This drill bit is 109mm long with a 66mm working length and features a non-slip shank with 3 flats to eliminate slipping. It is highly recommended for cast steel, bronze, welded seams, stainless, and chrome nickel steels. It offers faster drilling and better durability than normal HSS-R drill bits. The DT4911 Dewalt cobalt drill bit is 8% cobalt, maintaining a sharper cutting edge and delivering 4x longer life versus DEWALT Black Oxide bits. The optimised tip and flute geometry delivers 2X the penetration speed, removing material faster and reducing heat build-up. The stronger central core delivers 2X the resistance to breakage versus DEWALT Black Oxide drill bits. Specifications: Diameter: 7mm, Length: 109mm, Working length: 69mm, Pack Quantity: 1. It also features a unique centering tip for fluid-free point precision drilling, specially sanded shoulder cuts, and mills full and circular holes with clean edges. Core reinforcement provides continuously increasing core diameter in the shaft direction for highest breakage stability, especially in free use. Size marking is corrosion protected and placed outside the tensile area, ensuring continuous good readability. The non-slip shaft has 3 milled tensile surfaces preventing the drill from turning in the liner and ensuring optimum strength transmission. Delivery includes: 1 x metal drill bit Extreme HSS-Co, 7 x 109 x 66 mm, for use in drills (battery and cable).

FAQs
What materials is this drill bit best suited for?
This drill bit is best suited for drilling into cast steel, bronze, welded seams, stainless steel, and chrome nickel steels.
How do I choose the correct drilling speed?
The drilling speed should be adjusted based on the material being drilled. Consult material-specific guides for recommended RPMs.
Can I use this drill bit on wood?
While it can drill through wood, it is designed for metal and may not offer the best performance. Use drill bits specifically designed for wood for optimal results.
What is the purpose of the non-slip shank?
The non-slip shank with 3 flats prevents the drill bit from slipping in the drill chuck, ensuring a secure grip and optimal strength transmission.
How should I store the drill bit?
Store the drill bit in a clean, dry place to prevent damage and corrosion.
What is the benefit of the cobalt alloy?
The 8% cobalt content maintains a sharper cutting edge and delivers 4x longer life versus standard DeWalt Black Oxide bits.
How can I prevent the drill bit from overheating?
Reduce the drilling speed, apply appropriate pressure, and use a cutting fluid or lubricant. Allow the bit to cool if necessary.
What is the purpose of the centering tip?
The unique centering tip allows for precise and fluid-free drilling, eliminating the need for pre-drilling and ensuring cleaner holes.
Troubleshooting
Drill bit is slipping in the chuck.
Ensure the drill chuck is tightened securely and that the non-slip shank is properly engaged. If slippage continues, try a different chuck or drill.
Drill bit is overheating and losing its cutting edge.
Reduce the drilling speed, apply more pressure, and use a cutting fluid or lubricant. Ensure the bit is suitable for the material being drilled.
Holes are inaccurate or uneven.
Ensure the drill is perpendicular to the material, and the bit is centered before drilling. Check the bit's tip for damage and replace if necessary. Adjust the pressure and speed.
Drill bit breaks prematurely.
Reduce the feed rate and drilling pressure, and ensure that the correct speed is used for the material. Check for any obstructions or imperfections in the material.
