Drill bit GEKO G37320 paddle/auger for wood 32×152 mm HEX shank

The GEKO G37320 paddle/auger drill bit for wood is a 32×152 mm tool with a HEX shank designed for drilling larger, clean holes in soft and hardwood. The bit combines a paddle-shaped cutting head with an auger-style flute profile to remove chips efficiently while producing smooth hole walls. The HEX shank provides secure grip in chucks and quick compatibility with cordless drills and drivers that accept hexagonal shanks.

Advantages

This drill bit delivers precise, large-diameter holes with a sharp cutting spur that reduces splintering on entry and exit. The auger-style flute evacuates wood chips effectively to maintain cutting speed and reduce clogging. The HEX shank minimizes slippage in the chuck and enables quick bit changes when used with hex-compatible drill chucks or bit holders. Its length and diameter are suited to through-holes and partial-depth holes commonly required in carpentry and installation work.

Suitable for

• Drilling through-holes for cables and pipes in wooden structures
• Door and window frame installation requiring clean cutouts
• Carpentry tasks where large-diameter wood holes are needed
• Quick onsite drilling with cordless drills and impact drivers that accept HEX shanks

Key specifications

• Nominal diameter: 32 mm
• Total length: 152 mm
• Shank type: HEX (hexagonal) for secure chuck engagement
• Cutting head: paddle/auger combination for clean entry and efficient chip removal
• Material: hardened steel construction suitable for woodworking applications

How to use

Fit the HEX shank into a compatible drill or bit holder and tighten securely. Position the cutting tip at the desired drilling point and start drilling at low speed to allow the cutting spur to score the surface, then increase speed as chips start to evacuate. Apply steady, moderate pressure and allow the auger flute to remove chips; withdraw periodically if chips accumulate. For cleaner exit holes, support the workpiece from behind or reduce speed when approaching the far side.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as eye protection and hearing protection when drilling. Select a drill with sufficient torque for 32 mm holes in hardwood; when drilling long or deep holes, clear chips regularly to prevent binding and overheating. Avoid excessive lateral force to maintain hole accuracy and prolong bit life.
