Drill bit Makita D-00153, single piece, for general drilling

Makita D-00153 drill bit, supplied as a single piece, is designed for general drilling tasks in wood, soft plastics and light metal applications where a standard twist bit is suitable.

Compact packaging allows easy storage and transport to job sites or a home workshop.

Advantages

How to use

Secure the Makita D-00153 drill bit in the drill chuck and tighten firmly before use. Select an appropriate drill speed and feed pressure for the material: lower speeds and steady pressure for metals, moderate speeds for wood and plastics. Use cutting fluid or coolant when drilling metal to prolong bit life and maintain cutting performance. After drilling, remove swarf and store the bit in its packaging or a bit holder to prevent damage.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the bit for signs of wear or damage before each use and replace when cutting performance degrades. Match drill speed and lubrication to the work material, and use clamps or jigs to secure workpieces for safer, more accurate drilling.
