Drill bit Art-Pol AR54422 spiral hex shank for wood 22 mm

Spiral wood drill bit Art-Pol AR54422 with a 22 mm diameter and hexagonal shank is designed for drilling clean, accurate holes in a variety of wood materials. The spiral flute geometry evacuates chips efficiently, reducing clogging and heat build-up during continuous drilling. The hex shank ensures a secure grip in chucks and quick-change adapters, making the bit suitable for handheld drills and drill drivers used in carpentry and joinery.

Advantages

The spiral flute design provides fast chip removal for smoother hole walls and reduced tear-out on both soft and hard wood. The hexagonal shank improves torque transfer and prevents slipping in quick-change holders and standard chucks, enabling consistent drilling performance. Built for woodworking tasks, the bit balances cutting efficiency with stability to produce clean, round holes with minimal finishing required.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in softwoods and hardwoods
• Creating holes in plywood and laminated boards
• On-site carpentry and joinery using handheld drills
• Fitting hardware where 22 mm diameter holes are required

Key specifications

• Drill type: spiral wood bit
• Cutting diameter: 22 mm
• Shank type: hexagonal shank for secure gripping
• Material compatibility: softwood, hardwood, plywood, similar wood-based materials
• Flute style: spiral for efficient chip evacuation
• Intended use: handheld drills and drill drivers

How to use

Mark the drilling position and secure the workpiece to prevent movement. Fit the hex shank into the drill chuck or quick-change adapter and tighten securely. Start drilling at low speed to establish the hole, then increase speed as appropriate for the material and bit diameter. Apply steady pressure without forcing the bit; allow the spiral flute to remove chips. Retract the bit occasionally for deeper holes to clear debris and avoid overheating.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and hearing protection. For precise, clean edges, back the workpiece with a sacrificial board to reduce splintering at the exit side. Match drill speed to material hardness—lower speeds for hardwoods and higher speeds for softer materials—and keep the bit sharp for best results.
