Spade drill bits, also known as paddle bits, are designed for quickly drilling large-diameter holes in wood and similar soft materials. Their flat, paddle-shaped blade features sharp cutting edges and a central point for accurate positioning, allowing them to bore through timber with speed and efficiency.
Ideal for tasks such as running electrical cables, installing plumbing pipes, or creating clearance holes, spade drill bits are commonly used in construction, carpentry, and DIY projects. They are effective in both softwoods and hardwoods, delivering fast hole creation where precision to the millimetre is less critical than speed.
Available in a wide range of sizes, spade drill bits can be used with standard drills or impact drivers (with the correct shank type) and are a cost-effective solution for rapid wood drilling applications.
