Wot-Nots High Speed Drill Bit – 1/8in Size 1/8in. (PWN167)

Description

Genuine Wot-Nots · Part no. PWN167

The Wot-Nots PWN167 is a single 1/8in high speed drill bit, the size usually used to make pilot holes for number plate fixing screws. It cuts plastic and metal, so it goes through an acrylic plate and into the bumper or the plate's backing panel when you fit a new registration plate.

Good to know

• Is 1/8in right for my screws? It is the common size for number plate screws, but hold the bit against the screw you plan to use: the hole should be about the size of the screw's core, well under its outside thread, so the screw bites.
• How do I stop the plate cracking? Mark the hole, start the drill slowly with light pressure and let the bit cut; forcing it through acrylic chips or splits the edge of the hole.
• What should I check before drilling? Look behind the panel first, because wiring, washer pipes or a boot lid seal can sit right where you plan to make a hole.

Which one?

For cutting out spot welds on bodywork rather than drilling small holes, the Workshop Warehouse Alpen Hss-Co Cobalt Spot Weld Drills 8X80Mm (TL538) is made for the job.
