Dewalt DW1912 Pilot Point Drill Bit 3/16 Inches

Product Description

The DEWALT DW1912 is a 3/16-inch Pilot Point drill bit engineered for metal drilling applications. The Pilot Point tip is designed to start on contact without walking, delivering accurate hole placement in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. This bit is a single-piece unit sold individually, weighing 0.06 pounds. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and plumbers reach for this size when drilling sheet metal, electrical enclosures, brackets, and mounting surfaces during installation work. Its compact size and precise tip geometry make it a practical addition to a trade professional's drill kit.

The DW1912 is suited for light-gauge metal drilling tasks common in residential and commercial trade work. Typical applications include drilling through steel sheet metal, aluminum panels, copper tubing brackets, and similar materials encountered during HVAC, electrical, and plumbing rough-in or service calls. The 3/16-inch diameter is a frequently used size for self-tapping screw pilots, cable pass-throughs, and anchor pilot holes in metal framing or enclosures.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and replaced by electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general trade professionals using standard hand drills or drill drivers. Ensure the drill is powered off and the bit is fully seated and secured in the chuck before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling thicker steel stock to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Always wear eye protection when drilling metal, as metal chips and burrs present a hazard.
