Drill Bit Makita D-00240

The Makita D-00240 drill bit is designed for precision drilling across a variety of common workshop materials. Constructed from durable materials and finished to tight tolerances, this bit provides consistent hole quality and reliable repeatability. It is compatible with standard Makita chucks and is intended as a general-purpose bit for tasks that require accurate, clean holes.

Advantages

This drill bit offers durable construction that resists wear and maintains cutting performance over time. Its geometry is optimized for stable drilling and reduced wandering at startup, helping to produce clean edges and accurate hole diameters. The bit’s compatibility with a wide range of Makita drills ensures straightforward installation and stable rotation for effective material removal.

Suitable for

• Precise hole drilling in wood
• Drilling in plastics and composite panels
• General-purpose metal drilling for thin sheets and non-hardened alloys
• Home improvement and DIY projects requiring clean, accurate holes

Key specifications

• Purpose: general-purpose drilling for workshop and on-site use
• Material compatibility: wood, plastics, non-hardened metals and composites
• Construction: hardened and ground cutting edges for wear resistance
• Shank type: round/standard shank compatible with standard chucks
• Finish: precision-ground surface for consistent cutting action

How to use

Secure the drill bit in the drill’s chuck and tighten according to the drill manufacturer’s instructions. Select a drilling speed appropriate for the material: lower speeds for metals and higher speeds for wood and plastics. Use steady, moderate feed pressure and allow the bit to clear chips frequently to avoid clogging. For metal work, apply cutting fluid or lubricant as needed; for wood, ensure proper clamping of the workpiece to prevent movement.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the bit before use for damage or dulling and replace if worn. Match drill speed and feed to the material to prolong bit life and maintain hole quality. Store the bit in a dry place and avoid excessive side loads during drilling to prevent breakage.
