Dewalt Accessories DW1610 Split Point Drill Bit 3/8x12

Product Description

The DEWALT ACCESSORIES DW1610 is a high-speed split point drill bit designed for professional drilling applications in metal, wood, and plastic. Built from industrial-grade steel with a black oxide coating, this 3/8-inch diameter by 12-inch length bit delivers reliable penetration and extended service life in demanding job-site conditions. The 135-degree split point tip starts on contact without walking, reducing setup time and improving accuracy. A 31-degree helix angle controls the cut rate, preventing the over-aggressiveness associated with a true parabolic flute while still supporting fast chip evacuation.

This drill bit is suited for use by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors who need to bore through multiple material types during rough-in and installation work. The 12-inch length makes it practical for reaching through framing members, panels, and deep material stacks. The parabolic flute geometry promotes efficient chip ejection, reducing heat buildup and extending bit life in continuous metal and wood drilling applications. Each package contains 5 bits, making it a practical stock item for service vans and tool cribs.

Key Features

• 135-degree split point tip starts on contact with no walking, no center punch required
• 31-degree helix angle moderates cut aggressiveness and supports controlled chip flow
• Parabolic flute design improves chip ejection in metal and wood drilling
• Black oxide coating increases surface hardness and resistance to wear
• Industrial-grade high-speed steel construction for durability under repeated use

Compatibility

Designed for drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. Compatible with standard 3/8-inch keyed and keyless drill chucks used in corded and cordless drill drivers across major tool platforms.

Installation Notes

Install and remove drill bits only when the drill is powered off and the trigger is locked out. Secure the workpiece before drilling to prevent material movement. Use appropriate speed settings for the material type — lower speeds generally suit metal, higher speeds suit wood and plastic. Wear appropriate eye protection in accordance with job-site safety requirements.
