Drill bit GRAPHITE 57H226 — single-piece, standard size (pack 1)

GRAPHITE 57H226 is a single-piece wood spade drill bit supplied as one unit per pack. Designed for general-purpose wood drilling, this bit features a specially profiled blade that reduces tear-out and increases drilling speed. The bit is compatible with hand drills, drill presses, and cordless screwdrivers when used with magnetic holders thanks to its hexagonal quick-change holder, making it a practical spare or replacement for woodworking tasks.

Advantages

The spade-shaped cutting blade and its special profile deliver faster chip evacuation and reduced splintering at the hole edges. The single-piece construction provides improved rigidity and durability compared with multi-component shank-and-blade designs. A hexagonal quick-change holder enables secure seating in magnetic quick-change adapters and enhances compatibility with cordless screwdriver systems that accept hex shanks.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in soft and hardwood for carpentry and joinery
• Fast pilot and through-hole drilling in construction timber and board materials
• On-site repairs and installations where a single spare bit is required
• Working with cordless screwdrivers or hand drills using a compatible magnetic holder

Key specifications

• Type: single-piece spade (flat) wood drill bit
• Shank style: hexagonal quick-change shank for magnetic holders
• Material and finish: hardened steel construction suitable for wood drilling
• Pack quantity: one drill bit per pack

How to use

Secure the drill bit in the chuck or magnetic quick-change adapter, ensuring the hexagonal shank is fully seated and locked. Select an appropriate drill speed for the wood species being drilled; use higher speed for softwoods and moderate speed for hardwoods. Start drilling with light pressure to establish the hole and increase pressure steadily while allowing the bit to remove chips. Withdraw the bit periodically to clear chips on deeper holes and avoid overheating. After use, clean wood debris from the blade and store the bit dry to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the GRAPHITE spade bit with a drill that allows stable, straight drilling and a compatible magnetic quick-change adapter for cordless drivers. When working with delicate-faced boards or veneered panels, place a backing board under the workpiece to minimize tear-out. Inspect the cutting edge before use and replace the bit if the blade becomes chipped or excessively worn.
