Drill Bit GEKO G37301 Wood Paddle Bit 13 x 152 mm HEX

GEKO G37301 Wood Paddle Bit 13 x 152 mm HEX is a spade-style drill bit designed for creating clean, large-diameter holes in soft and construction timber, plywood and similar sheet materials. The bit features a 13 mm cutting diameter and a 152 mm overall length, with a HEX shank that ensures secure grip in chucks and quick-change adapters. Its shape allows fast chip evacuation and steady guidance during drilling with handheld drills and drill drivers used in carpentry and installation tasks.

Advantages

The paddle geometry provides efficient chip removal and reduces clogging while drilling through wood. A centered point and spurs help produce accurate hole edges with minimal splintering on the exit side. The HEX shank offers reliable anti-slip engagement in drill chucks and impact/quick-change holders, improving control and enabling faster bit changes. The 152 mm overall length gives sufficient reach for most standard carpentry and installation jobs.

How to use

Secure the GEKO G37301 paddle bit in a compatible drill chuck or HEX quick-change adapter, ensuring firm seating to prevent wobble. Mark the drilling point, start at low speed to establish the center, then increase speed and apply steady pressure while allowing the bit to cut without forcing. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear accumulated chips for faster drilling and cleaner holes. Reduce speed and support the workpiece on the exit side to minimize splintering when drilling through thin boards.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, clamp the workpiece, and select drilling speeds suitable for wood to maintain bit life and achieve clean results. Replace the bit if the cutting edges become dull or if excessive wobble occurs.
