Drill Bit for Wood Profix WDS2040 Ø20.00 mm, 400 mm length, spiral / PIRANHA BLACK&DECER

Profix WDS2040 Ø20.00 mm, 400 mm length is a spiral wood drill bit engineered to create deep, clean holes in timber and wooden components. The 20 mm cutting diameter combined with a 400 mm overall length allows access to recessed areas and through-drilling in long workpieces. Spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation, reducing clogging during prolonged drilling in soft and hardwoods. The bit is intended for use in compatible hand-held drills and drill presses where shank size and length are suitable.

Advantages

The spiral design of this wood drill bit ensures steady chip removal and helps maintain a consistent cutting action along the full length of the flute. The long shank provides extended reach for deep or hard-to-reach holes without the need for extensions. Its geometry is optimized for timber work, offering a balance between cutting speed and hole quality. The bit is compatible with common drilling equipment when the shank fitting matches the chuck or adapter.

Suitable for

• Drilling deep through-holes in beams and long timber sections
• Recessed hole drilling where access is limited
• Creating clearance or dowel holes in furniture components
• Drilling in both softwoods and many hardwoods with appropriate feed rate

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 20.00 mm
• Overall length: 400 mm
• Flute type: Spiral for chip evacuation
• Material: high-strength tool steel (typical for wood bits)
• Intended use: timber and wooden components

How to use

Secure the drill bit in a compatible chuck or collet that accepts the bit’s shank and ensure the bit is tightened to prevent slippage. Mark the drilling position and, if required, use a center punch or pilot mark to locate the start. Start drilling at low speed to establish the hole, then increase speed and apply steady, controlled feed pressure suitable for the wood species. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear chips and prevent overheating or clogging when drilling deep holes. When using a drill press, use appropriate clamps or fixtures to secure the workpiece.

Usage recommendations

Use cutting lubricant or occasional pecking and chip clearing for very long holes or dense hardwoods, and always wear eye and hand protection when operating drilling equipment.
