MODECO wood paddle drill bit hex shank 22 mm MN-61-622

MODECO wood paddle drill bit hex shank 22 mm MN-61-622 is a paddle (spade) bit designed for fast drilling of clean, large-diameter holes in soft and construction wood, plywood and particleboard. The 22 mm cutting diameter and flat paddle profile provide effective wood removal and straight drilling when used with handheld drills and drill drivers that accept hex shanks. The bit is intended for general carpentry and building tasks where quick bore holes for cables, pipes or dowels are required.

Advantages

The hex shank ensures secure grip in quick-change chucks and reduces slippage under torque. The paddle shape gives efficient chip evacuation and helps maintain hole roundness in soft woods and engineered panels. Its 22 mm diameter is useful for creating clearance holes and pass-throughs without needing step bits or hole saws, offering a balance between speed and control on jobsite materials.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes for cable and pipe routing in stud walls and floorboards
• Quick clearance holes for dowels and fasteners during furniture assembly
• Rough framing and on-site carpentry where large, clean holes are required
• Working with plywood and particleboard for cabinetry and interior fittings

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 22 mm
• Shank type: hex shank for quick-change chucks
• Suitable materials: soft wood, construction timber, plywood, particleboard
• Bit type: paddle (spade) drill bit

How to use

Secure the hex shank in a compatible drill or driver chuck and set the drill to an appropriate speed for wood drilling—moderate speed reduces burning and splintering. Mark the drilling point, apply steady pressure and keep the drill perpendicular to the work surface. Withdraw the bit periodically if drilling deep holes to clear chips and avoid clogging. For best results in thin panels, support the back side to minimize tear-out.

Usage recommendations

Use a drill with a hex chuck or quick-change adapter to prevent slippage. Wear eye protection and clamp workpieces securely. For cleaner exits on veneered or laminated boards, place sacrificial backing material behind the hole or drill from both sides.
