Makita D-09765 HSS-G Metal Drill Bit 7.0 x 109 mm

The Makita D-09765 HSS-G metal drill bit is a precision-engineered tool designed for high-performance drilling in various metal surfaces. With a diameter of 7.0 mm and a total length of 109 mm, this drill bit is manufactured from high-speed steel, ensuring excellent heat resistance and durability during intensive use. Its robust construction allows for efficient material removal, making it a reliable choice for both professional metalworking tasks and demanding DIY projects.

Advantages

This drill bit features a high-quality HSS-G construction that provides superior sharpness and longevity compared to standard bits. The precision-ground geometry ensures accurate hole placement and reduces the risk of walking on the workpiece surface. Its design facilitates smooth chip evacuation, which prevents overheating and extends the life of the tool, ultimately providing consistent results across multiple applications.

Suitable for

• Drilling into mild steel and iron
• Creating precise holes in non-ferrous metals
• General metal fabrication and repair work
• DIY home improvement projects involving metal components

When it may not be suitable

This drill bit is specifically optimized for metal applications and may not perform optimally when used on extremely hard materials like hardened steel or masonry. It is also not intended for use with impact drivers that lack a standard drill chuck, as the cylindrical shank requires a secure grip from a compatible drill chuck.

Key specifications

• Material: High-Speed Steel (HSS-G)
• Diameter: 7.0 mm
• Total length: 109 mm
• Shank type: Cylindrical
• Point type: Chisel edge

How to use

To achieve the best results, ensure the drill bit is securely tightened in the chuck of your power drill. Mark the center of the hole to be drilled using a center punch to prevent the bit from slipping. Apply steady, moderate pressure while maintaining a consistent drilling speed suitable for the metal being processed. Using a cutting fluid or lubricant is recommended to reduce friction and heat, which helps maintain the sharpness of the cutting edge and improves the finish of the hole.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your drill chuck is compatible with a 7.0 mm cylindrical shank.
• Ensure the drill bit diameter matches the requirements of your specific project.
• Consider the hardness of the material you intend to drill to ensure this HSS-G bit is the appropriate choice.

Usage recommendations

Always wear appropriate eye protection when drilling metal to prevent injury from flying chips. Periodically check the bit for signs of wear or dulling to maintain drilling efficiency and safety.
