Drill bit Proline Spiral Urbis 24 x 230 mm carbide-tipped twist drill

Proline Spiral Urbis 24 x 230 mm is a twist drill with a threaded spiral cutter and a hex shank. It is intended for drilling softwoods, hardwoods and glued workpieces. The carbide-tipped cutting edge provides increased wear resistance and consistent cutting performance for woodworking tasks.

Advantages

The spiral, threaded flute design removes chips efficiently and reduces splintering on the exit side. The carbide tip extends tool life compared with standard high-speed steel bits. The hex shank ensures a secure fit in hex chucks, reducing slippage during drilling. The 24 x 230 mm dimensions combine a wide bore diameter with sufficient overall length for deep holes in timber elements.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in softwood and coniferous timber
• Drilling holes in hardwood
• Boring through glued or laminated wood panels
• Use with cordless and corded drills with hex chuck adapters

How to use

Secure the drill bit in the drill’s hex chuck until it is firmly seated. Mark the drilling position and, if necessary, clamp the workpiece to prevent movement. Start drilling at low speed to locate the hole, then increase speed while applying steady, even pressure. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear chips and avoid overheating. For clean exit holes in thin panels, back the workpiece with a sacrificial board.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (safety glasses and gloves) and select drill speeds suitable for the wood type: lower speeds for hardwoods and higher speeds for softwoods. Inspect the carbide tip before use and replace the bit if the tip is chipped or excessively worn.
