Drill Bit Makita D-17398 1 pc

The Makita D-17398 drill bit is designed to provide durable, precise performance for a variety of drilling tasks. Manufactured to fit standard Makita chucks and accessories, this single-piece drill bit offers consistent results across wood, soft metals, and common construction materials when used with appropriate drill settings and technique. Its construction prioritizes longevity and dimensional accuracy to reduce bit wear and maintain hole quality over extended use.

Advantages

The drill bit is made from hardened steel with a geometry optimized for stable cutting and efficient chip removal, helping to extend service life. Its tip design promotes accurate centering and reduced walking at the start of drilling. The finish improves resistance to corrosion and friction, which contributes to smoother penetration and more reliable hole size retention over repeated use.

Suitable for

• General purpose drilling in wood and composite materials
• Drilling in thin or soft metals with appropriate speed and coolant
• On-site construction and repair tasks requiring a single reliable bit
• Work with portable drills and drill drivers compatible with standard bit shanks

Key specifications

• Brand: Makita
• Item type: single-piece drill bit
• Intended materials: wood, soft metals, common construction materials
• Shank compatibility: standard drill chucks and drivers
• Finish: corrosion-resistant coating for reduced friction

How to use

Secure the drill bit in a suitable drill chuck and ensure it is tightened correctly before starting. Select an appropriate speed and feed for the material being drilled; lower speeds for metals and higher speeds for wood typically yield best results. Apply steady pressure without forcing the bit to avoid overheating. For metal drilling, use cutting fluid or coolant to improve performance and extend bit life. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear chips and inspect the cutting edges for wear.

Usage recommendations

For consistent results, match drill speed and feed to the material and use light coolant when working with metals. Replace the bit when cutting edges show visible wear or when hole accuracy deteriorates. Store the bit in a dry place to maintain the protective finish and prevent corrosion.
