The Draper Flat Wood Bit (14mm) is designed for professional woodworkers and DIY enthusiasts needing precise and efficient drilling in wood. Its key benefit is superior waste removal and clean cuts due to enhanced cutting edge spurs and a precision central point. A potential caveat is the 6mm shank, which may require a specific chuck size, though it's compatible with most common drills.

The Draper Flat Wood Bit is constructed from high-quality carbon steel that is correctly hardened and tempered for durability.
This specific model features a strong 6mm shank.
This bit is optimized for drilling in wood. While it might perform poorly or cause damage on other materials, it is not recommended for use outside of wood applications.
It features enhanced cutting edge spurs designed to efficiently clear wood waste from the hole, which leads to faster drilling and cleaner results compared to standard flat wood bits.
It is ideal for use with combi drills, drill drivers, and impact drivers that have chucks capable of gripping a 6mm shank.
The precision ground central point is designed to locate accurately and prevent the bit from wandering, ensuring precise hole placement.
Keep the bit clean and dry, and periodically inspect the cutting edges for sharpness. Store it in a way that protects the cutting surfaces from damage.
Ensure the precision ground central point is firmly seated on the mark before drilling. Consider using a center punch to create a small indentation for the bit to start in.
Reduce drill speed, apply lighter pressure, or drill partway through from one side, then flip the wood and complete the hole from the other side to prevent blowout.
Clear wood waste from the flutes more frequently, reduce drilling pressure, and use a consistent, steady speed. Ensure the drill is not overloaded.
Check if the cutting edge spurs are clean and sharp. Wood debris can impede their function. If dull, the bit may need sharpening or replacement.
Setup: Securely insert the 6mm shank of the Draper Flat Wood Bit into the chuck of your combi drill, drill driver, or impact driver. Ensure the chuck is tightened firmly to prevent slippage. Select the appropriate speed setting for drilling into wood, typically a medium to high speed depending on the drill's power and the wood density.
Compatibility: This bit is designed for use with standard drill chucks that can accommodate a 6mm shank. It is compatible with most modern combi drills, drill drivers, and impact drivers. Always ensure your drill is suitable for the task and material.
Care: After use, remove any wood dust or debris from the bit. Store the bit in a dry place to prevent rust. Periodically check the cutting edges for any damage or dullness. If performance degrades, consider sharpening or replacing the bit.
