Drill Bit Makita D-23818 8mm 110mm

The Makita D-23818 8mm x 110mm drill bit is a single-purpose twist bit designed for reliable performance in general drilling tasks. With an 8 mm diameter and 110 mm overall length, it provides adequate reach for through-holes and medium-depth drilling in materials commonly encountered in construction, renovation, and workshop work. The bit's geometry and hardened steel construction support repeatable hole quality and stable operation when used with compatible drills.

Advantages

This 8 mm drill bit offers precision drilling with consistent hole diameter and straightness. Its durable material and heat-treated finish improve wear resistance and extend service life under normal use. The 110 mm length gives additional working reach compared to standard short bits, reducing the need for extension accessories. The single-bit packaging simplifies selection for tasks requiring a specific diameter without excess set bulk.

Suitable for

• Drilling through wood for joinery and fittings
• Metal drilling for light-gauge steel and non-ferrous alloys
• Plastic and composite material drilling
• General-purpose workshop and on-site drilling tasks

Key specifications

• Diameter: 8 mm
• Overall length: 110 mm
• Shank type: straight round shank (compatible with standard drill chucks)
• Material: hardened tool steel (heat-treated)
• Flute type: standard spiral flute for chip evacuation

How to use

Secure the drill bit in the drill chuck, ensuring firm clamping and correct centering. Select a drill speed appropriate to the material: lower speeds for harder metals, higher speeds for wood and plastics. Apply steady, moderate feed pressure and allow the bit to cut without excessive force to avoid overheating. For deeper holes, periodically withdraw the bit to clear chips and reduce heat buildup. When drilling metal, use a suitable cutting lubricant to extend bit life and improve hole quality.

Usage recommendations

Before use, inspect the bit for any visible wear or damage. Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and hearing protection. Match the drill speed and feed to the specific material and consider pre-drilling pilot holes for accurate positioning in harder materials.
