Wood Drill Bit 8 x 117 mm - Per piece

This wood drill bit is suitable for drilling in softwood. The 8 mm drill bit has a total length of 117 mm. The spiral has a length of 75 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.

Pilot holes

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. 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.

Long wood drill bits

When the total length of 117 mm is not sufficient for your project, you can also find longer wood drill bits on our website. We offer long wood drill bits of several sizes, among which an 8 x 250 mm drill bit. Note: these drill bits are for drilling in softwood only. Are you working with hardwood, like azobe, oak, meranti, mahogany, or bangkirai? Then check out our hardwood drill bits or, for larger drill bits, auger drill bits.
