Factory
1. Expert Quality, manufactured from 45#special carbon steel hardened and tempered.
2. Full-length heat treatment guards against bending bit in heavy-duty applications.
3. The precision ground central point with optimized design for faster cutting performance.
4. Hex shank provides better chuck grip and reduces slippage.
5. Designed to perform fast, clean cuts, will bore all types of timber and are equally efficient when drilling with or against the grain.
6. Hang hole allows for bit storage & wire pulling.
How to Use:
■ Follow carefully the instructions given in the machine handbook.
■ Never fit a diamond dish/cup wheel which is too loose or too tight on the flange.
■ Tighten only with the tool supplied with the machine.
■ Ensure the wheel is properly gripped to prevent slippage, but do not tighten with excessive force. Never use a hammer.
■ Keep flanges and screw threads clean and free of burrs and rust.
■ Replace distorted or damaged flanges before fitting the wheel.
For your Safety:
We recommends the use of following personal protective equipment:
■ Eye protection
■ Ear protection (ear sets)
■ Hand protection (gloves)
■ Lung protection (dust mask, also called respirator)
Important Note:
Never remove the protective machine guard and make sure it is properly adjusted to deflect debris away from you.
Ensure that no other person is at risk, especially near the machine while working.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a Spade Bit?
A: A spade bit, frequently referred to as a “paddle bit,” is a flat-bladed wood-boring tool characterized by a sharp centering pilot and two cutting shoulders. Unlike traditional spiral bits, the spade bit utilizes a thin, flat geometry to displace material rapidly. It is the industry standard for professionals who require a cost-effective solution for boring large-diameter holes in timber.
Q: What is a Spade Drill Bit Used For?
A: Spade bits are primarily used for “rough-in” work where speed is more important than the aesthetic finish of the hole. They are exceptionally efficient for boring holes through studs and joists to accommodate electrical conduit, PVC piping, or heavy-duty fasteners. Because they remove material quickly, they are a staple in construction and framing sectors.
Q: How to Use Spade Drill Bit?
A: To achieve the best results, secure the bit into a high-speed power drill. Place the pilot point exactly on your center mark and begin drilling at a high RPM with steady, axial pressure. To avoid “blowout” (splintering) when the bit exits the back of the wood, stop drilling as soon as the pilot tip breaks through, then flip the workpiece and finish the hole from the opposite side.
Q: How to Sharpen Spade Wood Drill Bits?
A: One of the main advantages of spade bits is their ease of maintenance. You can restore the cutting edge using a fine-tooth mill file or a bench grinder. Focus on filing the top cutting shoulders and the vertical spurs, ensuring you maintain the original factory angles. It is vital to remove an equal amount of material from both sides to keep the bit balanced; an unbalanced bit will cause heavy vibration and “chatter.”
Q: Can I Use Spade Drill Bit on Wood?
A: Yes, spade bits are specifically and exclusively engineered for use on wood, including softwoods, hardwoods, and wood composites like MDF or plywood. Their design is optimized for the fiber structure of timber. Note that they should never be used on metal, masonry, or glass, as the high-speed impact will immediately damage the cutting spurs.
Q: Which is Better for Drilling Wood Spade or Drill Bits?
A: The “better” tool depends entirely on your project requirements:
Spade Bits are superior for speed, large-diameter holes (up to 38mm or 1-1/2″), and affordability. They are the best choice for construction where the hole will be hidden behind a wall.
Twist or Brad Point Bits are superior for precision, depth control, and producing a clean, splinter-free finish. These are preferred for cabinetry, furniture making, and fine woodworking where aesthetics are critical.
