DEWALT DW1916B – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the DEWALT DW1916B 1/4-inch pilot point bit fit a standard keyless drill chuck?
Yes. The DW1916B has a straight 1/4 inch shank, so it seats in any 3/8 inch or 1/2 inch keyed or keyless chuck. DEWALT's no-spin shank is flatted so the chuck jaws bite instead of letting the bit slip under torque. Overall length is 4 inches with a 2-1/4 inch flute.
2) How deep a hole can I drill with the DEWALT DW1916B 1/4-inch bit?
The usable depth is the flute length, 2-1/4 inches. Past that the flutes stop clearing chips and the bit will pack up and overheat. Overall length is 4 inches, so budget roughly an inch and a half for chuck grip. For anything deeper than 2-1/4 inches you need an aircraft-length or extension bit.
3) Are these DEWALT gold oxide pilot point bits for metal or for wood?
High speed steel with a gold ferrous oxide finish, so they handle both. The pilot point tip is the differentiator: it starts on contact without a center punch and cuts a clean exit hole in sheet metal instead of grabbing and locking up on breakthrough. DEWALT lists them for metal fabrication, general carpentry, electrical and plumbing rough-in, and equipment repair. For masonry or concrete you need a carbide-tipped hammer bit instead; HSS will not survive it.
4) Is the DEWALT DW1916B a bulk pack of one size or an assorted index set?
One size only. The DW1916B is a bulk pack of 1/4 inch bits, not a graduated index. If you need a range of sizes for an electrical or MRO cart, buy a multi-size pilot point set; this part number is for shops that burn through 1/4 inch repeatedly and want spares on hand.
5) Will a 1/4-inch DEWALT pilot point bit drill a clearance hole for 1/4-inch hardware?
It drills a nominal 1/4 inch hole, which is a tight line-to-line fit on a 1/4 inch bolt or anchor rather than a clearance hole. For free-running clearance on 1/4-20 hardware, step up to 17/64 or 9/32. Where you want the fastener snug, such as a threaded insert or a tapped pilot, 1/4 inch is the right call.
6) Do the size markings wear off these DEWALT bits after use?
No. The size is stamped above the shank rather than on the gripping surface, so chuck jaws do not scrub it away. That matters on a bulk pack of loose bits with no index block to keep them sorted.
7) Do DEWALT DW1916B drill bits carry a Prop 65 warning?
No Prop 65 generic warning is attached to the DW1916B pilot point bits. They are high speed steel and manufactured in China.
8) Why do these DEWALT bits break less than standard jobber bits in steel?
Two things. The web is tapered, which thickens the core toward the shank and resists snapping under side load, and the gold ferrous oxide finish adds wear resistance so the cutting edges hold longer before they start rubbing and heating. Keep the speed down and use cutting fluid in steel and they last considerably longer.
