Drill bit Proline 5269140 spiral 14 x 460 mm for metal and wood

Drill bit Proline Spiral 14 x 460 mm model 5269140 is a long, threaded spiral drill designed for drilling softwood, hardwood and glued workpieces. It features a hex shank for secure fitting in chucks and quick-change adapters and is suitable for both wood and some metal applications where a long reach and threaded spiral cutting action are required.

Advantages

The Proline spiral bit combines a threaded lead for steady feed, a long 460 mm overall length for deep drilling, and a hexagonal shank for reliable clamping. Its spiral flute removes chips efficiently during penetration, reducing clogging when working with dense woods and laminated materials.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in softwood and hardwood
• Making deep holes in glued or laminated workpieces
• Applications requiring extended reach where a 460 mm length is needed

How to use

Secure the hex shank in a compatible drill chuck or quick-change holder. Mark and centre the drilling point, then start drilling at low speed to engage the threaded tip for steady feed. Increase speed as appropriate for the material while maintaining firm control and steady pressure. Clear chips as necessary and avoid excessive side load to prevent bit bending given the extended length.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate drill speeds for the material, support long workpieces to prevent flex, and clear chips regularly. For best results in hardwood and laminated boards, begin drilling at low speed until the threaded tip pulls the bit in smoothly.
