Spiral drill bit Proline Urbis 16 x 230 mm for metal and wood, shank type not specified

Spiral drill bit Proline Urbis 16 x 230 mm designed for drilling softwood, hardwood and laminated workpieces. The bit features a threaded spiral blade for efficient chip removal and a hexagonal shank for secure fastening in compatible chucks or bit holders.

Advantages

The threaded spiral cutting edge improves bite and pull-through when drilling, reducing walking on the workpiece surface. The hexagonal shank provides stable torque transfer and resists slipping in chucks and quick-change holders. Length 230 mm allows deeper penetration while the 16 mm diameter is suitable for medium-sized holes in wood-based materials.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in softwood
• Drilling holes in hardwood
• Drilling laminated or glued workpieces
• Use with hex-shank compatible chucks and bit holders

How to use

Secure the hexagonal shank in a compatible drill chuck or quick-change holder. Mark the drilling point and, if necessary, clamp the workpiece to prevent movement. Start drilling at low speed to establish the hole, then increase speed as appropriate for the material. Apply steady pressure and allow the threaded spiral blade to pull the bit through the material while clearing chips.

Usage recommendations

For cleaner holes and longer tool life, sharpen or replace the bit when wear affects cutting performance. Use appropriate drilling speeds for the material: lower speeds for hardwood and higher speeds for softwood, and ensure secure clamping of thin or laminated pieces to avoid splintering.
