Product Information
Full details
The Bosch Professional Adjustable Spade Bit is a versatile drilling solution for carpenters, contractors, and DIY enthusiasts who need to bore multiple hole sizes without constantly swapping tools. Its standout feature is the integrated adjustment mechanism that scales from 15mm to 45mm, providing immense flexibility for varied projects in soft and medium-hard woods. While it excels at efficiency, users should note it is designed specifically for standard drilling tasks and may require a steady hand to maintain precision during initial engagement in harder materials.

FAQs
Can I use this on masonry?
No, this bit is designed specifically for wood and light building materials. It will be damaged if used on brick or concrete.
What is the maximum diameter this bit can drill?
The bit is adjustable up to a maximum diameter of 45mm.
Does this fit in an SDS-plus chuck?
No, this bit features a standard cylindrical shank intended for use with three-jaw drill chucks.
How do I ensure the hole is the exact size I need?
We recommend testing the adjustment on a scrap piece of wood before drilling into your final workpiece to verify the diameter.
Is the blade replaceable?
The blade is a fixed component of the assembly. If damaged, the entire unit should be inspected for structural integrity.
Troubleshooting
Bit shifts size during drilling
Ensure the locking mechanism is fully tightened before engagement.
Excessive splintering at exit
Reduce drill speed as you near the exit of the material, or place a sacrificial piece of wood behind the workpiece.
The bit binds in the wood
Check that you are not applying too much forward pressure; let the screw point pull the bit through the wood.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Bosch Professional Adjustable Spade Bit is compatible with standard corded and cordless drills equipped with a three-jaw chuck.
- Setup: Loosen the locking mechanism, slide the blade to the desired diameter mark, and re-tighten the lock securely before starting the drill.
- Compatibility: Best utilized in softwood, hardwood, wood panels, and light building materials.
- Care: After use, wipe the blade clean of wood shavings and debris. Inspect the screw point and cutting edge for any chips. If the blade feels dull, use a fine file to touch up the edge, taking care to maintain the original geometry. Store in a dry environment to prevent corrosion.
