Bosch EXPERT Self Cut Speed Spade Bit - 32mm

This spade bit is designed for drilling in various types of wood, including softwoods, hardwoods, and engineered wood products like plywood and particleboard.

While the bit has an impact-rated shank for use with impact drivers, it is not designed for the percussive hammering action of a hammer drill. Use it in standard drill or impact driver mode only.

The threaded tip engages with the wood fibers and pulls the bit forward into the material as it rotates, significantly reducing the need for the user to push the drill.

The wave shape is an optimized profile that facilitates rapid ejection of wood chips, preventing the bit from clogging and allowing for faster drilling speeds.

No, this spade bit is specifically designed and optimized for drilling holes in wood only.

After use, brush or wipe away any wood dust and debris from the bit. A dry cloth is usually sufficient. Store it in a dry place.

The EXPERT Self Cut Speed spade bit features a self-feeding thread for easier penetration and a wave-shaped spade for faster chip removal, resulting in significantly quicker and more effortless drilling compared to standard spade bits.

Ensure the drill is rotating in the correct forward direction. Check that the self-feeding thread is not clogged with debris; clean it thoroughly. Apply steady, consistent pressure; excessive force can sometimes hinder the self-feeding action.

Ensure wood chips are being cleared effectively. If the hole is deep, periodically retract the bit to clear accumulated dust and chips. Verify the drill's speed setting is appropriate for the wood density and bit size. Check for any damage to the cutting edges or the wave spade.

Ensure the 1/4" hex shank is fully inserted into the chuck. Tighten the chuck securely. If the issue persists, check the drill chuck for wear or damage.
