Dewalt Accessories DW1116 Black Oxide Drill Bit 1/4 in

Product Description

The DEWALT ACCESSORIES DW1116 is a 1/4-inch black oxide coated drill bit engineered for tradespeople and contractors who need reliable performance across a range of materials. Built from heavy-duty High Speed Steel, this bit handles drilling into plastic, wood, and metal without premature wear. The proprietary black and gold coating resists rust and extends service life. The 135-degree split point tip starts on contact, reducing the tendency for the bit to walk across a surface before cutting begins. The tapered web construction adds structural rigidity to resist breakage under load.

This bit is suited for general construction, mechanical, and fabrication work where a 1/4-inch hole is required in ferrous or non-ferrous metals, softwood, hardwood, and plastics. The 3-flats shank design locks into the chuck to prevent spin-out, making it a dependable choice for both corded and cordless drill drivers used on the job site or in the shop. Each package contains 5 bits, providing backup units for high-volume drilling tasks.

Installation Notes

Secure the 3-flats shank firmly in the drill chuck before use to prevent slippage. When drilling into hard metals, use a center punch to mark the pilot point and reduce lateral movement at start. Apply steady, consistent pressure and reduce feed rate as the bit breaks through the back side of the material to avoid grab or bit damage. Inspect bits regularly for wear and replace when cutting edges show signs of dulling.
