Dewalt Accessories DW1918 Split Point Drill Bit 9/32 in

Product Description

The DEWALT ACCESSORIES DW1918 is a 9/32-inch split point drill bit engineered for clean, accurate hole-starting in wood, metal, and plastic. The pilot point tip contacts the workpiece immediately, eliminating the need to center-punch before drilling. A tapered web construction adds core strength to reduce bit breakage under load. The no-spin shank locks securely in the chuck, preventing slippage during high-torque applications. Size markings are positioned above the shank, away from the wear zone, so the diameter stays readable throughout the tool's service life. This bit ships in a package quantity of three.

This drill bit is suited for general-purpose drilling tasks encountered by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and woodworkers alike. Its ability to start on contact without walking makes it well-suited for sheet metal, structural lumber, plastic enclosures, and similar materials found in residential and light commercial trade work. The reduced lock-up on breakthrough helps maintain control when the bit exits the material, lowering the risk of workpiece damage or injury.

Key Features

• Pilot point tip starts on contact for accurate, walk-free hole placement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use drill bit for standard 3/8-inch and 1/2-inch keyed or keyless drill chucks used in residential and commercial trade drilling applications.

Installation Notes

Install this bit in a corded or cordless drill with the no-spin shank seated fully in the chuck before tightening. Disconnect or power down the drill before changing bits. Use appropriate cutting speed for the material being drilled — slower speeds generally suit metal, while faster speeds are appropriate for wood and plastic. Wear appropriate eye protection per applicable job-site safety requirements.
