Product Information
Full details
The Festool D 7 CE/W is a specialized wood twist drill bit designed for precise drilling in all types of wood, glued woods, MDF, and acrylic glass. Its key benefit lies in its exceptional durability, even in coated laminated materials, thanks to its double bevel design and high-alloy ball bearing steel construction. A minor consideration is its optimal performance with the Centrotec system, though it remains versatile for standard chucks. Key features include superior sharpness, longevity, and clean hole drilling.

FAQs
What materials can the Festool D 7 CE/W drill bit be used on?
This drill bit is designed for all types of wood, glued woods, MDF, and acrylic glass.
What makes this drill bit durable, especially in coated materials?
Its durability comes from the high-alloy ball bearing steel construction and the unique double bevel design, which resists wear and provides stability even in tougher materials like coated laminates.
Can I use this drill bit with any drill?
Yes, while designed for the Festool Centrotec shank, it can be used independently in any standard three-jawed keyless chuck found on most drills.
How do I maintain the sharpness of the drill bit?
Clean the bit after each use, store it properly in a dry place, and use appropriate drilling speeds to avoid overheating. Regular inspection for dullness is also recommended.
What is the advantage of the double bevel design?
The double bevel design provides enhanced durability and stability compared to a single bevel, leading to cleaner holes and a longer service life, particularly effective in materials like coated laminates.
Is this drill bit suitable for metal?
No, this drill bit is specifically designed for wood, glued woods, MDF, and acrylic glass. It is not intended for drilling into metal.
What is the benefit of using the Centrotec shank?
The Centrotec system offers quick and precise bit changes, secure holding, and excellent centering, which can improve accuracy and efficiency, especially in repetitive tasks.
Troubleshooting
Drill bit is not cutting cleanly or is wandering.
Ensure the drill bit is sharp. If dull, consider replacement. Check that you are using the correct drilling speed for the material. Make sure the drill bit is securely fastened in the chuck and is not wobbling.
Excessive heat during drilling.
Reduce drilling speed. Clear wood chips from the hole frequently to prevent clogging and heat buildup. Ensure the bit is not dull, as this can cause friction.
Material splintering on entry or exit.
The double bevel design should minimize this, but ensure the drill bit is sharp and the material is securely clamped. For entry, consider a backing board. For exit, drill through completely without stopping. Ensure correct drilling speed.
Bit seems loose in the chuck.
If using a standard chuck, ensure it is tightened sufficiently. If using Centrotec, ensure the shank is properly seated. Check the chuck for wear or damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
To use the Festool D 7 CE/W drill bit, insert it into your drill's chuck. For optimal results and quick bit changes, use with a Festool Centrotec chuck. Alternatively, secure it firmly in any standard three-jawed keyless chuck. Ensure the drill is set to the appropriate speed for wood drilling.

Care:

- Clean the bit after each use to remove wood dust and debris. A brush or compressed air is recommended.
- Avoid excessive heat buildup by using appropriate drilling speeds and clearing chips frequently.
- Store the drill bit in a dry place, ideally in its original packaging or a bit organizer, to prevent damage and corrosion.
