The KWPN 16 model provides a straight-shank cylindrical profile suitable for hand drills and drill presses. It is intended for creating 16 mm holes in compatible materials such as wood and various metals, useful in construction, carpentry and metalworking. ## Long description Globus KWPN 16 is a 16 mm cylindrical straight-shank drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in wood and a range of metals. The tool is intended for creating clean 16 mm holes with standard hand drills and drill presses. Its cylindrical shank provides stable clamping in three-jaw chucks and drill chucks, while the 16 mm cutting diameter suits tasks in construction, carpentry and metalworking where a precise 16 mm opening is required. Advantages The cylindrical 16 mm design offers reliable centring and consistent hole diameter when used with compatible drilling machines. The straight shank simplifies mounting and removal in common chucks and supports straightforward replacement in workshop settings. Suitable for drilling through timber and a variety of metals, the bit balances cutting accuracy and ease of use for routine drilling operations. Suitable for Drilling 16 mm holes in soft and hardwoods Creating 16 mm openings in sheet metal and thin metal plates Use with handheld electric drills and bench drill presses Carpentry, furniture assembly and on-site construction tasks Light to medium metalworking tasks where a 16 mm hole is required When it may not be suitable This cylindrical drill bit is not intended for masonry, concrete or ceramic materials; use of the bit on such materials will lead to rapid wear or breakage. For precision engineering in hardened steel or high-volume industrial production, specialised coated or tipped bits designed for those conditions are preferable. Key specifications Cutting diameter: 16 mm Shank type: cylindrical (straight) shank Intended materials: wood and various metals Compatible tools: handheld drills and drill presses with standard chucks Typical applications: general drilling, carpentry and light metalwork How to use Secure the drill bit in the chuck ensuring the straight shank is fully seated and tightened. Select an appropriate drilling speed based on the material: higher speeds for wood and lower speeds for metals, and use cutting fluid when drilling metals to reduce heat and prolong tool life. Start drilling with light pressure to establish the hole, then apply steady, even feed until the desired depth is reached. Clear chips periodically to maintain cutting efficiency and reduce heat build-up. What to consider before purchase Confirm the required hole diameter is 16 mm for your application Verify compatibility of your drill chuck with a straight cylindrical shank Assess whether the intended materials are wood or metal rather than masonry Consider whether a specialised coated or tipped bit is needed for hardened steels Usage recommendations For longer tool life and consistent results, match rotational speed to material type, use cutting lubricant on metals, and avoid side loads or bending forces on the bit. Regularly inspect the cutting edges and replace the bit if signs of wear or chipping appear. ## FAQ ### What payment options are available? AiO.lv offers several payment methods: Bank transfer.
