Spade Drill Bit
Eye Protection Strongly Recommended!
Spade or paddle bits cut cleaner and more accurate holes at larger sizes in wood or plywood. The head of the spade bit has a pointed top, to hold the bit firmly in the desired location throughout the cut.
Prepare Before Use
Firmly secure your workpiece with clamps or a vice if it is not structural.
Tool Techniques
Brace the drill from behind to avoid tweaking your wrist with any kickback.
Apply light pressure and high speed to start the hole.
After the bit has plunged into the work material, more pressure may be applied.
Incorrect Use Cases
These tools should only be used for perpendicular holes, not angled entry.
Never use this bit on metal, tile, or glass.
