Description
Overview:
The DEWALT Extreme 2 Metal Drill Bit DT5050-QZ is a 7.0 mm precision twist drill designed for clean, accurate holes in metal and other common materials. Made from high‐grade steel with a hard-wearing finish, it features a split point tip that helps start holes exactly where needed and reduces walking on smooth surfaces. Sized at 7.0 mm (0.28 in) diameter, it has a working length of 66 mm (2.6 in) and an overall length of 109 mm (4.3 in), making it suitable for general jobber-length tasks. It fits standard three‐jaw chucks on cordless and corded hand drills, as well as bench drill presses. The Extreme 2 design is well regarded by trades and DIY users for dependable performance on steel, alloyed and non‐alloyed metals, wood, and plastics.
Key Features:
- 7.0 mm (0.28 in) split point tip for accurate starts and reduced slipping on metal surfaces. - Jobber length: working length 66 mm (2.6 in), overall length 109 mm (4.3 in) for versatile reach and rigidity. - Suitable for steels up to 900 N/mm2, plus alloyed/non‐alloyed metals, wood, and plastics. - Cylindrical shank for secure grip in standard 3‐jaw chucks on portable and stationary drills. - Supports burr‐reduced drilling in sheet and thin materials when used at correct speeds. - Durable construction for repeatable hole quality and long service life with proper use. - Efficient cutting geometry helps reduce feed pressure for smoother drilling. - Straightforward to fit and remove; no special collet or adaptor required. - Performs best with appropriate cutting fluid on metals to improve finish and bit life. - Well suited to everyday maintenance, installation, and fabrication tasks where a reliable 7 mm hole is required.
Typical Applications:
Drilling pilot and clearance holes in mild steel brackets, alloy plates, and profiles up to 900 N/mm2. Sheet‐metal work for ducts and enclosures. Fabrication and repair on site using cordless drills. Fixing and mounting tasks in workshops. General-purpose drilling in hardwood, softwood, and plastics where a 7 mm hole is specified.
