Brad point drill bit KWB 511812 1.2 cm diameter

Brad point drill bit KWB 511812 with a 1.2 cm diameter is an extra-long wood drill intended for precise, break-out free holes in beams and other wooden workpieces. Made from CrV steel with a single spiral and chemical black finish, the bit features a centre point and two cutting wings to ensure accurate positioning and clean exit surfaces in both softwoods and hardwoods.

Advantages

The extra-long design allows drilling through thick beams and deep timbers while maintaining stability and accuracy. The centre point ensures exact starting position without slipping, and the two cutting wings produce smooth, well-defined hole edges. CrV steel construction and chamfer-ground tip provide durability and long service life under normal woodworking use.

Suitable for

• Drilling long, straight holes in wooden beams and large timber
• Precision woodworking where clean exit holes are required
• Softwood and hardwood applications

How to use

Mark the drilling position on the workpiece and secure the timber to prevent movement. Fit the KWB 511812 brad point bit into a suitable drill or drill press with the correct chuck tightening. Start drilling at low speed to let the centre point engage, then increase speed as appropriate for the wood species and drill depth. Withdraw the bit periodically if drilling a deep hole to clear chips and avoid overheating.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (eye protection and hearing protection as needed) and clamp the workpiece securely. Choose drill speeds matching the wood type—lower speeds for hardwoods—and avoid excessive force to prolong the bit's life. Store the bit dry to prevent corrosion.
