Dewalt DW1918 Pilot Point Drill Bit 9/32 in Metal

Product Description

The DEWALT DW1918 is a 9/32-inch Pilot Point drill bit engineered for drilling into metal. The Pilot Point tip geometry centers the bit on contact, reducing walking and producing cleaner entry holes without a center-punch step. At 0.13 pounds, it is a lightweight, single-piece bit suited for handheld drills and drill presses alike. Licensed electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general trade contractors reach for this bit when drilling through sheet metal, conduit hangers, metal studs, and light structural steel during rough-in and finish work.

This bit is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial applications where a 9/32-inch hole is required in ferrous or non-ferrous metal stock. Typical scenarios include drilling pilot holes for fasteners, conduit knockouts, and bracket mounting points. It is sold as an individual bit, making it a straightforward replacement or addition to an existing bit set.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by trade professionals or knowledgeable users familiar with power tools and metal drilling procedures.
