Pilot Point Drill Bit - 1/4 In - DeWALT

The DeWALT DW1916B 1/4 In. Pilot Point Drill Bit is engineered for professional technicians and mechanics who demand precise, burr-free holes in demanding automotive and industrial environments. Its innovative Pilot Point geometry ensures immediate cutting upon contact, effectively preventing bit walk and enhancing accuracy for critical, repeatable tasks across various materials.

Key Features

• Pilot Point Tip: Designed to initiate drilling precisely where placed, this tip eliminates bit walking and often negates the need for center punching, delivering clean hole initiation and reducing rework.
• No-Spin Shank: Featuring a flat shank design, this drill bit locks securely into the drill chuck, minimizing slippage under heavy load and maintaining consistent torque transfer for efficient and reliable drilling.
• High-Speed Steel Construction: Manufactured from professional-grade high-speed steel, this drill bit provides robust wear resistance and superior heat tolerance, ensuring sustained performance and durability in demanding shop conditions.
• Precision-Ground Cutting Edges: The meticulously ground cutting edges consistently produce clean and accurate 1/4-inch holes with reduced burring, thereby minimizing the need for deburring and post-drilling finishing time.
• Versatile Material Compatibility: This tool performs effectively across a range of materials commonly encountered in professional applications, including wood, plastics, and light-gauge metals.

Applications

This 1/4 In. Pilot Point Drill Bit is ideal for automotive repair and maintenance tasks where precise hole location and a clean finish are paramount. It is well-suited for mounting electrical components, brackets, clamps, and abrasion guards on vehicle body panels or interior structures. Technicians will find it invaluable for creating pilot holes for fasteners in sheet metal, various plastics, and composite trim found in modern vehicles. Additionally, it is an essential tool for general shop fabrication, the creation of jigs and fixtures, and light industrial work requiring reliable, repeatable 1/4-inch holes.
