Spade drill bit Yato YT-3253 3.5 cm diameter 1 pc

The Yato YT-3253 spade drill bit 3.5 cm diameter is a single-piece cutting tool designed to bore clean, relatively large holes quickly. Manufactured for general-purpose drilling, this spade bit suits a variety of common materials and is compatible with standard chucks and drill drivers. Its flat paddle-shaped blade concentrates cutting force at the rim and center point to produce controlled hole entry and exit.

Advantages

The spade geometry delivers fast material removal and minimizes clogging during through-hole drilling. A reinforced shank provides secure grip in the drill chuck, reducing slippage under load. The sharpened cutting edges and central point help to center the bit and reduce wandering at the start of a hole. Its single-piece construction improves durability compared with multi-component adapters.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in soft to medium-density woods
• Installing wiring, plumbing, and conduit through timber
• Creating openings for door hardware, vents, and recessed fixtures
• General carpentry and renovation tasks

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 3.5 cm
• Type: spade (paddle) drill bit
• Material: high-strength tool steel (heat-treated)
• Shank style: straight shank for standard chucks
• Quantity: 1 piece

How to use

Secure the spade bit in the drill chuck and tighten firmly. Mark the drilling point and, if needed, create a shallow pilot indent to help the central point locate. Start drilling at low speed to establish the hole, then increase speed as the blade engages the material. Apply steady, moderate pressure; avoid forcing the bit to prevent splintering or overload. For deeper holes, periodically withdraw the bit to clear chips and reduce heat buildup.

Usage recommendations

Use the spade bit primarily in wood and timber-based materials; avoid extended use in masonry, metal, or very hard composites. Wear eye and hearing protection when drilling, and clamp workpieces securely. For cleaner edges on soft or veneered boards, consider backing the workpiece or using masking tape at the exit side.
