GRAPHITE 54T556 Extended Wood Drill Bit 6 x 400 mm

The GRAPHITE 54T556 extended wood drill bit is a professional-grade tool engineered for precision drilling in wood and wood-based materials. With a diameter of 6 mm and an extended total length of 400 mm, this drill bit is specifically designed to reach deep into workpieces where standard-length bits cannot reach. Its robust construction ensures stability during operation, while the geometry of the bit facilitates efficient chip removal, preventing clogging and ensuring clean, accurate holes in various timber applications.

Advantages

This drill bit offers exceptional durability due to its high-quality material composition, which maintains sharpness over extended periods of use. The extended length provides significant versatility for deep-hole drilling, allowing for precise work in thick beams, posts, or complex wooden structures. Its design minimizes vibration and heat buildup, contributing to a longer service life and consistent performance in demanding carpentry and construction environments.

Suitable for

• Deep-hole drilling in solid wood
• Installation of long fasteners or dowels
• Carpentry and furniture assembly
• Construction of wooden frames and structures

When it may not be suitable

This drill bit is not intended for use on metal, masonry, or concrete surfaces, as the cutting edge geometry is optimized exclusively for wood. Using it on harder materials will cause rapid dulling and potential damage to the tool.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 6 mm
• Total length: 400 mm
• Material: High-quality steel for wood applications
• Application: Wood and wood-based materials

How to use

To achieve the best results, secure your workpiece firmly to prevent movement during the drilling process. Start the drill at a low speed to create a pilot mark, then gradually increase the speed while maintaining steady, even pressure. It is important to retract the drill bit periodically during deep drilling to clear wood chips from the hole, which prevents overheating and binding. Always ensure the drill bit is properly seated in the chuck of your power tool before starting.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the 6 mm diameter matches your required hole size
• Verify that your drill chuck can accommodate the bit shank
• Check if the 400 mm length is sufficient for your specific project depth

Usage recommendations

Always wear appropriate eye protection and ensure the workpiece is clamped securely. Avoid applying excessive lateral force, as this can lead to bending or snapping the extended shaft.
