The DeWalt DW1639 self-feed wood bit is a game - changer for woodworking projects. Its two - cutter design minimizes binding and stalling, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted drilling process. The self - feeding screw enables rapid penetration through the material, saving you time and effort. The flat sections on the bit shank enhance bit retention, keeping it firmly in place during operation. Additionally, the blades are resharpenable, which means you can reuse this bit multiple times, providing long - term value. Specifications include a 7/16 - inch shank and a 2 - 9/16 - inch self - feed bit, making it suitable for a variety of woodworking tasks.


Using the DeWalt DW1639 self - feed wood bit is easy. First, make sure your drill is set to the appropriate speed for the type of wood you're working with. Insert the bit into the drill, ensuring it fits snugly into the chuck. Start drilling slowly at first to let the self - feeding screw grab the material. Once it starts to penetrate, you can increase the speed. When it comes to maintenance, keep the bit clean after each use. Use a wire brush to remove any sawdust or debris. If the blades become dull, you can resharpen them with a suitable sharpening tool. As for safety, always wear safety goggles to protect your eyes from flying wood chips. Also, make sure the workpiece is securely clamped down to prevent it from moving during drilling.
