Drill bit Dedra WK04580 — 4.5 mm diameter, 80 mm length, for metal, 1 pc

Dedra WK04580 is a single 4.5 mm diameter, 80 mm long drill bit engineered for drilling metal. Designed for use with handheld drills or drill presses, this drill bit offers a compact solution for light to medium metalworking tasks, repair jobs and installation work. Supplied as one piece, it is intended for creating accurate holes in sheet metal and thin metal components where a small-diameter, stable cutting tool is required.

Advantages

The WK04580 drill bit provides a consistent 4.5 mm hole diameter and an overall length of 80 mm, allowing access to narrow or recessed work areas. Its geometry is suitable for cutting metal, delivering clean entry and reduced burr formation when used with appropriate speed and lubrication. Supplied as a single unit, it is convenient for targeted repairs or one-off tasks without excess packaging or multiple sizes to sort through.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in sheet metal and thin metal parts
• Light to medium metal repair and maintenance
• Installation of small fasteners, rivets or dowels
• Use with handheld drills and small drill presses

Key specifications

• Diameter: 4.5 mm
• Overall length: 80 mm
• Material suitability: metal
• Quantity: 1 piece

How to use

Secure the workpiece and mark the drilling point. Fit the Dedra WK04580 drill bit into a compatible drill chuck and tighten securely. Select an appropriate rotational speed for metal drilling (moderate to high speed depending on metal thickness) and, if possible, use cutting fluid or light oil to reduce heat and improve chip evacuation. Apply steady, even pressure and avoid excessive feed that could cause bit deflection. Withdraw the bit periodically for chip clearing when drilling deep or through multiple layers.

Usage recommendations

For best results, clamp thin metal sheets to a backing board to prevent distortion, use cutting fluid for cleaner holes and longer tool life, and start with a pilot or center punch to ensure accurate hole placement. Wear appropriate eye and hand protection when drilling metal.
