How to use

Secure the spade drill bit in a compatible drill chuck rated for the bit diameter. Mark the drilling position and use the pointed tip to locate the start. Apply steady, even pressure while running the drill at appropriate speed for the wood type—moderate speed for hardwoods, higher speed for softwoods. Withdraw the bit occasionally to clear chips if drilling deep holes. Finish the hole by backing the bit out to avoid tear-out on the exit side.

Recommendations

For extended life and cleaner holes, keep the cutting edges sharp and avoid excessive side pressure. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and clamp the workpiece securely before drilling.
