Drill bit Luna 25 mm paddle cylindrical for wood, model 203380506

Luna 25 mm paddle cylindrical drill bit for wood, model 203380506 is designed to create clean, straight 25 mm diameter holes in solid wood and wood-based materials. The paddle-style blade provides efficient chip evacuation while the cylindrical shank ensures stable clamping in standard drill chucks. The bit is intended for common woodworking tasks where precise through-holes or pilot openings are required.

Advantages

The paddle geometry delivers fast cutting and effective removal of wood chips, reducing clogging during continuous drilling. A wide flat blade profile helps stabilise the bit for straighter holes and reduces splintering on the exit side when used correctly. The cylindrical shank fits most hand drills and drill drivers with a standard chuck, providing secure mounting and consistent concentricity. The simple, robust design requires minimal maintenance and is suitable for repeated use in handheld and bench applications.

Suitable for

• Drilling 25 mm holes in softwood and hardwood
• Creating holes in plywood, MDF and particleboard
• Carpentry, joinery and furniture assembly
• Installing dowels, bushings or pass-through openings

Key specifications

• Drill type: paddle (spade) bit for wood
• Cutting diameter: 25 mm
• Shank type: cylindrical shank for standard chucks
• Intended materials: solid wood and wood-based panels
• Typical applications: through-holes and pilot openings

How to use

Secure the cylindrical shank in the drill chuck and tighten firmly to ensure concentric rotation. Mark the drilling point and, if necessary, clamp the workpiece to prevent movement. Start drilling at low speed to establish the hole location, then increase speed as the bit cuts. Apply steady, moderate pressure—avoid forcing the bit—to allow the paddle blade to clear chips effectively. To reduce tear-out on the exit side, support the underside of the workpiece or back it with a sacrificial board. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear accumulated chips when drilling deep holes.

Usage recommendations

For best results use with sharp bits and appropriate drill speed for the wood type: lower speeds for hardwoods and higher speeds for softwoods. Inspect the blade for wear before use and replace when cutting performance declines. Use personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and hearing protection when drilling.
