Drill bit Condor spiral hex shank for wood 12 mm CON-DA230-12

Spiral wood drill bit Condor with 12 mm cutting diameter and hexagonal shank is engineered for drilling clean, accurate holes in solid wood and wood-based materials. The spiral flute geometry efficiently evacuates chips to reduce clogging and heat buildup, while the hex shank ensures a secure grip in keyed chucks, quick-change holders and many cordless drills. The bit is suitable for both handheld drilling and bench drill presses, providing consistent results for woodworking and general carpentry tasks.

Advantages

The spiral profile delivers fast chip removal and smoother cutting action, reducing splintering on entry and exit. A 12 mm cutting diameter offers a balance between material removal rate and control for typical joinery and fitting tasks. The hex shank prevents slippage under torque and allows quick bit changes in compatible chucks and adapters. The bit’s geometry is optimized for wood and wood-based panels, helping to achieve straight holes with minimal tear-out.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in solid wood and softwood
• Working with plywood, MDF and particleboard
• Furniture assembly and dowel holes
• General carpentry and joinery
• Handheld cordless drills and drill press operations

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 12 mm
• Shank type: hexagonal shank for improved grip
• Flute type: spiral flute for chip evacuation
• Material compatibility: wood and wood-based materials
• Intended use: manual and machine drilling

How to use

Secure the drill bit in the chuck or quick-change holder until it is seated firmly against the stop. Select an appropriate drilling speed for the wood type—lower RPM for hard woods, higher RPM for soft woods—while applying steady, moderate pressure. Start drilling at a right angle to the surface and maintain alignment to produce straight holes. Withdraw the bit periodically on deep holes to clear chips and avoid overheating.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate eye and hearing protection when drilling. Use clamps or a vise to secure workpieces to prevent movement. For clean entry and exit surfaces, consider backing the workpiece with scrap wood and using slower speeds on delicate panels.
