Wood Spade Drill Bit MODECO MN-61-630 30 mm hex shank

MODECO Wood Spade Drill Bit MN-61-630 with a 30 mm cutting diameter and hexagonal shank is a flat (spade) bit designed for creating larger through-holes in wood and wood-based materials. It is intended for use with handheld drills and cordless drivers that accept hex shanks. The blade geometry and wide flute area promote fast chip evacuation and stable drilling when working in soft and construction timber, plywood and similar substrates.

Advantages

The spade design provides efficient material removal and straightforward hole formation without the need for pilot bits in many applications. The 30 mm cutting diameter yields a clean, consistent bore for fittings, wiring runs and pipe passages. The hex shank ensures secure retention in quick-change chucks and impact drivers that accept hex tooling, reducing slip under load. The wide flat blade and flute profile help prevent clogging and maintain cutting speed during continuous use.

Suitable for

• Drilling larger holes in softwood and construction timber
• Creating access holes for electrical cables and plumbing
• Working in plywood, chipboard and laminated boards
• Use with handheld drills and cordless drivers with hex shank chucks

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 30 mm
• Shank type: hexagonal shank (suitable for hex chucks)
• Bit type: spade (flat) drill bit for wood
• Material compatibility: softwood, construction timber, plywood and similar wood-based panels
• Chip evacuation: wide flute for quick removal of wood chips

How to use

Secure the drill bit into a compatible chuck, making sure the hex shank is fully seated. Mark the drilling position and, if needed, clamp the workpiece to prevent movement. Start drilling at low speed to establish the hole and then increase speed as the blade engages. Apply steady, even pressure without forcing the bit; allow the wide flute to clear chips periodically if drilling deep holes. Back the bit out occasionally to remove accumulated debris for cleaner holes and to reduce heat build-up.

Usage recommendations

Use the MODECO spade bit primarily in wood and wood-based materials; avoid using it in metal or masonry. For clean entry and exit surfaces, consider using a sacrificial backing board when drilling through thin or laminated panels. Keep the bit sharp and free of resin build-up for consistent performance; remove pitch with appropriate cleaners and inspect the blade for wear before extended use.
