Drill bit set Makita D-46361, 6 pieces — high-speed steel twist bits for general drilling

Makita D-46361 is a 6-piece set of high-speed steel (HSS) twist drill bits designed for general drilling tasks. The set contains a selection of common diameters suitable for use with standard corded and cordless drills and drill drivers. These HSS bits are intended for drilling into metals, wood and certain plastics, offering straightforward cutting performance for workshop, construction and home DIY projects.

Advantages

The HSS material provides good hardness and heat resistance for routine drilling operations, helping to maintain cutting edge durability during continuous use. Twist bit geometry ensures efficient chip removal and stable drilling angles, while the compact 6-piece assortment covers frequent hole sizes without occupying much storage space. The bits are compatible with common drill chucks and are suitable for quick replacement during work.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in mild steel, sheet metal and other ferrous/non-ferrous metals
• General woodworking tasks including framing, cabinetry and joins
• Drilling into rigid and semi-rigid plastics
• Workshop and construction site general-purpose drilling
• Home DIY repairs and installations

Key specifications

• Material: High-speed steel (HSS)
• Bit type: Twist drill bits
• Set quantity: 6 pieces
• Intended materials: Metals, wood, plastics
• Compatibility: Standard drill chucks (corded and cordless drills/drivers)

How to use

Select a drill bit from the Makita D-46361 set that matches the required hole diameter, secure it in the drill chuck and tighten firmly. For metal drilling, mark the hole position and use a center punch if needed to prevent wandering. Start at a low speed to establish the hole, then increase speed as appropriate while applying steady, moderate pressure. Use cutting lubricant when drilling metals to reduce heat and extend bit life. For wood and plastics, choose higher speeds with controlled feed to avoid splintering or melting.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (safety glasses, hearing protection and gloves where applicable). Keep bits sharp and clean; replace or re-sharpen dull bits to maintain drilling quality. Store the set in a dry place to prevent corrosion and select proper drill speeds and lubricants according to the work material.
