Drill Bit - Festool - 492513 D 4 CE/W

This drill bit is designed for use on all types of wood, glued solid wood, MDF, and acrylic glass.

Yes, it is compatible with Festool cordless drills with the Fast Fix interface and can also be used in any standard three-jawed keyless chuck.

The drill bit features two chamfers instead of pre-cutting blades, which significantly extends its useful life and helps prevent chipping and tear-out when cutting through laminated surfaces.

Keep the bit clean and dry after use. Avoid using it on hard materials like metal, which can dull the edges. Inspect the precision-ground HSS steel edges periodically for sharpness.

The Centrotec shank allows for very quick and secure bit changes, especially beneficial when working with Festool cordless drills and frequently switching tools or bits.

The 4mm size is specific for applications requiring that precise diameter, such as for dowel joints, pilot holes for specific screws, or for shelf pins. For different hole sizes, other Festool drill bits are available.

Ensure the drill bit is properly seated in the chuck or Centrotec shank. If using a standard chuck, tighten it firmly around the bit. If using a Centrotec shank, ensure it's correctly attached to the drill.

Verify that the drill bit is sharp and free from damage. Ensure you are using the correct drilling speed for the material. For laminated materials, ensure the double chamfers are making full contact and the drill is held steady.

You may be drilling too fast or applying excessive pressure. Reduce drilling speed and maintain a consistent, moderate pressure. Ensure the material is suitable for the bit (e.g., not metal).
