Drill bit for wood MODECO MN-61-680 cylindrical 7 mm

MODECO MN-61-680 cylindrical wood drill bit, 7 mm diameter, is designed for drilling precise straight holes in wood for confirmat screws and general woodworking. The straight-shank design ensures stable clamping in hand drills and drill drivers, while the cutting geometry provides consistent hole diameter for assembly and joinery tasks. This drill bit is suitable for a range of wood materials commonly used in furniture and DIY projects.

Advantages

The cylindrical shank guarantees secure fitting in chucks and reduces wobble during drilling, contributing to accurate 7 mm holes. The cutting edges are shaped to evacuate chips effectively, helping maintain clean holes and prolonging tool life. Compatibility with standard hand drills and drill drivers makes it a versatile choice for both professional carpenters and hobbyists. The tool is optimized for repeatable results when installing confirmat screws or creating dowel and pilot holes in wooden panels.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes for confirmat screws in furniture panels
• General joinery and wood assembly tasks
• Creating pilot or dowel holes in solid wood, plywood and particleboard
• DIY renovations and handyman projects requiring 7 mm holes

Key specifications

• Diameter: 7 mm
• Shank type: cylindrical (straight shank) for standard chucks
• Material compatibility: solid wood, plywood, particleboard and similar wood-based materials
• Suitable tools: handheld electric drills and cordless drill drivers
• Typical applications: confirmat screw holes, dowel and pilot drilling

How to use

Secure the drill bit in the chuck, ensuring the shank is fully seated and tightened to minimize runout. Mark the drilling position on the workpiece and, if needed, use a center punch or pilot mark to prevent bit walk. Drill at a moderate, steady speed appropriate for the wood type, applying even pressure without forcing the bit. Withdraw the bit occasionally on deep holes to clear chips and prevent clogging. After drilling, check the hole diameter to confirm a correct fit for the intended screw or dowel.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and hearing protection. For best results, select a drill speed suited to the wood density—lower speeds for hardwoods, higher speeds for softwoods—and maintain a firm, controlled grip on the tool to ensure straight, accurate holes.
