Drill bit YATO YT-44875 — single piece general-purpose metal/wood drilling

YATO YT-44875 is a single-piece drill bit intended for general-purpose metal and wood drilling. Supplied individually, this HSS twist bit is suitable for workshop and home use and fits standard drill chucks for straightforward installation and operation.

Advantages

The bit is made from HSS (high-speed steel) for improved cutting speed and wear resistance while preserving drill geometry. A 135° split-point tip ensures accurate centring and allows drilling without prior scoring. Ground surfaces and edges to DIN 338 provide precise hole dimensions. A 1/4" hex (6.3 mm) shank enables quick bit changes and secure fit in compatible chucks and holders. The single-piece construction increases strength and durability during repeated use.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Drilling in metal (stainless steel, structural steel, INOX, cold-rolled steel)
• General workshop and home drilling tasks
• Drilling in wood and common plastics

Key specifications

• Material: high-speed steel (HSS)
• Tip geometry: 135° split-point (cross-blade)
• Shank: 1/4" hex (6.3 mm)
• Construction: single-piece solid design
• Manufacturing standard: ground to DIN 338

How to use

Install the YATO YT-44875 bit into a compatible drill chuck or quick-change holder with a 1/4" hex socket. Use appropriate speed and feed for the material being drilled: lower speeds for stainless and hard steels, medium speeds for structural steels, and higher speeds for wood and plastics. Apply steady pressure and allow the bit to cut without forcing. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear chips and reduce heat buildup.

Usage recommendations

When drilling hard or stainless steels, use cutting fluid or coolant and keep drilling speeds low to extend bit life. For clean holes, secure the workpiece and pilot where necessary; maintain firm, steady pressure and avoid excessive side loads.
