Drill Bit GEKO paddle/auger 30 x 152 mm HEX shank G37318

Paddle (auger) drill bit GEKO G37318 for wood with a 30 mm cutting diameter and 152 mm overall length. The bit has a HEX shank designed for secure grip in manual and power drills. It is made to remove material quickly while producing clean, straight holes in softwood and construction timber, suitable for carpentry, installation and other on-site drilling tasks that require a defined hole size.

Advantages

The paddle design combines a sharp cutting edge with a central spur to produce clean hole edges and reduce tear-out. The 30 mm cutting diameter and 152 mm overall length balance hole depth and stability during drilling. A HEX shank ensures the bit seats firmly in chucks and quick-change holders to minimize slippage under torque. The geometry and cutting profile are optimized for rapid material removal and consistent hole diameter in wood.

Suitable for

• Drilling through softwood and construction timber
• Carpentry and joinery tasks requiring 30 mm holes
• Installation work for running pipes, cables or dowels
• Handheld and drill-press applications with HEX-shank compatible chucks

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 30 mm
• Overall length: 152 mm
• Shank type: HEX shank for secure grip
• Tip type: paddle/auger-style cutting tip with central spur
• Intended material: wood (softwood and general construction timber)

How to use

Fit the drill bit into a compatible chuck or quick-change holder, ensuring the HEX shank is fully seated and tightened. Position the bit perpendicular to the workpiece for a straight hole, then start drilling at low speed to engage the spur and establish the cut. Increase speed as appropriate for the material and maintain steady pressure; allow the bit to clear chips frequently to avoid clogging and overheating. For deeper holes, withdraw the bit periodically to remove debris and preserve cutting performance.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and hearing protection. Match drill speed to the timber type—moderate to high speeds for softwood, reduced speed for denser materials—to prolong tool life. Keep the bit clean of pitch and resin, and inspect the cutting edges before use; replace the bit if excessive wear or damage is present.
