Drill bit Luna paddle 15 mm model 203380308

Luna paddle drill bit 15 mm model 203380308 is a flat spade-style bit designed for fast drilling of clean, wide holes in wood and other soft materials. The paddle profile and sharpened cutting edges allow rapid material removal and effective chip ejection, making this bit suitable for both manual and electric drills used in general carpentry, installation of door hardware, electrical boxes and other on-site woodwork where quick through-holes are required.

Advantages

The paddle geometry delivers efficient cutting with reduced splintering on the exit side when used at recommended speeds. Its reduced shaft diameter minimizes binding while the flattened shank ensures secure grip in standard drill chucks. The simple construction provides a cost-effective solution for drilling larger diameter holes with predictable results and easy clearing of chips during operation.

Suitable for

• Drilling through softwoods and hardwoods for door and lock hardware installation
• Creating openings for electrical boxes and conduit routing
• Rough framing and general carpentry where quick large holes are needed

Key specifications

• Bit type: paddle / spade
• Diameter: 15 mm
• Material compatibility: wood and similar soft materials
• Shank style: straight with flattened section for chuck grip
• Cutting edges: sharpened paddle tip for rapid chip removal

How to use

Mount the Luna paddle bit securely in the drill chuck, ensuring the flattened shank section is aligned for a firm hold. Start drilling at low speed to establish the hole and then increase speed moderately for steady cutting; avoid excessive force—let the bit cut at its own rate to reduce splintering. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear chips when drilling deep holes. For through-holes, support the workpiece to minimize exit splintering.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate drill speed for the wood species being worked: lower speeds for harder woods and higher speeds for softwoods. Wear eye protection and secure the workpiece. For cleaner exit edges, back the workpiece with scrap wood or use a sacrificial board when drilling through thin panels.
