Wood paddle drill bit MODECO MN-61-625 25 mm hex shank

MODECO wood paddle drill bit MN-61-625 with a 25 mm cutting diameter is designed for drilling clean, wide holes in soft and hard wood. The flat paddle-shaped blade removes material quickly and creates a consistent hole profile, while the hexagonal shank provides secure grip in standard chucks and quick-change adapters. This drill bit is intended for use in hand drills and drill drivers where efficient chip evacuation and stable drilling are required.

Advantages

The paddle geometry enables rapid material removal and stable hole entry, reducing wandering during start-up. A sharpened cutting edge delivers a straight, even bore with minimal tear-out on the exit side when used with proper technique. The hex shank improves retention in chucks and quick-change holders and facilitates fast bit changes. The solid construction supports repetitive use in carpentry and joinery tasks where consistent hole diameter is important.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes for door hardware, locks and latches in timber
• Creating holes for cable and pipe passes in wooden panels and studs
• General carpentry and joinery where 25 mm diameter holes are required
• DIY and professional woodworking tasks using hand drills or cordless drivers

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 25 mm
• Blade style: flat paddle/spade
• Shank type: hexagonal shank for secure grip
• Material: hardened steel (for wood drilling applications)
• Compatibility: suitable for standard drill chucks and quick-change adapters

How to use

Mark the drilling position and secure the workpiece to prevent movement. Fit the 25 mm paddle drill bit into the drill chuck or quick-change adapter and tighten securely. Start drilling at low speed to establish the entry point, then increase speed while applying steady, even pressure. Withdraw the bit periodically if long holes are required to clear chips and avoid overheating. For cleaner exit edges, support the workpiece from the reverse side or finish the hole from both sides.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection and hearing protection when required. Select drill speed appropriate to the wood type—lower speeds for hardwoods and higher speeds for softwoods—and avoid excessive feed force to preserve bit life and improve hole quality.
