MAKITA D-23248 Round Shank Wood Drill Bit 11/32 x 4-3/4 Inch
The MAKITA D-23248 high-quality wood drill bit for professionals and DIYers is crafted from high-speed steel (HSS) for durability and long-lasting edge retention. The bit features a Brad Point tip with a small center point to guide the start and prevent bit walking when beginning to drill. It also features dual cutting spurs on the bit edges that score the wood fibers before the main cut penetrates, delivering smooth, splinter-free hole edges. The round shank (straight shank) is easy to use and widely compatible with standard drill chucks.
