Drill bit DeWalt DT6042-QZ, 12 mm diameter, 1 pc

DeWalt DT6042-QZ drill bit, 12 mm diameter, single piece, is designed for standard drilling tasks where a precise 12 mm hole is required. This 1 pc drill bit fits compatible hand drills and drill drivers and is supplied as an individual unit for quick replacement or single-job use. Its dimensions and geometry are intended for general-purpose drilling in common workshop and construction materials.

Advantages

The 12 mm diameter provides a standardized hole size suitable for many fixing and installation tasks. As a single-piece supply, the drill bit is convenient to keep as a spare or to use for one-off jobs without bulk packaging. DeWalt manufacturing standards ensure consistent diameter tolerance and shank fit for secure chuck clamping, reducing runout and improving drilling accuracy. The bit’s geometry supports steady chip evacuation and straightforward use with standard drills.

Suitable for

• Drilling 12 mm holes in wood and soft construction materials
• Preparing holes for dowels, anchors and through-fixings
• General workshop and on-site repair tasks
• Replacement or single-use applications where one 12 mm bit is needed

Key specifications

• Diameter: 12 mm
• Quantity: 1 piece
• Compatibility: standard drill chucks that accept a 12 mm shank
• Intended use: general drilling in wood and typical construction substrates

How to use

Secure the drill bit into the drill chuck, making sure the shank is fully inserted and the chuck is tightened to prevent slipping. Select an appropriate drill speed for the material: lower speed for harder materials, higher speed for softer materials such as timber. Apply steady pressure and allow the bit to cut without forcing; withdraw periodically if drilling deep holes to clear chips. After use, clean the cutting edges and store the bit in a dry place to maintain performance.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection and gloves where necessary. Match drill speed and feed pressure to the material being drilled and ensure the drill’s chuck is rated for the bit diameter to avoid slippage or damage.
