Drill bit Makita D-07238, 6 mm diameter, 200 mm length

Carbide-tipped drill bit Makita D-07238, 6 mm diameter, 200 mm length is designed for drilling tasks that require extended reach and stable hole quality. The long shank allows access to recessed or hard-to-reach areas while the carbide tip improves wear resistance and cutting performance. Compatible with appropriate drill chucks, this drill bit can be used with a range of handheld and stationary drills depending on the material and drilling method.

Advantages

The carbide tip provides enhanced durability and sustained cutting edge retention compared with standard high-speed steel bits, reducing the frequency of replacement for repetitive drilling. The 200 mm overall length gives extended reach for deeper holes or operations through panels and assemblies without the need to reposition the workpiece. A uniform 6 mm diameter ensures consistent hole size for fasteners, dowels or inserts when used with the correct drill speed and feed.

Suitable for

• Drilling deeper or recessed holes in wood
• Drilling through thin metal sheets and profiles with appropriate drill settings
• Creating holes in plastics and composite materials
• Construction, installation and repair tasks requiring extended reach

Key specifications

• Tip material: carbide-tipped cutting point
• Shank diameter: 6 mm
• Total length: 200 mm
• Intended use: through-holes and deep drilling where extended length is required
• Compatibility: suitable for standard keyed or keyless chucks that accept 6 mm shanks

How to use

Install the drill bit into a compatible chuck and tighten securely. Select a drilling speed appropriate for the material: lower speeds for metals, medium to higher speeds for wood and plastics, and adjust feed pressure to avoid bit wandering or overheating. Use a steady, controlled feed and, for deep holes, withdraw the bit periodically to clear chips and allow cooling. When drilling metal, apply cutting fluid if required; when drilling wood, secure the workpiece to prevent movement and splintering at the exit.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, clamp the workpiece securely, and choose drill speed and feed to match the material. Inspect the carbide tip before use and replace the bit if the cutting edge is chipped or worn to maintain hole accuracy and reduce risk of breakage.
