Festool BKS SYS3 D3-10 CE/W CENTROTEC Wood Drill Bit Case

At a Glance: Premium six-piece CENTROTEC spiral wood drill bit set covering ø 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 10 mm, neatly organised in a magnetic cassette designed for Systainer³ models with lid compartments. The high-alloy ball-bearing-steel drill bits feature a centring point, two cutting edges and two chamfers for fast, clean drilling in wood, glued solid wood, MDF, laminated chipboard and acrylic glass.

The Festool BKS SYS3 D3-10 CE/W is a professional six-piece wood drill bit assortment designed around the fast and compact CENTROTEC drilling system. It includes the most useful everyday wood-drilling diameters from 3 mm through 10 mm, with each drill bit manufactured from high-alloy ball-bearing steel for durability and reliable cutting performance. A precise centring point establishes the drilling position before the two main cutting edges enter the material, helping produce fast, clean and accurately positioned holes. Instead of conventional pre-cutting blades, Festool uses two chamfers on these bits, a design intended to provide long service life even when drilling laminated chipboard. The integrated CENTROTEC interface allows each drill bit to be inserted directly into the WH-CE CENTROTEC tool chuck for exceptionally quick changes between drilling and screwdriving accessories. All six drills are stored securely in a compact magnetic cassette that fits Festool Systainer³ models with lid compartments and can also be used independently as a convenient portable drill-bit case.

Six essential wood-drilling sizes, always organised

The BKS SYS3 D3-10 CE/W combines ø 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 10 mm drill bits in one compact cassette. These sizes cover a broad range of furniture, installation and joinery tasks, while the magnetic storage system keeps every drill visible, secure and immediately accessible.

Extra Information

What does BKS mean? BKS identifies this Festool product as a drill-bit cassette / drill-bit case set.
What does SYS3 mean? SYS3 indicates that the cassette is designed around the Festool Systainer³ storage system, specifically models with a suitable lid compartment.
What does D3-10 mean? The assortment covers drill diameters from 3 mm through 10 mm.
What does CE mean? CE identifies the Festool CENTROTEC interface used by the drill bits.
What does W mean? W identifies the set as the version intended for wood-drilling applications.
Why use a centring point? The pointed centre enters the material first and establishes the drilling position, reducing the tendency of the bit to wander across the workpiece surface.
Why are there two cutting edges? The cutting edges remove material around the centre point and help create a controlled cylindrical bore.
Why does Festool use two chamfers instead of pre-cutting blades? Festool specifies this geometry to provide extended useful life, including when drilling laminated chipboard.
Why high-alloy ball-bearing steel? The material combines strength and wear resistance suitable for high-quality wood-drilling tools.
Why CENTROTEC? CENTROTEC provides a compact direct-drive interface that allows compatible drilling and screwdriving accessories to be changed especially quickly.
Why magnetic storage? Magnets retain the drills securely inside the cassette while still allowing each bit to be removed conveniently when required.
Can the box be used without a Systainer? Yes. Festool specifically states that the drill-bit cassette can also be used as a separate standalone box.

CENTROTEC – quick changes without a conventional chuck

The Festool CENTROTEC system allows compatible bits to lock directly into the WH-CE tool chuck. This creates a compact drilling setup and makes moving between wood drills, countersinks and screwdriver bits particularly quick – useful during furniture assembly and installation work where drilling and fastening operations alternate constantly.

Why the different overall and spiral lengths?

As drill diameter increases, the bits become progressively longer to provide suitable drilling depth, chip clearance and mechanical strength. For example, the ø 3 mm drill measures 73 mm overall with a 33 mm spiral, while the ø 10 mm drill extends to 127 mm overall with an 88 mm spiral.

Designed for more than ordinary timber

Although primarily a wood-drilling set, Festool also specifies the bits for glued solid wood, MDF and acrylic glass. This makes the assortment particularly useful in modern furniture and interior-fitting work where natural timber, engineered board and plastics may all appear within the same project.

Pro Tips

Mark the drilling position accurately and allow the centring point to establish itself before applying full feed pressure.
Keep the drill square to the workpiece where a perpendicular hole is required.
Use a backing board when drilling completely through timber or panel material if breakout on the reverse face must be minimised.
Reduce feed pressure as the drill approaches the far side of the workpiece.
When drilling deep holes, withdraw the bit periodically so chips can clear from the spiral.
When drilling acrylic glass, use controlled speed and feed pressure to avoid excessive heat build-up.
Make a test hole first when working with unfamiliar plastics or laminated boards.
Keep the CENTROTEC interface clean so the bits insert and lock smoothly.
Do not continue using a drill with damaged cutting edges or a bent shaft, as this can affect hole quality and accuracy.
Return each drill to its correct magnetic position immediately after use so the complete set remains easy to check.
Keep adhesive, resin and compacted dust off the cutting edges and spiral flutes.
Store the cassette closed when not in use to protect the cutting edges from impact and contamination.

How to Use

Select the required drill diameter from the magnetic cassette.
Fit the WH-CE CENTROTEC tool chuck to the compatible Festool drill where required.
Insert the CENTROTEC drill bit fully into the chuck and confirm that it is securely locked.
Mark the required drilling position on the workpiece.
Secure small or movable workpieces before drilling.
Select an appropriate machine speed for the drill diameter and material.
Place the centring point precisely on the drilling mark.
Start the machine and allow the centre point to establish the hole before increasing feed pressure.
Maintain controlled axial pressure while keeping the bit aligned with the required drilling direction.
For deeper holes, withdraw the bit periodically to clear chips from the spiral.
Reduce feed pressure as the bit approaches the far side when drilling through the workpiece.
Allow the drill to stop fully before removing or changing the accessory.
Clean loose chips from the bit where required.
Return the drill to its correct position inside the magnetic cassette.

Make sure the selected drill bit is fully inserted and securely locked before starting the machine.
Inspect each drill before use and do not operate a bit that is bent, cracked or has damaged cutting edges.
Wear suitable eye protection while drilling.
Use hearing protection where required by the machine and application.
Use appropriate dust extraction and respiratory protection when drilling MDF and other engineered wood materials.
Secure small or movable workpieces before drilling.
Check the drilling area for concealed electrical cables, plumbing or other hazards where applicable.
Use a machine speed appropriate to the drill diameter and material.
Do not apply excessive feed pressure, particularly when drilling smaller diameters.
Use controlled speed and pressure when drilling acrylic glass to minimise heat build-up.
Keep hands clear of the rotating drill and chuck.
Allow the drill to stop fully before changing accessories.
Follow the operating and safety instructions for the Festool cordless drill or percussion drill being used.
