Makita introduces new drill bit range 12 November 2018

The new OmniBohrer range of drill bits joins Makita’s extensive range of high performance accessories – aiming to help save time whilst improve operator efficiency and accuracy.

Bits in this multipurpose collection are suitable for use with a diverse range of materials including concrete, tile, brick, slate, limestone, wood, composite materials, aluminium and plastics – totally eliminating the need to switch between bit types.

The collection of 25 drill bits, ranging from 3mm – 14mm diameter and lengths of 60mm – 400mm, feature a high-quality tungsten carbide tip that can be used for different applications across various industries. Tungsten carbide is more durable than many other materials because of its exceptional levels of toughness and hardness. The wide flutes of the OmniBohrer bits deliver quick and efficient material extraction.

This multipurpose collection will be welcomed by many manufacturing professionals using multi-layer or composite materials, such as that used in the manufacture of windows and doors or for fixing wood or metal to brickwork without the need to switch bit types.
