Product description
Festool ZB HS D 5 EURO CE CENTROTEC Centring Drill Bit 5mm for Euro Screws
At a Glance: Self-centring 5 mm CENTROTEC drill bit with adjustable depth stop, designed for accurate fitting installation and 5 mm Euro screw applications.
The Festool ZB HS D 5 EURO CE is a precision centring drill bit developed for fast, accurate installation of fittings, drawer runners and other hardware secured with 5 mm Euro screws. Its spring-mounted centring sleeve automatically locates the drill directly in the centre of fitting holes and templates, helping eliminate misaligned fixing holes and making repeated installation work quicker and more consistent. An integrated adjustable depth stop helps prevent drilling too deeply or through the workpiece, while large chip-ejection openings assist with efficient removal of drilling waste. Designed for use with Festool cordless drills and cordless percussion drills equipped with FastFix tool reception and a WH-CE CENTROTEC tool chuck, this is an extremely useful accessory for furniture makers, cabinet installers, kitchen fitters and anyone who regularly installs precision hardware.
The ZB HS D 5 EURO CE takes the guesswork out of positioning screw holes. Its guide sleeve centres the 5 mm drill bit inside the mounting hole of a fitting or drilling template before the bit enters the material. This helps produce correctly aligned fixing points, particularly when fitting drawer guides and other hardware where even a small positioning error can affect final adjustment and operation.

How does the self-centring sleeve work?
The outer guide sleeve is placed into the fixing hole of the fitting or template. This automatically positions the drill bit in the centre of the opening. When drilling begins, the spring-mounted sleeve retracts into the housing while the 5 mm drill bit enters the workpiece, producing an accurately aligned fixing hole.
Why is centring important when installing fittings?
Drawer runners, cabinet hardware and other fittings often have accurately positioned mounting holes. If the pilot hole is drilled off-centre, the screw can pull the fitting away from its intended position as it is tightened. A self-centring drill helps keep the screw aligned with the fitting hole for cleaner installation and easier final adjustment.
Why use an adjustable depth stop?
Furniture panels are often relatively thin, making excessive drilling depth a serious concern. The adjustable depth stop allows the user to set an appropriate drilling depth beforehand, helping prevent the drill from breaking through the opposite face of the panel.
Replaceable drill bit
The centre drill can be replaced when it eventually becomes worn. Festool HS D 5 order number 493572 is the compatible replacement drill bit and is secured in the centring assembly using a hexagon socket screw. Its projection can then be adjusted to establish the required drilling depth.
Pro Tips
- Set the drilling depth on an offcut of the same thickness before working on finished cabinet components.
- Allow the guide sleeve to locate fully inside the fitting hole before applying drilling pressure.
- Keep the centring sleeve and chip openings clean so the spring mechanism can move freely.
- Do not force the tool once the depth stop has reached its preset position.
- When installing a long drawer runner, drill the first and last mounting points first and confirm alignment before completing the remaining holes.
- Replace a blunt central drill bit promptly to maintain accurate hole positioning and clean drilling performance.
How to Use
- Fit the ZB HS D 5 EURO CE into the compatible Festool CENTROTEC tool chuck.
- Adjust the drilling depth according to the panel thickness and fixing requirement.
- Position the fitting, drawer guide or drilling template accurately on the workpiece.
- Insert the centring sleeve into the appropriate fitting or template hole.
- Hold the drill square to the workpiece and apply gentle forward pressure.
- Start drilling and allow the spring-loaded sleeve to retract naturally into the tool housing.
- Continue until the preset depth stop limits further drilling movement.
- Withdraw the drill cleanly from the hole.
- Repeat the process for the remaining fixing positions.
- After use, remove accumulated chips and check that the centring sleeve moves freely.
Safety
Safety
- Wear suitable eye protection when drilling.
- Secure loose or movable workpieces before drilling.
- Switch the drill off before fitting, adjusting or replacing the centring drill bit.
- Ensure the accessory is correctly locked into the CENTROTEC tool chuck before use.
- Keep fingers clear of the retracting centring sleeve and rotating drill bit.
- Do not use a bent, cracked or excessively worn replacement drill bit.
