Drill bit Proline Urbis 8 x 230 mm — spiral metal and wood drilling bit

Spiral drill Proline Urbis 8 x 230 mm is a multi-purpose twist bit designed for drilling softwoods, hardwoods and laminated workpieces. It features a threaded spiral cutting edge for controlled feeding and a hex shank for secure mounting in chucks and quick-change holders. The 8 x 230 mm dimensions indicate an 8 mm cutting diameter with a 230 mm overall length.

Advantages

The threaded spiral tip pulls the bit into the material, reducing the need for axial pressure and improving drilling speed and accuracy. The hex shank provides firm grip and prevents slipping in hex chucks or bit holders. The long 230 mm length allows drilling through thicker panels and reaching recessed areas while maintaining straight and clean holes.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in softwood and hardwood
• Working with laminated panels and glued-up timber
• Applications requiring extended reach or deep holes

How to use

Secure the hex shank in a compatible drill chuck or quick-change holder. Start drilling at low speed to establish the hole and allow the threaded tip to pull the bit into the workpiece. Increase speed as appropriate for the material, applying steady axial pressure. Clear chips periodically when drilling deep holes to prevent clogging and overheating.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate drill speeds and steady feed for the material; clamp workpieces securely and wear eye protection. For laminated materials, support the exit side to reduce splintering.
