Drill bit GRAPHITE 56H403 6 mm, 64 mm length, for wood, 1 pc

GRAPHITE general purpose drill bit, 6 mm diameter and 64 mm overall length, is designed for hammerless drilling with cordless drivers. The 4-blade sintered carbide tip features a titanium nitride (TiN) coating for increased wear resistance. The bit has a round shank and is supplied individually in a blister pack. It is intended for drilling 6 mm holes in softer materials such as wood, plastics, aluminium, bricks, ceramics and glass.

Advantages

The 4-blade pilot tip provides stable centring and smoother drilling in soft substrates. TiN coating on the carbide blades improves durability and reduces wear during repetitive use. A round shank makes the bit compatible with standard chucks on most cordless drivers and the single-piece blister pack keeps the tool protected and easy to store.

Suitable for

• Drilling 6 mm holes in wood
• Drilling in plastics and acrylics
• Light metal work such as aluminium
• Drilling in bricks and ceramic tiles (non-hammer mode)
• Glass drilling with appropriate low-speed technique

When it may not be suitable

This drill bit is intended for hammerless drilling only and is not suitable for use with hammer or SDS hammer modes. It is designed for soft and relatively brittle materials; hard steels, reinforced concrete or masonry requiring hammer action will quickly wear or damage the carbide tip.

Key specifications

• Drill bit diameter: 6 mm
• Overall length: 64 mm
• Tip: 4-blade sintered carbide with TiN (titanium nitride) coating
• Shank type: round
• Intended materials: wood, plastics, aluminium, bricks, ceramics, glass
• Pack quantity: 1 piece (blister)

How to use

Secure the round shank in the chuck of a cordless driver, ensuring a tight grip. Use the drill in hammerless (rotary) mode only. Start drilling at low speed to establish the pilot contact, then increase speed as needed while applying steady, moderate pressure. For glass or ceramics, use low speed and coolant or intermittent drilling to avoid overheating and chipping.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended materials — suitable for soft materials; not for hard steel or concrete with hammer action
• Chuck compatibility — requires a chuck that accepts round shank bits
• Required hole diameter — this bit produces 6 mm holes
• Pack quantity — sold as a single piece in a blister pack

Usage recommendations

Use in rotary (non-hammer) mode with moderate feed pressure; for brittle materials such as glass or ceramics, drill slowly and use coolant or intermittent drilling to reduce heat and prevent chipping.
