Frequently Asked Questions

Their flat blade design removes material aggressively, allowing rapid drilling through timber compared to twist or auger bits.

Tear-out usually happens from excessive speed or pressure, especially on exit — easing off before breakthrough improves finish quality.

Use spade bits for fast, high-volume timber drilling where speed matters. Auger bits suit cleaner deep holes, while hole saws are better for large diameters.

Yes, but correct speed & steady feed pressure are critical — running too fast generates heat & can burn the timber.

They are ideal for rough-ins & service holes. For fine joinery or precision work, other bit types provide tighter tolerances.

Use consistent pressure, keep the drill aligned & avoid forcing the cut — letting the bit do the work reduces wandering & improves hole quality.
