Flat chisel drill bit KWB 512418 1.8 cm diameter

Flat chisel drill bit KWB 512418 with a 1.8 cm diameter is a woodworking bit designed to produce precise holes with minimal effort. It features a centre point and two cutting wings with special cutting geometry and a 1/4" hexagon shank to ISO 1173 (E 6.3). The bit is precision ground, sandblasted and finished in grey, suitable for use in softwoods, hardwoods and lightweight building materials.

Advantages

The flat wood bit offers accurate, clean holes thanks to its centre point and dual cutting wings, while the special cutting geometry and precision grinding reduce required driving force. The 1/4" hexagon shank provides secure fitment in compatible chucks or bit holders to ISO 1173 (E 6.3). The sandblasted grey finish improves handling and visibility of the cutting edges.

Suitable for

• Drilling precise holes in softwood
• Drilling precise holes in hardwood

How to use

Fit the 1/4" hexagon shank into a compatible drill chuck or bit holder rated for ISO 1173 (E 6.3). Position the centre point at the intended drilling location, apply steady axial pressure and run the drill at an appropriate speed for the material. Allow the cutting wings to remove material without forcing the bit; retract periodically if necessary to clear chips and maintain cutting performance.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate drill speeds and steady pressure for the workpiece material, clamp the workpiece securely, and wear eye protection. For best results in hardwood, use lower speed and moderate feed to avoid overheating; clear chips frequently.
