameter: 3 mm
- Overall length: 61 mm
- Intended material: Metal
- Quantity: 1 piece
How to use
Secure the drill bit in the chuck of a hand drill or drill press, ensuring proper clamping and alignment. Select an appropriate drill speed for metal (typically medium to high speed for small diameters), and use cutting fluid or lubricant where necessary to reduce heat and extend bit life. Apply steady, even pressure and allow the bit to cut without excessive force; periodically withdraw the bit to clear chips when drilling deeper holes. After use, clean and store the bit to prevent corrosion.
Usage recommendations
Use center punching to locate the hole position before drilling to prevent walking, and match drill speed and lubrication to the type and thickness of the metal. For stainless steel or hardened materials, consider reduced feed and frequent lubrication to maintain cutting edge life.
