Wood drill bit set Hikoki HK-781994, 10 pieces, for wood drilling

Hikoki HK-781994 is a 10-piece wood drill bit set designed for precise and efficient drilling in timber and wood-based materials. The set includes ten commonly used diameters that cover typical needs in furniture making, carpentry and general DIY, and it is compatible with standard electric drills and cordless drivers. The bits feature geometry suitable for clean entry and reduced splintering on both softwood and hardwood surfaces, making the set a practical choice for workshop and site tasks.

Advantages

The set offers a compact selection of 10 wood-specific drill bits that simplify tool selection for everyday woodworking tasks. Each bit is shaped to provide accurate centring and steady feed into wood, which helps produce cleaner holes and reduces tear-out. The bits are suitable for use with common drill chucks and are easy to change, making them convenient for a range of repair and building activities. The kit’s range of sizes reduces the need to purchase individual bits for routine jobs.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in solid timber, plywood and chipboard
• Furniture assembly and repair
• Carpentry, joinery and framing tasks
• General DIY and home improvement projects

Key specifications

• Number of pieces: 10
• Material type: high-speed steel (HSS) or similar wood-drilling steel
• Intended use: drilling in timber and wood-based panels
• Shank type: standard round shank for use in drill chucks
• Tip design: wood-pointed tip for improved centring and reduced splintering

How to use

Select the appropriate bit diameter from the set for the required hole. Secure the drill bit firmly in the drill chuck and set the drill to an appropriate speed for the wood type—slower speeds for larger diameters and harder woods, higher speeds for smaller bits and softwoods. Mark the drilling point on the workpiece, clamp or secure the material to prevent movement, then start drilling with steady pressure. Withdraw the bit periodically when drilling deep holes to clear chips and prevent overheating. After use, clean shavings from the bit and store the set in its case to maintain cutting performance.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and hearing protection when drilling. For best hole quality, back the workpiece or use a sacrificial backing board to minimise exit splintering. Match drill speed and feed rate to the material and bit size to extend bit life and improve finish.
