Drill bit GRAPHITE 57H216 — 1 pc, general-purpose metal/wood drilling

GRAPHITE 57H216 drill bit is a single-piece general-purpose tool designed for straightforward drilling in metal and wood. Supplied as one unit per pack, this drill bit features a spade-style profile that improves chip evacuation and reduces tear-out on wooden surfaces while remaining suitable for standard metal drilling tasks. The hexagonal Quick Change holder enables fast bit replacement and compatibility with magnetic holders of cordless screwdrivers and many handheld or bench drills.

Advantages

The spade-shaped cutting profile increases drilling speed and helps prevent splintering in wood by directing chips away from the hole. Precision ground cutting edges provide consistent performance when working with soft and some harder metals. The hexagonal Quick Change shank ensures a secure fit in quick-change chucks and magnetic bit holders, reducing slippage during use. Supplied as a single piece, the bit is convenient for occasional repairs, on-site adjustments, and small DIY jobs.

Suitable for

• Drilling through soft and hardwoods where reduced tear-out is required
• Standard metal drilling tasks in thin sheets and light construction components
• Use with handheld drills, cordless screwdrivers with magnetic holders, and bench drills
• Repair, construction, and DIY projects that require a single reliable drill bit

Key specifications

• Design: spade-style drill bit with special blade profile for improved chip removal
• Material compatibility: wood and standard metals
• Shank type: hexagonal Quick Change for magnetic holders and quick-change chucks
• Pack quantity: 1 piece

How to use

Install the drill bit into a compatible quick-change chuck or magnetic holder, ensuring the hexagonal shank seats fully. Select an appropriate drilling speed for the material: lower rpm for metals and higher rpm for wood, while applying steady, even pressure. For wood drilling, support the workpiece and consider using backing material to minimize exit splintering. Withdraw the bit periodically to clear chips when drilling deep holes, and maintain a straight drilling angle for accurate holes.

Usage recommendations

For prolonged tool life, use appropriate cutting speeds and moderate feed pressure. When drilling metal, use cutting fluid to reduce heat and improve chip evacuation. Store the bit in a dry place and inspect for wear before each use; replace if the cutting edges become dull or chipped.
