Drill bit högert technik HT6D504 for confirmat screws, HSS steel, 4.5 mm x 90 mm

Drill bit högert technik HT6D504 for confirmat screws is a straight shank HSS drill designed to create precise pilot holes for confirmat fasteners. With a cutting diameter of 4.5 mm and an overall length of 90 mm, this drill bit is intended for use in particleboard, MDF and other wood-based panels where consistent hole diameter and straightness are important for secure screw seating.

Advantages

The HSS construction ensures good wear resistance and heat tolerance during repetitive drilling. The 4.5 mm cutting diameter provides an accurate fit for standard confirmat screws, while the 90 mm overall length allows drilling through thick panels or reaching recessed fixing points. The straight shank is compatible with common chucks and drill drivers, offering stable rotation and reduced wobble for consistent hole geometry.

Suitable for

• Drilling pilot holes for confirmat screws in particleboard
• Preparing holes in MDF panels for furniture assembly
• Creating consistent holes in laminated wood-based boards

Key specifications

• Material: High-speed steel (HSS)
• Cutting diameter: 4.5 mm
• Overall length: 90 mm
• Shaft type: Straight shank
• Intended use: Pilot holes for confirmat screws in wood-based panels

How to use

Mark the drilling position on the workpiece and secure the panel to prevent movement. Select appropriate drilling speed according to panel thickness and bit diameter; moderate speed reduces heat build-up. Align the drill bit perpendicular to the panel surface and apply steady, even pressure until the required depth is reached. Withdraw the bit periodically to clear chips when drilling deep holes. After drilling, check hole diameter and clean any debris before inserting the confirmat screw.

Usage recommendations

Use a clamp or jig to stabilize thin or flexible panels, and consider a backing support to prevent breakout on the far side. For prolonged life of the HSS drill bit, avoid excessive speed and intermittent cooling if the bit becomes hot. Inspect holes for cleanliness and correct diameter to ensure reliable seating of confirmat screws.
