Drill bit STANLEY Spade drill bit Ø 20 mm, 1 pc

STANLEY Spade drill bit Ø 20 mm, 1 pc is a flat spade-style wood bit designed to produce clean through-holes in timber and other soft materials. The 20 mm cutting diameter provides a larger opening for running cables, pipes or fasteners and is compatible with standard hand and power drills. The bit's flat profile and sharpened cutting edges are intended to remove material quickly while maintaining a straight drilling line.

Advantages

The spade geometry offers fast chip removal and efficient cutting for larger-diameter holes. Its simple, rigid construction ensures stable drilling with reduced walking when properly centered. The 20 mm diameter is a practical size for many carpentry, electrical and plumbing tasks that require a single larger hole without the need for step bits or hole saws.

Suitable for

• Drilling through softwoods and hardwoods for cable routing
• Creating openings for plumbing runs and pipe passage
• Making holes for door hardware, fasteners and mounting
• General carpentry and construction site tasks requiring larger holes

Key specifications

• Type: Spade (flat) drill bit
• Cutting diameter: 20 mm
• Intended materials: Wood and other soft materials
• Quantity: 1 piece
• Shank type: Standard straight shank for use in drill chucks

How to use

Secure the spade drill bit in the drill chuck, ensuring it is tightened concentrically. Mark the drilling point on the workpiece and, if precise positioning is required, create a small pilot indentation with an awl or punch. Start drilling at low speed to establish the point and then increase speed as the bit engages the material. Apply steady, moderate pressure and withdraw the bit periodically to clear chips when drilling deep holes. Support the workpiece to prevent splintering on the far side.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection and hearing protection when operating power tools. For cleaner exit holes, place a sacrificial backing board behind the workpiece or reduce speed before breakthrough. Avoid using the spade bit in materials harder than wood to prevent excessive wear or damage.
