Drill bit Art-Pol AR54424 spiral hex shank for wood 24 mm

Spiral wood drill bit Art-Pol AR54424 with a 24 mm cutting diameter and hex shank is designed for creating clean, accurate holes in a variety of wood materials. The spiral flute geometry evacuates chips efficiently to prevent clogging during continuous drilling, while the hexagonal shank provides firm seating in chucks and rapid-change holders. This bit is suitable for use with handheld drills and cordless drill drivers when precise wood drilling is required.

Advantages

The spiral flute design ensures fast chip removal and reduces heat buildup for smoother drilling. The 24 mm cutting diameter delivers a large, consistent hole suitable for dowels, pipe passages and larger fittings. A hexagonal shank improves torque transfer and prevents slippage in chucks and quick-change adaptors. The bit geometry is optimized for cutting in softwoods, hardwoods, plywood and chipboard, producing relatively clean hole edges with minimal tear-out when used with proper feed and support.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes for dowels and wooden joinery
• Preparing openings for pipes or cables in wooden panels
• Creating larger holes in furniture making and carpentry
• Use with handheld drills and cordless drivers for on-site work

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 24 mm
• Material compatibility: softwood, hardwood, plywood, chipboard
• Flute type: spiral for chip evacuation
• Shank type: hexagonal for secure grip and quick-change systems
• Typical applications: woodworking, carpentry, furniture assembly

How to use

Secure the bit in the drill chuck or quick-change holder until it seats firmly on the hex shank. Position the workpiece on a stable surface and, where possible, support the exit side with backing material to minimise splintering. Start drilling at low speed to establish the hole, then apply steady pressure and increase speed as appropriate for the wood type. Withdraw the bit periodically on deep holes to clear chips and avoid overheating. After use, clean chips from the spiral flute and store the bit in a dry place.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use a drill with adjustable speed and maintain moderate feed pressure. When working with hardwood or laminated panels, pilot the hole or use backing support to reduce tear-out. Inspect the cutting edge before use and replace the bit if it becomes blunt to preserve hole quality and reduce motor load.
