Drill bit Dedra WM08011 — 8 mm diameter, 117 mm length, for metal, 1 pc

Dedra WM08011 is a single 8 mm drill bit with an overall length of 117 mm designed for drilling metal. The bit is intended for use with handheld drills and drill presses and features a straight cutting geometry suitable for general metal-drilling tasks in workshops, maintenance jobs, and construction settings. Its dimensions make it appropriate for common fastening and through-hole operations in steel and other metallic materials.

Advantages

The Dedra 8 mm metal drill bit provides consistent hole size and straightness thanks to its precise 8 mm diameter and straight-flute cutting tip. Its 117 mm overall length offers sufficient reach for many standard drilling operations without excessive flex. Supplied as a single piece, it is a straightforward replacement or spare for occasional use and maintenance. The geometry is optimized for metal, reducing chatter and improving hole quality when used at appropriate speeds and with correct clamping.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in steel and other metallic materials
• Handheld electric drills and drill presses
• Workshop maintenance and repair tasks
• Construction and metalworking for through-holes and fastening points

How to use

Secure the workpiece in a vice or suitable clamp to prevent movement. Fit the Dedra WM08011 drill bit into the chuck of a handheld drill or drill press and tighten securely. Select a drill speed appropriate for the metal type and bit diameter; use slower speeds for hardened steels and higher speeds for softer metals. Apply steady, moderate feed pressure and, where applicable, use cutting fluid or coolant to reduce heat and extend bit life. After drilling, back the bit out carefully to clear chips and inspect the hole for size and finish.

Usage recommendations

For best results when drilling metal, start at a low speed, use an appropriate cutting lubricant, and ensure the workpiece is firmly clamped. Replace the bit if you notice excessive wear, chipping, or reduced cutting performance to maintain hole accuracy and safety.
