Drill Bit for Wood DeWalt DT4508 8 x 120 mm

DeWalt wood drill bit 8 x 120 mm is engineered for drilling precise, clean holes in a variety of wood types. The bit features a pointed tip and fluted body that aid in accurate centering and efficient chip evacuation, making it suitable for general woodworking tasks, carpentry, and furniture assembly. Its standard shank fits conventional handheld drills and drill presses designed for common bit diameters.

Advantages

The tip geometry improves starting accuracy and reduces wander, while the flute design clears chips to prevent clogging and overheating. The 120 mm length provides sufficient reach for through-holes and moderate-depth drilling in boards and panels. Manufactured to DeWalt quality standards, the bit is compatible with typical drill chucks and offers consistent hole diameter and straightness when used with appropriate technique.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes for screws, dowels and fasteners in soft and hardwood
• Through-holes in planks, panels and boards
• Furniture assembly and cabinetry work
• Carpentry tasks requiring accurate centering

Key specifications

• Material: high-speed steel suitable for wood drilling
• Diameter: 8 mm
• Overall length: 120 mm
• Shank type: standard cylindrical shank for conventional chucks
• Tip type: centering point for reduced slippage
• Flute design: single/fluted geometry optimized for chip removal

How to use

Secure the drill bit in the drill chuck and tighten firmly to prevent wobble. Select an appropriate drill speed for the wood type—lower speeds for hardwood, higher speeds for softwood—and apply steady pressure without forcing the bit. Allow the flutes to evacuate chips; periodically withdraw the bit on deep holes to clear debris. For best results, support the workpiece and, when precision is required, use a drill press or guide to maintain perpendicularity.

Usage recommendations

Wear eye protection and follow standard safety practices. Match drill speed and feed rate to wood density, and inspect the bit for wear before use. Replace the bit if tip damage or excessive dulling affects hole quality.
