DEWALT Wood Auger Drill Bit - 6mm x 200mm

This drill bit is specifically designed for use on wood materials only. Attempting to drill into metal, masonry, or plastics may damage the bit and is not recommended.

The Lewis spiral flute is shaped to efficiently remove wood chips and debris as you drill. This allows for faster drilling progress and helps prevent the bit from clogging or binding in the hole.

The outer cutting spur is located at the tip of the bit and scores the wood surface before the main cutting edges engage. This helps to create a cleaner entry point and reduces splintering around the edge of the hole, resulting in a smoother finish.

The threaded centre point acts as a guide, helping to keep the bit stable and accurately positioned on the material surface before drilling begins. Apply steady pressure to allow the centre point to engage effectively.

This bit features a hexagonal shank, which provides a secure grip. You will need a drill chuck that can firmly clamp onto this shape. Most standard power drills are compatible.

After each use, clear any wood dust and debris from the flutes and cutting edges. Store the bit in a dry environment to prevent rust. A tool roll or a dedicated bit organizer is ideal.

Ensure the drill bit is sharp and free from debris. Verify you are using the correct speed setting for drilling into wood and that the drill chuck is tightening securely.

Ensure the outer cutting spur is intact. For the cleanest finish, try to maintain a steady pressure and avoid twisting the drill as it exits the material. Support the material if possible.

Clear debris from the flutes more frequently. Reduce drilling pressure slightly and ensure the drill is running at an appropriate speed. Ensure the hole is not obstructed.

Ensure the drill chuck is fully tightened around the shank. If the chuck is worn, consider servicing or replacing the drill.
