Drill Bit Art-Pol AR54435 spiral hex shank for wood 35 mm

Spiral wood drill bit Art-Pol AR54435 with a 35 mm cutting diameter. This hex-shank bit is designed for drilling clean, precise holes in soft and hard wood, plywood and chipboard. The spiral flute geometry promotes rapid chip evacuation and reduces clogging, while the hexagonal shank allows secure engagement with quick-change chucks and screwdriver adapters. The bit is suitable for use in handheld drills and drill presses for carpentry, joinery and general DIY applications.

Advantages

The spiral flute provides efficient chip removal and smoother cutting action, improving hole quality. The 35 mm cutting diameter yields wide, consistent holes for dowels, fittings and through-holes. A hexagonal shank prevents slippage in quick-change chucks and adapters, enabling faster bit changes and stable torque transfer. The bit’s design balances cutting performance and durability for routine woodworking tasks.

Suitable for

• Drilling clean through-holes and dowel holes in solid wood
• Preparing holes in plywood and chipboard for fittings and hardware
• Use with handheld electric drills and drill presses
• Carpentry, furniture assembly and general DIY woodworking

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 35 mm
• Shank type: hexagonal for quick-change chucks and screwdriver adapters
• Intended materials: softwood, hardwood, plywood, chipboard
• Flute type: spiral for chip evacuation
• Typical applications: through-holes, dowel holes, fittings installation

How to use

Mark the drilling position and secure the workpiece to prevent movement. Use appropriate speed settings for the wood type: lower speeds for hard wood and higher speeds for soft wood and plywood. Insert the hex shank firmly into a compatible chuck or adapter, ensuring a tight fit before operation. Apply steady, even pressure and allow the spiral flute to clear chips; withdraw the bit occasionally for cleaning when drilling deeper holes. For repeated or large-diameter holes, consider using a drill press or guide to maintain perpendicularity and hole accuracy.

Usage recommendations

For best results, clamp the workpiece, start drilling at low speed to establish the hole, and increase speed as needed. Keep the cutting edge sharp and remove accumulated chips regularly. Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and hearing protection while operating power tools.
