Drill bit GRAPHITE 57H222 — single piece

GRAPHITE 57H222 — single-piece wood spade drill bit designed for efficient hole making in wooden materials. This professional accessory features a special blade profile that reduces tear-out and increases drilling speed. The bit is supplied as one piece and is compatible with standard drills and drill drivers that accept hexagonal quick-change holders, making it suitable as a spare or replacement for DIY, repair and construction tasks.

Advantages

The spade-shaped blade profile is engineered to double drilling speed compared with conventional bits for wood while minimizing splintering on both entry and exit surfaces. A hexagonal quick-change shank enables secure fitting in magnetic holders of cordless screwdrivers and standard drill chucks designed for hex shanks. The single-piece construction provides straightforward use and storage as a standalone spare component.

Suitable for

• Drilling through soft and hardwood for carpentry and joinery
• Creating clearance holes for bolts and fasteners
• Making rough or pilot holes during renovation and repair work
• Use with cordless screwdrivers equipped with magnetic quick-change holders

Key specifications

• Type: wood spade drill bit
• Shank: hexagonal quick-change shank for magnetic holders
• Construction: single-piece design
• Blade profile: spade with reduced tear-out geometry
• Intended materials: wood and wood-based panels

How to use

Secure the drill bit in a compatible drill, drill driver, or magnetic quick-change holder by inserting the hexagonal shank until it locks. Mark the drilling point and position the tip perpendicular to the work surface. Begin drilling at low speed to establish the cut, then increase speed as needed while applying steady, even pressure. Withdraw periodically for deep holes to clear chips and prevent overheating. After use, clean wood chips from the blade and store the bit dry to avoid corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Use lubricant or reduced speed when drilling laminated or veneered panels to minimize surface damage; clamp workpieces securely and support the exit side to reduce tear-out. Replace the bit if the cutting edge becomes dull or damaged to maintain drilling quality and safety.
