Drill bit Makita D-07157 — single-piece replacement bit for drilling

Makita D-07157 is a single-piece replacement drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in wood. Supplied as one bit per pack, this brad point bit features a cylindrical shank for secure clamping in most driver drills and rotary tools compatible with Makita accessories. It is intended as a spare or replacement part for maintenance, repair, and routine woodworking tasks where a precise, clean entry and controlled chip removal are required.

Advantages

The brad point tip provides accurate centring and reduced wandering when starting holes in wood, delivering cleaner holes with minimal splintering. The single-piece design ensures consistent rigidity and reliable torque transfer from the drill to the cutting edge. A cylindrical shank enables straightforward installation in standard chucks without adapters, making the bit a convenient replacement for a wide range of cordless and corded driver drills.

Suitable for

• Drilling precise holes in soft and hard wood
• Carpentry and joinery tasks requiring clean hole edges
• Repair or maintenance jobs where a single spare bit is needed
• Use with compatible Makita driver drills and general-purpose rotary tools

Key specifications

• Material application: Wood
• Tip type: Brad point for precise centring
• Shank type: Cylindrical shank for standard chucks
• Intended use: Driver drill and general rotary tool compatibility
• Packaging: Single-piece per pack

How to use

Insert the cylindrical shank into the drill chuck and tighten securely before operation. Select an appropriate drilling speed for the wood species and apply steady, moderate pressure to allow the brad point to cut cleanly; avoid excessive force that can cause tear-out. For deeper holes, periodically withdraw the bit to clear chips and prevent clogging. After use, clean debris from the flutes and store the bit in protective packaging to maintain tip integrity.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and hearing protection. Match drilling speed and feed rate to the wood type: lower speeds for hardwoods, higher speeds for softwoods. When working near finished surfaces, consider backing the workpiece or using a sacrificial board to reduce splintering at the exit side.
