MAKITA D-07288 Single Spur Wood Auger Bit Round Shank 16x200 mm

MAKITA D-07288 Single Spur Wood Auger Bit Round Shank 16x200 mm
The MAKITA D-07288 is a Single Spur Auger bit (sometimes called a Snake Drill or Douglas & Irwin bit) designed for drilling relatively large diameter and medium-depth holes in all types of wood materials.
Key features of this drill bit include:
1. Threaded Screw Point: Acts as a pilot screw that automatically pulls the bit into the wood, requiring minimal feed pressure from the user and making drilling smooth and fast.
2. Cutting Edge and Flute: Designed for highly efficient chip removal along the length of the bit, helping prevent clogging and reducing heat buildup.
3. Pre-cutter: Features an outer cutting spur that scores the wood grain before the main cutter engages, resulting in clean and accurate hole edges.
4. Shank: Available as a hex shank or straight shank (typically 10.5 mm for this model) for a secure grip and to prevent slipping in the chuck.

Specifications
- High Speed and Self-Feeding: The screw pilot tip enables fast and effortless drilling without requiring heavy pushing force.
- Clean and Accurate Holes: The well-designed cutting edge with pilot tip produces neat holes with precise diameters.
- Excellent Chip Ejection: Large flutes help efficiently clear wood chips generated during deep drilling.
- Durability: Made from high-quality steel, ideal for heavy-duty drilling in both hardwood and softwood.
- Secure Grip Shank: Hex shank provides enhanced gripping stability in most drills.
