Drill Bit Set MODECO MN-61-753 hex shank spade bits for wood 16/20/25 mm

Set of MODECO MN-61-753 spade drill bits for wood with hex shanks in diameters 16 mm, 20 mm and 25 mm. These flat spade bits are designed to drill clean, wide holes through soft and hard wood, plywood, chipboard and similar panel materials. The hexagonal shank enables secure grip in chucks and quick interchange between cordless drills and drill drivers, making the set suitable for routine carpentry and on-site installation work.

Advantages

Hex shanks reduce slippage in the chuck and speed up bit changes, while the spade geometry delivers fast chip removal and efficient penetration in timber. The set covers three common hole sizes used in cabinetmaking, door and window installations, and electrical or plumbing pass-throughs. Constructed for practical workshop and site use, the bits combine ease of use with precise, repeatable hole making.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes for door locks, hardware and fittings
• Cable and pipe pass-throughs in wooden structures
• Creating holes in furniture and cabinet assembly
• General carpentry and joinery tasks

• Diameters included: 16 mm, 20 mm, 25 mm
• Material compatibility: softwood, hardwood, plywood, chipboard and similar wood-based materials

How to use

Select the required diameter from the set, insert the hex shank firmly into the drill chuck and tighten. Mark the drilling position and, if needed, use a centre punch or pilot mark to prevent wandering of the bit tip. Begin drilling at low speed to establish the hole, then increase speed and apply steady pressure while allowing chips to clear. Withdraw the bit periodically for deep holes to remove debris and avoid overheating. Use appropriate personal protective equipment, secure workpieces with clamps, and support thin workpieces to prevent splintering.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use moderate speed and steady feed pressure appropriate to the wood species. When drilling finished surfaces, back the workpiece on a sacrificial board to minimise tear-out. Regularly clear wood chips and inspect the cutting edges; replace bits when worn to maintain hole quality.
