High-speed steel wood drill — precision cutting with reduced friction and heat Key benefits Durable cutting performance: Made from high-speed steel (HSS) with excellent workmanship and sharp cutting edges for consistent, reliable results over repeated use. Cleaner, easier drilling: Short centre with two main cutting edges plus a tooth-shaped peripheral cutting edge improves cutting control and makes drilling through wood easier. Lower heat and wear: Round shaft and tooth-shaped design reduce friction and heat buildup, helping preserve edge life and maintain cutting accuracy. Broad wood compatibility: Designed for all wood materials, including softwood, hardwood, veneer and non-laminated chipboard. What makes it stand out The combination of a short centre and a tooth-shaped peripheral cutting edge provides precise chip removal and steady feed into the workpiece. Round shaft and tooth geometry minimize side friction so the bit stays cooler and cuts more smoothly under load. Sharp, well-finished edges deliver predictable performance for repeatable, controlled holes. Practical applications Furniture assembly: Drilling dowel holes and pilot holes in solid wood or hardwood panels for accurate joinery. Cabinetry and hinge installation: Creating clean entry holes in veneer and chipboard when fitting hardware. General woodworking and DIY projects: Drilling holes for shelves, fittings or through-holes in softwood, hardwood, veneer or non-laminated chipboard. Features at a glance Material: High-speed steel (HSS) Shaft: Round shaft Cutting geometry: Short centre with two main cutting edges and a tooth-shaped peripheral cutting edge Suitable for: Softwood, hardwood, veneer, non-laminated chipboard Use considerations Designed specifically for wood materials listed above; select appropriate speeds and feed rates for the species and thickness being drilled. Maintain sharpness by avoiding excessive heat buildup and replacing the bit when cutting performance declines. This drill delivers precise, low-friction performance for a wide range of woodworking tasks, combining HSS durability with a tooth-shaped design for better cutting control and longer usable life.
