Drill Bit Art-Pol AR54380 spiral hex shank for wood 30 mm

Spiral wood drill bit Art-Pol AR54380 with a 30 mm cutting diameter and hex shank is designed for drilling clean, accurate holes in soft and hard wood. The spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation, reducing clogging and helping to maintain cutting efficiency during prolonged use. The hexagonal shank provides secure engagement in standard chucks and quick-change driver holders that accept hex shanks, making the bit compatible with hand drills and cordless drivers commonly used in woodworking and carpentry.

Advantages

The spiral flute design ensures faster chip removal and cleaner holes compared with straight-shank bits. A 30 mm cutting diameter creates a wide bore suitable for many joinery and installation tasks. The hex shank offers improved torque transfer and quick bit changes in chucks and bit holders that accept hex profiles. The bit is made for direct use in wood materials, delivering consistent hole quality across a range of timber densities.

Suitable for

• Drilling through softwoods and hardwoods
• Creating holes for dowels, pipes or cable passages in joinery
• On-site carpentry and furniture assembly with cordless drivers
• Installing door hardware, hinges or large fasteners

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 30 mm
• Shank type: hexagonal shank for secure engagement
• Tip and flute: spiral flute geometry for efficient chip evacuation
• Material suitability: designed for use in soft and hard wood
• Compatibility: intended for use with hand drills and cordless drivers that accept hex shanks

How to use

Secure the drill bit in a compatible chuck or quick-change hex bit holder, ensuring the hex shank seats fully for stable operation. Mark and pilot the hole position on the workpiece, then start drilling at low speed to establish the hole and prevent wandering. Increase speed as the bit engages the material, applying steady pressure without forcing the bit. Withdraw the bit periodically on deep holes to clear chips and reduce heat buildup, allowing the spiral flutes to evacuate debris effectively.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as eye protection and hearing protection. For best results, clamp the workpiece securely, select a drill speed suited to the timber density, and avoid excessive feed force. Regularly inspect the cutting edge for wear; replace the bit when it no longer produces clean cuts to maintain hole quality and reduce risk of damage to the workpiece.
