Drill bit Makita D-05256 spiral cutting drill bit 6 mm, 1 pc

Makita D-05256 is a single 6 mm spiral cutting drill bit designed for metal-cutting and general-purpose drilling. The bit features a spiral flute that promotes efficient chip evacuation and consistent feed while drilling through a variety of common materials. Supplied as one piece, this 6 mm drill bit is sized for standard holes and routine workshop or construction tasks that require reliable performance from a compact, hardened cutting tip.

Advantages

The spiral flute geometry enhances chip removal and reduces clogging, helping to maintain drilling speed and reduce heat buildup. Its 6 mm diameter provides accuracy for standard hole sizes and repeatable results across multiple materials. Manufactured to industry tolerances, the drill bit offers stable rotation and predictable cutting behavior when used with appropriate drill speeds and clamping. Supplied individually, it is easy to store and replace in toolkits or jobsite boxes.

Suitable for

• Drilling 6 mm holes in metal sheets and thin-walled components
• General-purpose drilling in workshop and construction environments
• Creating pilot holes for fastening or tapping operations
• Replacement or addition to drill bit sets where a single 6 mm bit is needed

Key specifications

• Cutting style: spiral flute (twist) drill bit
• Diameter: 6 mm
• Quantity: 1 piece
• Application: metal-cutting and general drilling
• Shank type: straight shank for standard drill chucks

How to use

Select an appropriate drill and secure the workpiece with clamps or a vise. Install the 6 mm drill bit in the drill chuck, ensuring it is centered and tightened. Choose a drill speed suitable for the material being worked (slower speeds for harder metals, higher speeds for softer materials). Use cutting fluid when drilling metals to reduce heat and extend tool life. Apply steady, even pressure and allow the bit to clear chips periodically; withdraw occasionally on deep holes to remove debris and cool the cutting edge.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate eye protection and follow standard safety practices. Match drill speed and lubrication to the material to optimise bit life. Replace the bit if wear or chipping is observed to maintain hole quality and prevent damage to the workpiece or drill.
