Usage
The Bosch Ø16 formwork drill bit is designed for precise and efficient drilling in wooden formwork panels, structural timbers, and soft or hard woods using compatible power drills.
Advantages
- Sharp centering tip enables accurate hole positioning with minimal wandering for clean starts.
- Twin cutting spurs reduce edge tear-out, producing smooth hole edges in various wood types.
- Optimized spiral flute design ensures rapid chip removal and minimizes heat buildup.
- Cylindrical shank provides compatibility with standard three-jaw drill chucks on most machines.
- Robust construction offers high wear resistance; however, not suited for metal or masonry applications.
Specifications
- The bit features a hardened steel body with a precision-ground spiral groove and a Ø16 mm diameter.
- Suits woodworking standards; ideal for both site carpentry and workshop use where exact drilling is required.
- Total length typically ranges between approximately 150–200 mm depending on model variant; flute length supports deep bores when needed.
- Differentiated by its brad point tip and optimized side cutters, ensuring circular holes even in layered timber materials.
How it works
This wood drill bit attaches to any power drill equipped with a suitable chuck. The centering tip sets the starting point accurately while the side spurs make an incision before the main blade removes material, resulting in smooth-sided holes through timber components.
