Centering drill bit KWB 706316

Centering drill bit KWB 706316 is a centre bit designed for wood processing and for creating precise pilot holes with a diameter of 1.6 cm. Made from tempered special steel, it features a welded drilling head with a patented serrated precision blade and an integrated centering tip. The bit is suitable for use in all rotary drills and hammer drills with 10 mm or 13 mm chucks and works with hard and soft wood, coated chipboard, MDF, veneered panels and core boards. The bit is supplied as a single piece in a blister pack and has a shining finish with black grooves.

Advantages

The welded drilling head with patented serrated precision blade and optimally sharpened, hardened blades provides extremely precise, easy cuts and tear-free borehole edges even at larger diameters. Low sliding friction and reduced heat development extend service life; the manufacturer states up to three times longer life and significantly faster drilling compared with customary centre bits. The design also enables faster drilling and lower energy consumption—up to 45% faster and energy saving as indicated by the product data.

Suitable for

• Drilling precise pilot holes in soft and hard wood
• Making clean holes in coated chipboard and MDF boards
• Working with veneered wood and core boards
• Use with rotary drills and hammer drills with 10 mm or 13 mm chucks

How to use

Secure the centering drill bit in a compatible drill chuck (10 mm or 13 mm). Mark the drilling point, align the centering tip on the mark and start drilling at low speed to ensure correct seating. Increase speed gradually while applying steady, light pressure. For large-diameter holes, allow the bit to cut without forcing; pause occasionally if heat builds up. After use, remove chips and store the bit dry to maintain blade sharpness.

Usage recommendations

For best results use a sharp, properly fitted drill and adjust speed to the material: lower speeds for hard wood and higher speeds for soft wood and chipboard. Wear suitable eye protection and follow drill manufacturer safety instructions. Replace the bit when cutting performance or hole quality decreases.
