Drill Bit YATO YT-44725 16.5 mm

The YATO YT-44725 16.5 mm drill bit is designed to create precise 16.5 mm diameter holes with standard electric drills and drill drivers. Intended primarily for woodworking and general workshop tasks, this drill bit works effectively in wood, some plastics and other relatively soft materials where a clean 16.5 mm opening is required. Its dimensions and geometry are suited for tasks such as dowel holes, larger pilot holes and installation fittings that call for a consistent 16.5 mm bore.

Advantages

This 16.5 mm drill bit provides accurate hole diameter and dependable centering when used with a properly set drill. Its construction is intended to deliver consistent cutting performance and acceptable chip evacuation in wood and non-metallic materials. The bit is compatible with standard drill chucks and common drilling techniques, allowing straightforward replacement or use alongside other woodworking bits. The consistent diameter helps ensure compatibility with dowels, bushings and fittings that require a 16.5 mm opening.

How to use

Secure the drill bit in a compatible drill chuck, ensuring firm clamping and correct alignment. Select an appropriate drilling speed for the material—moderate speeds for wood and lower speeds for denser varieties or when using guides. Position the workpiece on a stable surface or use clamps to prevent movement. Start drilling with light pressure, allowing the bit to cut and evacuate chips; increase pressure gradually if required. After completing the hole, withdraw the bit while the drill is running briefly to clear remaining chips, then stop and inspect the hole for clean edges and correct diameter.

Usage recommendations

Use steady, controlled feed and avoid excessive side pressure. For repeated precision holes, use a drill press or guide jig and clamp the workpiece. When drilling thin or fragile materials, support the backside to reduce tear-out. Clean and store the bit dry to prevent corrosion and maintain cutting performance.
