Evaluation of key product features

⚖️ Compare features with other products of your choice

The product is intended for consumers who frequently build or repair wooden structures, assemble furniture, embark on creative projects or just occasionally need an efficient drill bit for reliable drilling in softer or harder wood. Due to the wider diameter of 18 mm, it also easily pierces thicker boards or beams, which is ideal for making larger holes, for example when installing furniture fittings or running electrical wiring.

Key technical features include: spiral shape for optimal sawdust removal, high cutting sharpness for clean holes, and a long working length of 130 mm (total length 150–200 mm), which allows drilling deeper than average hobby drills. Perfectly adapted to standard electric drills, which further increases usability in everyday work.

The operation is based on the high-quality geometry of the spiral blade, which reduces friction, prevents clogging and ensures stable, slip-free drilling, even in harder wood. Users particularly appreciate the ease of handling and precision, which is a credit to the long shaft and the excellent Bosch workmanship. This makes this drill stand out in its category due to its combination of practicality, professional quality and ease of use, which is especially important for anyone who wants to quickly complete their woodworking projects.

Same summary

The standard 18 mm diameter wood twist drill bit with a longer working length is a practical choice for home and hobby users who need stable drilling in wood for assembly, assembly or creating larger holes. This type of drill bit is particularly suitable for projects where it is necessary to drill deeper or into thicker wooden elements, such as structures or furniture. For drilling into other materials such as metal or concrete, we recommend using dedicated drill bits; a wood drill bit does not work well there. Its size and design mean that it is less suitable for very fine or precise work, but it is balanced for most typical needs in a home workshop.

Answers to frequently asked questions

What types of wood is this drill bit suitable for?

The standard 18 mm wood twist drill bit is suitable for most common types of wood, such as spruce, beech, pine and plywood. However, it is not intended for drilling into very hard exotic woods, where specialized drill bits are recommended.

Does the drill bit fit all types of electric drills?

The drill has a standard chuck, so it is compatible with most classic electric drills, as long as they allow this diameter to be clamped. Before use, check if your drill supports drills over 13 mm in diameter.

How can I extend the life of my drill bit?

We recommend that you always use the drill bit exclusively for wood and do not expose it to heavy loads or hard foreign objects. Regularly remove sawdust and do not drill at too high a speed to maintain the sharpness and integrity of the tool.

What projects does this drill make the most sense for?

It is most useful when manufacturing and assembling wooden elements, building structures or drilling larger holes in thicker lath or beam. It is suitable for situations where conventional thin drill bits are not sufficient in terms of diameter or drilling depth.

Can I use this drill bit to drill into metal or concrete?

This drill bit is intended for wood only and is not suitable for metal or concrete. Specialized drill bits are required for these types of materials.
