Wood Drill Bit 5 x 86 mm - Per piece

This wood drill bit is suitable for drilling in softwood. The 5 mm drill bit has a total length of 86 mm. The spiral has a length of 50 mm. The centring tip allows you to drill accurately and prevents the drill from slipping. Due to the sharp cutting edge, the drill bit glides through the wood and creates pristine holes.

When to use wood drill bits

A traditional wood drill bit is used for drilling holes in beams, boards, or planks made of softwood. Examples of softwood are pine wood, chipboard, and MDF. Are you working with hardwood, like azobe, oak, meranti, mahogany, or bangkirai? Then check out our hardwood drill bits or auger drill bits.

Pilot holes

Drilling pilot holes in softwood is done to prevent the wood from splitting. Especially thin boards and slats tend to split without pre-drilling. You should always drill a pilot hole with a drill bit that is thinner than the screw you are going to use. 

The end result is usually even better when, in addition to pre-drilling, you countersink the holes. This allows the screws to sink into the wood. You can do this with a countersink drill bit.
