Wood drill bit 12 mm faster tools 04-1-0105 for woodworking and hand drills

Wood drill bit 12 mm faster tools 04-1-0105 for woodworking and hand drills is designed to create clean, accurate round holes in solid wood and common wood-based materials. The bit fits standard three-jaw chucks of hand and electric drills and is intended for general carpentry, furniture assembly and repair, and various DIY tasks where a straight, well-defined hole is required.

Advantages

The 12 mm cutting diameter offers a balance between hole size and material removal rate, enabling efficient drilling without excessive splintering when used with correct technique. Its geometry is optimized for wood, providing centered starts and consistent chip ejection. The shank diameter is compatible with most consumer drill chucks, allowing straightforward installation and interchangeability with other bits. The tool is suitable for repeated use in common woodworking applications and home repairs.

Suitable for

• Drilling through solid softwood and hardwood
• Working with plywood, MDF and particleboard
• Furniture assembly and dowel or bolt holes
• General carpentry, joinery and DIY projects

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 12 mm
• Tip geometry: wood-optimized point for centered starts and reduced tear-out
• Shank: straight shank compatible with standard drill chucks
• Intended materials: solid wood and common wood-based panels
• Typical use: hand and electric drills

How to use

Secure the bit in the drill chuck and tighten it firmly before starting. Mark the drilling point and, if possible, use a pilot or center punch to prevent wandering on smooth surfaces. Hold the drill perpendicular to the workpiece and apply steady, moderate pressure while maintaining a controlled rotation speed appropriate for the wood type. Withdraw the bit periodically on deeper holes to clear chips and prevent clogging. After drilling, deburr the hole edges if required.

Usage recommendations

For best results, clamp the workpiece and use a backing board to reduce tear-out on the exit side. Select a lower drill speed for hardwoods and higher speeds for softwoods and thin panels. Inspect the bit for wear before use and replace it when cutting performance degrades to maintain clean holes and reduce splintering.
