BIT SPADE 8mm [Approx - 5/16 inch]
Spade Bits
Recommended drill speed: 1500 - 2000 RPM Suitable for boring all wood - best suited to soft wood Best used in electric drills - DO NOT USE HAMMER ACTION 6mm hex shank - prevents bit from slipping in chuck Intended for power drill use only The centre point locates the bit and the flat steel on either side cuts away the timber. These bits are used to drill fairly large holes and they provide a flat bottomed hole (with a central point). They are ideal where the head of a screw/bolt needs to be recessed into the timber - always use this bit before drilling the clearance hole for the bolt. Full length of bit is heat-treated. Larger bits require a fairly powerful drill to bore deep holes. Flat wood bits are not really suitable for enlarging an existing hole.
