Wood Drill Bit KREATOR 8 x 117 mm KRT010606

KREATOR wood drill bit 8 x 117 mm is a straight-shank twist bit designed for drilling clean, accurate holes in timber and wood-based materials. With an 8 mm cutting diameter and a total length of 117 mm, this bit is suitable for use in handheld drills and drill drivers for common woodworking tasks such as carpentry, furniture assembly and general repairs. The bit geometry and cutting edges are made to provide reliable chip evacuation and straightforward drilling performance in soft and hard woods as well as in chipboard and plywood.

Advantages

The straight-shank design ensures compatibility with a wide range of handheld drills and drill drivers. An 8 mm cutting diameter offers a balance between hole strength and material removal rate, while the 117 mm overall length provides sufficient reach for most bench and on-site woodworking tasks. The bit's cutting profile produces accurate, round holes with reduced splintering on the exit side when used with proper feed control. Its construction delivers consistent performance for repeated use in timber and engineered wood.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes for dowels and fasteners in solid wood
• Furniture assembly and repair
• Creating pilot holes and clearance holes in plywood and chipboard
• Carpentry and general woodworking on-site or in the workshop

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 8 mm
• Overall length: 117 mm
• Shank type: straight
• Material suitability: solid wood, plywood, chipboard and other wood-based materials
• Intended use: handheld drills and drill drivers

How to use

Secure the KREATOR 8 x 117 mm drill bit in the chuck of a handheld drill or drill driver, ensuring the shank is tightened firmly. Mark the drilling position on the workpiece and, if possible, clamp the workpiece to prevent movement. Start drilling at low speed to establish a clean entry and then increase speed as appropriate for the material. Use steady pressure and allow the bit to remove chips naturally; avoid excessive force that may cause overheating or chipping. For cleaner exit holes in thin laminates, consider backing the material with scrap wood.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use appropriate drill speeds for the wood type (lower speed for hardwoods, higher for softwoods) and keep the bit sharp. Remove built-up resin periodically and store the bit in a dry place to maintain cutting performance and longevity.
