Drill Bit Makita D-17310 1 pc

The Makita D-17310 drill bit is designed for precision drilling in a variety of materials. Constructed to provide consistent, accurate holes, this single-piece bit offers durability suitable for both professional tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts. Its geometry and cutting edge are optimized to reduce walking and improve centering when starting holes, producing clean finishes across common wood, plastics and light metal applications.

Advantages

The drill bit delivers reliable performance through a hardened cutting edge and balanced flute design that evacuates chips efficiently. Its construction supports sustained use without rapid wear, maintaining cutting accuracy over time. The bit's shank is compatible with standard chucks, enabling quick installation and secure grip during operation.

Suitable for

• Precision drilling in wood and engineered wood products
• Drilling through plastics and composite materials
• Light metal drilling for thin sheets and brackets
• General-purpose household and workshop tasks
• Preparation of pilot holes for screws and fasteners

Key specifications

• Single-piece twist drill bit geometry for general-purpose drilling
• Hardened cutting edge for improved wear resistance
• Standard straight shank for compatibility with keyed or keyless chucks
• Flute design optimized for chip evacuation in common materials
• Suitable for use in handheld drills and drill presses

How to use

Select the appropriate drill speed and clamp the workpiece securely before drilling. Fit the drill bit into the drill chuck and tighten to ensure a firm grip. Start drilling at low speed to establish a centered entry, then increase speed as needed while applying steady, moderate pressure. Withdraw the bit periodically for deep holes to clear chips and reduce heat buildup. After use, clean chips from the flutes and store the bit in a protective case to prevent damage.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match drilling speed to material hardness: lower speeds for metals, medium speeds for plastics, and higher speeds for wood. Use cutting lubrication when drilling metals to extend bit life, and avoid excessive pressure that can cause bit breakage or poor hole quality.
