Drill bit DeWalt DT5063-QZ — 75 mm length, for metal, 1 pc

DeWalt DT5063-QZ drill bit, 75 mm length, is designed for drilling metal with precision. Supplied as a single piece, this high-performance metal drill bit fits standard chucks and is intended for workshop and professional environments where reliable, accurate holes in steel and other ferrous materials are required. The bit's design reduces slippage and breakage while improving penetration speed and lifetime under continuous use.

Advantages

The three-sided, no-slip shank provides secure grip in portable drills and reduces rotational slipping in the chuck. A pilot point tip gives accurate positioning and reduces walking at drill start, enabling cleaner holes with fewer burrs. The tapered web and thicker core towards the shank increase fracture resistance and durability during freehand use. A gold ferrous oxide coating helps prevent overheating, extending bit life, while optimized tip and flute geometry deliver faster drilling performance in metal compared with standard HSS-R metal bits.

Suitable for

• Portable drilling in steel and other ferrous materials up to 900 N/mm²
• Fabrication, maintenance and repair tasks requiring precise metal holes
• Applications where reduced chuck slip and improved bit life are needed

Key specifications

• Length: 75 mm
• Material compatibility: steel and other ferrous materials (up to 900 N/mm²), also suitable for wood and plastic
• Coating: gold ferrous oxide coating for reduced overheating
• Shank type: three flat sides (no-slip) for improved grip in chucks
• Tip: pilot point (no-walk) for accurate penetration and cleaner holes
• Design features: tapered web and tough core for increased fracture stability; optimized flute geometry for faster penetration
• Quantity: 1 piece

How to use

Secure the drill bit in a suitable chuck ensuring the three flat sides seat correctly to prevent slippage. Select an appropriate drill speed for the material being drilled and apply steady pressure; allow the bit to do the cutting without excessive force. For ferrous metals up to 900 N/mm² use cutting fluid or lubricant to reduce heat build-up and extend tool life. Withdraw periodically to clear chips when drilling deep holes and inspect the bit for wear or damage before each use.

Usage recommendations

Use the DeWalt DT5063-QZ for portable metal drilling where accurate, burr-free holes are required. For best results on steel and other hard ferrous materials, apply cutting fluid, maintain correct drill speeds, and avoid side loading. Replace the bit if chipping or significant wear appears to maintain hole quality and operator safety.
