Supplied as one piece, this spade bit fits standard electric and cordless drills and is intended for straightforward wood-drilling tasks where speed and chip clearance are important.

Advantages

The spade profile provides fast material removal and clear chip ejection, reducing clogging during repetitive drilling. With a 1.3 cm diameter it offers a consistent bore size for jobs that require moderate hole dimensions. Supplied as a single, ready-to-use piece, the bit is compatible with common drill chucks and is compact for easy storage. The simple design facilitates quick positioning and steady drilling when used at the correct speed and pressure.

How to use

Secure the spade bit in the drill chuck and tighten according to the drill manufacturer's instructions. Mark the drilling point on the workpiece and, if needed, start with a pilot mark to prevent walking. Use steady pressure and moderate drill speed suitable for wood to maintain control and reduce splintering. Withdraw the bit periodically on deeper holes to clear chips and avoid overheating. After use, clean wood debris from the paddle and store the bit in a dry place.

Usage recommendations

When drilling, use protective eyewear and follow safe drilling practices. For cleaner exit holes, place scrap backing material under the workpiece or reduce speed as the bit breaks through. Avoid excessive side pressure to prevent bit damage or enlarged holes.
