Bosch EXPERT Self Cut Speed Spade Bit - 20mm x 152mm

This bit is specifically designed for fast and efficient drilling in all types of softwood. It is not suitable for hardwood.

The threaded tip actively pulls the bit into the wood with minimal user pressure, making drilling easier and faster, especially in difficult angles or overhead situations.

Yes, the 1/4" hex shank is impact-rated, making it suitable and durable for use with both standard drill drivers and impact drivers.

The combination of the self-feeding threaded tip and the wave-shaped spade design, which optimizes chip removal, allows for significantly higher drilling speeds, up to three times faster than conventional bits.

The wave shape is engineered to efficiently clear wood chips away from the cutting area as you drill. This prevents clogging, maintains cutting efficiency, and contributes to the faster drilling speed.

Yes, it is ideal for creating through holes for cables, pipes, and other hardware installations in softwood.

After use, clean off any wood debris and store the bit in a dry environment. Regularly inspect the cutting edges and tip for wear or damage.

Ensure you are drilling into softwood. Verify the drill is rotating clockwise. Check that the threaded tip is not damaged or excessively worn. Apply consistent, light pressure; the self-feeding tip should do most of the work.

Confirm you are using the bit in softwood. Clear chips from the hole periodically. Ensure the drill speed is appropriate for the material and bit size. The wave-shaped spade is designed for chip removal, but very wet or gummy wood may require clearing.

Ensure the 1/4" hex shank is clean and dry. Securely tighten the drill chuck. If using an impact driver, ensure the quick-release chuck mechanism is functioning correctly.
