Drill Bit GRAPHITE 57H253 10 mm hexagon shank, spiral wood bit

Spiral wood drill bit GRAPHITE 57H253 with a 10 mm cutting diameter and hexagon shank is designed for drilling clean, precise holes in timber and wood-based materials. The spiral flute geometry improves chip evacuation and reduces clogging, while the 10 mm diameter provides a common size for dowels, fittings and general woodworking tasks. The hexagon shank enables secure grip in hand drills and cordless drivers with quick-change chucks that accept hex shanks.

Advantages

The spiral flute accelerates chip removal and helps maintain a cleaner drilling path, reducing the need to retract the bit frequently. The 10 mm cutting diameter gives a stable hole size for fittings and joins. The hexagon shank ensures positive engagement with the drill chuck or quick-change adapter, minimizing slippage under load. The bit is compatible with a wide range of hand and cordless drills, making it practical for both site and workshop use.

Suitable for

• Drilling clean holes in soft and hard wood
• Installing dowels, pegs and furniture fittings
• Carpentry, joinery and general woodworking repairs
• Use with cordless drivers and hand drills that accept hex shanks

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 10 mm
• Shank type: hexagon shank for secure grip
• Flute style: spiral for efficient chip removal
• Material application: timber and wood-based panels

How to use

Secure the drill bit into the drill chuck or quick-change adapter until the hex shank seats fully. Mark the drilling position on the workpiece and, if required, clamp the piece to prevent movement. Start drilling at low speed to create a pilot contact point, then increase speed while applying steady, moderate pressure. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear accumulated chips if drilling deep holes. After use, inspect the cutting edges for wear and store the bit in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match drill speed to the wood type: lower speeds for hardwoods and higher speeds for softwoods. Use appropriate clamping and pilot marks for accurate hole placement. Replace the bit when cutting edges become dull to avoid tear-out and excessive force on the drill motor.
