Drill Bit for Wood MODECO MN-61-512 12 mm, spiral cylindrical, set of 10

Spiral cylindrical wood drill bits MODECO MN-61-512, diameter 12 mm, sold as a set of 10 pieces. These twist bits are engineered for drilling clean, consistent holes in timber and wood-based materials. Suitable for use with handheld drills and drill presses, the 12 mm diameter provides a standard-sized bore for dowels, fasteners and through-holes in carpentry and furniture assembly applications.

Advantages

The spiral cylindrical design ensures efficient chip evacuation and reduces clogging during drilling, helping to maintain cutting performance over repeated use. Hardened cutting edges provide reliable durability and maintain hole quality in softwoods and common hardwoods. Supplied as a set of 10, the package is convenient for projects that require multiple identical holes and reduces downtime for tool changes.

Suitable for

• Carpentry and joinery
• Furniture assembly and repair
• Construction framing and on-site drilling
• DIY projects requiring 12 mm boreholes
• Work with chipboard, plywood and solid timber

Key specifications

• Bit type: spiral cylindrical (twist) wood drill bit
• Diameter: 12 mm
• Material compatibility: timber and wood-based panels (plywood, chipboard, MDF)
• Shank: cylindrical shank for standard drill chucks
• Package quantity: set of 10 pieces

How to use

Install the 12 mm spiral bit in a compatible drill chuck and tighten securely. For handheld drilling, maintain a steady, perpendicular feed to the workpiece; when using a drill press, set appropriate speed for the wood type—lower speeds for hardwoods and higher speeds for softwoods. Apply moderate pressure to allow the bit to cut without forcing; withdraw periodically on deeper holes to clear chips and prevent overheating. Use clamps or fixtures to secure the workpiece and ensure accurate hole placement.

Usage recommendations

For best results, pre-mark the drilling location and, when accuracy is critical, use a center punch or pilot hole to prevent walking. Select drill speed according to material density, keep the bit cool by clearing chips, and replace worn bits to maintain clean hole edges. Store the set in a dry place to avoid corrosion.
