MAKITA D-23298 Wood Drill Bit Round Shank 11/16" x 8"

MAKITA D-23298 Wood Drill Bit, Round Shank, Size 11/16 x 8 in.
The high-quality wood drill bit from MAKITA, model D-23298, is designed for drilling large holes (11/16 in.) in softwood, hardwood, plywood, and soft plastics. The drill bit features a Brad Point tip (3-point center tip) with a sharp center point that precisely centers the drilling from the start, preventing slipping, and sharp cutting spurs on both outer edges that shear the wood fibers before the main cut, delivering clean hole edges and effectively reducing tear-out. The bit is made of high-quality steel for durability, featuring flutes optimized for large-hole drilling. The bit has a round shank compatible with standard drill chucks.
