Drill bit STANLEY STA51053 universal cylindrical 48 mm

The STANLEY STA51053 universal cylindrical drill bit with a 48 mm diameter is a single-piece, large-diameter cutting tool designed for general drilling tasks. It features a cylindrical shank that fits standard chucks and is intended for making wide holes in appropriate materials commonly encountered in construction, renovation and workshop work. The bit is positioned for versatile use where a straightforward, large-diameter bore is required.

Advantages

This universal drill bit offers a simple, robust design that provides straightforward compatibility with chucks accepting cylindrical shanks. The 48 mm cutting diameter enables efficient removal of material for larger holes without the need for multiple smaller drills. The bit’s geometry is optimized for general-purpose drilling, balancing cutting performance and durability for common site and workshop applications.

Suitable for

• Drilling large-diameter holes in wood and soft construction materials
• Preparing openings for pipework, conduits and cable routes
• Renovation tasks requiring removal of substantial material
• Workshop operations where a standard cylindrical shank is required

Key specifications

• Diameter: 48 mm
• Shank type: cylindrical shank for standard chucks
• Intended use: general-purpose drilling for construction and workshop tasks
• Compatibility: fits chucks that accept cylindrical shanks

How to use

Install the drill bit firmly in a compatible chuck, ensuring proper centring and secure tightening before operation. Select a rotational speed appropriate to the material being drilled and apply steady, even feed pressure; avoid excessive lateral force. For prolonged or heavy-duty drilling, periodically withdraw the bit to clear chips and reduce heat buildup. Follow the drill and bit manufacturer’s safety instructions, wear appropriate protective equipment, and ensure the workpiece is securely clamped.

Usage recommendations

Use slower speeds and controlled feed for harder materials and faster speeds for softer, non-metallic substrates. Inspect the bit before use and replace it if cutting edges are worn or damaged to maintain clean, safe drilling performance.
