KWB 513905 Wood Twist Drill Bit 5 mm

The KWB 513905 wood twist drill bit is a precision-engineered tool designed for clean and efficient drilling in various wooden materials. With a diameter of 5 mm and a total length of 60 mm, this drill bit features a specialized design including a center point and two cutting wings to ensure accurate, breakout-free holes. Constructed from durable CrV steel with a chemical black finish, it provides reliable performance for both professional woodworking and home improvement tasks.

Advantages

This drill bit offers exceptional stability and precision due to its accurately formed ground spirals and sharp cutting edges. The inclusion of a 1/4 inch hexagon shank according to ISO 1173 standards allows for quick and secure tool changes in cordless drivers and standard drill chucks. Its robust construction ensures a long service life, while the center point design prevents the bit from wandering during the initial contact with the wood surface, resulting in professional-grade results every time.

Suitable for

• Drilling clean holes in softwood
• Drilling in hardwood
• General woodworking projects
• Furniture assembly and repair
• Tasks requiring high precision with cordless drivers

When it may not be suitable

This drill bit is specifically optimized for wood applications and is not suitable for drilling into metal, masonry, or concrete. Using this tool on hard, non-wood materials will cause rapid dulling of the cutting edges and potential damage to the bit.

Key specifications

How to use

To use the KWB 513905, insert the 1/4 inch hexagon shank into your cordless driver or bit holder until it clicks securely into place. Position the center point of the drill bit exactly where you intend to make the hole. Apply steady, moderate pressure while maintaining a perpendicular angle to the wood surface. Start the drill at a low to medium speed to ensure a clean entry, then increase speed as necessary to complete the hole. Always ensure the workpiece is properly clamped before drilling.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your drill or driver is compatible with a 1/4 inch hexagon shank.
• Ensure the 5 mm diameter meets the specific requirements of your project.
• Confirm that the material being drilled is wood, as this bit is not designed for metal or stone.

Usage recommendations

For the best results and to extend the life of the drill bit, avoid applying excessive lateral pressure during drilling. Regularly clear wood chips from the hole to prevent overheating and ensure a smooth finish.
