Description
The Procat depth stop set includes three stops of different sizes for drill bits: 6 mm, 8 mm and 10 mm. These depth stops are designed to stop the drill bit sinking too far into the material being drilled, which improves the precision of the work and prevents damage.
Each stop has a side screw that fixes it firmly to the drill bit shank at the required depth. This simple but effective mechanism allows fast, secure depth adjustment without special tools.
The stops are made of durable metal that does not wear easily with repeated use. They are suitable for drilling wood, plastic and other softer materials, especially when the depth of the holes must be constant, for example when recessing hinges, joints or fitting parts.
The compact 3-piece set is easy to carry and is excellent for professionals and for hobby work that requires precision.
Intended use:
-
Joinery and furniture work: The depth stop prevents the drill bit going through or too deep, for example in joint holes, hinge boring and installations with wooden dowels.
-
Electrical installations and boxings: When drilling holes for boxings or cables, the stop helps you drill to a precisely defined depth, for example behind electrical boxes.
-
Model building and precision work: In building scale models and other work that requires millimetre precision, the depth stop ensures repeatability and prevents damage.

Depth stop set instructions for use:

-
Place the stop on the drill bit shank at the point where you want to limit the maximum depth.
-
Tighten the side screw lightly with a hex key or a small screwdriver.
-
Drill as normal: the stop stops the advance exactly at the set depth.
-
Remove and clean the stop after use. Store in a dry place.
How to choose the right depth stop:
-
Drill bit size: Make sure the stop fits the diameter of the drill bit you use.
-
Material type: Use depth stops mainly for wood and plastic; with hard metals they can wear faster.

Need for precision: If the work requires repeated, precise drilling, the stop improves repeatability significantly.
-
Tool compatibility: Make sure the stop does not interfere with the drill chuck or other accessories.
