Spade Drill Bits

A spade drill bit is a special kind of drill bit used for drilling wide holes into wood at a high rpm. Typically, these holes are needed for cables or pipes. A spade drill bit is also referred to as a flat wood drill bit. Since these drill bits require a high rpm, you will always need to use them with an electric drill. If you want to drill deep holes, for instance when drilling through a hollow wall, you can opt for an extension piece.

Wovar offers individual spade drill bits as well as spade bit sets. Our drill bit sets have the same high quality as the individual spade bits. These flat bits are best suited for drilling into softwood, such as pine. For drilling holes in hardwood, we recommend using hardwood drill bits or auger drill bits. For drilling small holes in softwood, pick our wood drill bits.

The Wovar spade drill bit is made of very hard metal and is slightly thicker than spade bits from other brands. This ensures a longer lifespan and makes the Wovar spade drill extra strong. The spade bits also contain 3 cutting surfaces. This speeds up the drilling and creates smooth edges without burrs. In short, the Wovar spade drill bits are of solid, reliable German quality. The parabolic shape ensures that the sawdust can be easily removed.

How do you use a spade drill bit?

With a spade drill bit, also known as flat wood drill bits, you can drill fairly large holes in wood quickly and easily. The holes are often quite smooth and straight. To keep the holes round and straight, the following drilling technique is recommended. First, drill halfway into the wood until the tip has gone all the way through the wood. At this point, continue drilling on the other side of the wood. Insert the tip of the spade bit into the hole you just created for it. Next, drill until the hole is completed. Drilling with a flat bit takes a lot of power. Therefore, always use a drill with a high speed.
