The flat wood bit is crafted from high-grade, hardened steel to ensure strength and resistance to wear. Its robust construction guarantees long-lasting performance even in frequent or heavy-duty use. The cutting edge is engineered for fast penetration with minimal effort, saving time on every drilling task. The precision ground centre point allows for accurate positioning and reduces bit wandering when starting to drill. This Makita flat bit features twin side spurs that score the wood before the main cutting edge engages. This results in cleaner holes with less splintering, especially when drilling into visible surfaces or decorative wood panels. The wide blade design helps to evacuate chips quickly and efficiently, keeping the cutting area clear and improving drilling speed. The 1/4 inch hex shank ensures a secure grip in both standard drill chucks and quick-change systems. It provides excellent torque transfer, minimises slippage during high-speed drilling, and is fully compatible with electric drills, cordless drivers, and impact drivers with appropriate settings.
