Drill bit Makita E-06482, 8 x 110 mm, carbide-tipped twist bit for metal/drilling tasks

Makita drill bit E-06482 is an 8 x 110 mm twist-style bit designed for precise drilling in metal and other hard materials. The carbide tip increases wear resistance and maintains cutting performance under repeated use, while the overall geometry of the shank and flute supports efficient chip evacuation and stable drilling. The compact length and diameter make this bit suitable for standard drilling operations where a clean, round hole is required.

Advantages

The carbide tip provides superior hardness and edge retention compared with high-speed steel, extending service life for metalworking tasks. The twist flutes promote consistent chip removal and reduce clogging during through-holes. The 8 mm diameter and 110 mm length offer a balance between rigidity and reach, minimizing deflection while allowing access to moderately deep locations. Compatibility with typical drill chucks and holders ensures straightforward installation and stable rotation.

Suitable for

• Drilling through steel and non-ferrous metals
• Workshop maintenance and repair tasks
• Fabrication and assembly of metal components
• Creating pilot or clearance holes in metal structures

Key specifications

• Diameter: 8 mm
• Overall length: 110 mm
• Tip material: carbide
• Bit style: twist / straight flute
• Intended materials: metal and other hard materials

How to use

Secure the drill bit in the chuck so the shank is firmly seated and the bit is concentric with the drill axis. Select an appropriate rotational speed for the material being drilled, typically lower speeds for harder metals, and apply steady, moderate feed pressure. Use cutting fluid or coolant when drilling steel to reduce heat build-up and extend bit life. Withdraw the bit periodically on longer holes to clear chips and prevent clogging of the flutes.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and gloves. Match drill speed and feed to the workpiece material: reduce rpm for hardened steels and increase coolant flow for prolonged drilling sessions. Store the bit in a protected case to avoid tip damage when not in use.
