Drill bit STANLEY STA52051 — 1.6 cm diameter, 165 mm length, 1 pc

STANLEY STA52051 — single-piece drill bit with a 1.6 cm diameter and 165 mm overall length, engineered for use with compatible electric drills and drill drivers. This metal bit is intended for general drilling tasks in wood where the specified diameter and length are required. The product provides a simple, functional option for workshop, construction and repair jobs that call for a 16 mm bore and extended reach.

Advantages

The solid construction delivers consistent concentricity and helps maintain hole accuracy over repeated use. Its 165 mm length increases usable reach for deeper holes or when working through thicker workpieces. The single-piece design reduces the risk of joint failure and simplifies handling and mounting. As a purpose-sized bit, it minimizes setup changes when a precise 1.6 cm diameter is needed.

Suitable for

• Drilling through soft and solid wood boards and beams
• Creating pilot holes for large fasteners and dowels
• Through-holes in carpentry and joinery where 16 mm diameter is required
• Repair and renovation tasks needing extended-reach drilling

Key specifications

• Diameter: 1.6 cm (16 mm)
• Overall length: 165 mm
• Material compatibility: wood
• Quantity: 1 piece

How to use

Secure the drill bit in the drill chuck, ensure proper clamping and alignment, and set the drill to an appropriate speed for wood. Mark the drilling point, position the bit perpendicular to the work surface, and apply steady pressure while drilling to avoid wandering. For deep holes, periodically withdraw the bit to clear chips and reduce heat buildup. After use, clean wood debris from the flutes and store the bit in a dry place.

Usage recommendations

Use lower to medium drill speeds for clean holes in wood and moderate feed pressure to prevent splintering. When drilling laminated or veneered surfaces, place a backing board to minimize tear-out. Inspect the bit before use for wear and replace if the cutting edges become dull.
