Drill bit Art-Pol spiral hex shank for wood 24 mm, model AR54374

Art-Pol spiral wood drill bit with 24 mm cutting diameter and hex shank is designed for creating clean, precise holes in soft and hard wood, plywood and chipboard. The spiral flute geometry ensures continuous chip evacuation while the hexagonal shank provides secure grip in the drill chuck and improved torque transfer for cordless and corded drills. The tool is intended for carpentry, furniture making and renovation work where reliable hole quality and efficient debris removal are required.

Advantages

The spiral flute design reduces clogging and maintains a steady drilling speed by channeling wood chips away from the cutting edge. A 24 mm cutting diameter delivers a wide, consistent bore suitable for dowels, cable passages or fastener clearance. The hexagonal shank prevents slippage in standard chucks and quick-change adapters, improving control and reducing cam-out under load. Constructed for general woodworking use, the bit balances cutting performance and durability for repeated use in different wood-based materials.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes for wooden dowels and connectors
• Creating passages for cables or pipes through wooden panels
• Furniture assembly and repair
• Carpentry and joinery work
• Renovation tasks in plywood, chipboard and solid timber

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 24 mm
• Shank type: hexagonal shank for secure grip
• Flute type: spiral flute for chip evacuation
• Material compatibility: soft wood, hard wood, plywood, chipboard
• Intended use: hand-held corded and cordless drills

How to use

Secure the hex shank in the drill chuck or quick-change adapter, making sure it is fully inserted and tightened. Select an appropriate drilling speed for the material: moderate to high speed for soft woods, lower speed for hardwoods to avoid overheating. Apply steady, even pressure and allow the spiral flute to remove chips; periodically withdraw the bit slightly to clear accumulated debris when drilling deep holes. After use, clean wood residues from the flutes and store the bit in a dry place to maintain cutting performance.

Usage recommendations

For best results, pre-drill pilot marks to guide the bit and use a backing board when drilling through thin panels to prevent tear-out. Match drill speed and feed pressure to the wood species, and inspect the cutting edges regularly—resurface or replace the bit when wear affects hole quality.
