Product Information

Full details

The Bosch Spade Self Drilling Drill Bit (350mm x 20mm) is designed for professional carpenters, electricians, and serious DIY enthusiasts who need to bore precise holes in wood with minimal manual effort. Its primary strength lies in the integrated self-feeding thread, which pulls the bit through material efficiently; however, users should be aware that the aggressive self-feeding action can occasionally cause the bit to bind if the power tool lacks sufficient torque control.

FAQs

Can I use this bit in a standard cordless drill?

Yes, as long as your drill has a standard chuck that accommodates a 1/4in hex shank.

Is this bit suitable for drilling through metal-wrapped wood?

No, this bit is designed specifically for wood. Contact with metal will damage the cutting edges.

How deep can this bit drill?

The bit is 350mm in total length, allowing for deep-hole drilling in thick beams and framing members.

Do I need to sharpen the bit?

The bit will eventually dull with heavy use. It can be touched up with a sharpening stone, but do not grind away the self-feeding thread.

Can I use this for boring holes for door locks?

While the 20mm diameter may be too small for standard door lock hardware, it is perfect for smaller bolt holes and wire management.

Troubleshooting

Bit is 'walking' or wandering during the start of the hole.

Ensure you are applying a light, steady pressure initially and have a marked center point. If necessary, use a small punch to create a pilot indentation.

Drill motor stalls or 'kicks back'.

The bit has likely pulled itself through too quickly. Reduce the drilling speed or use a drill with a side handle for better control.

Excessive vibration during deep drilling.

Ensure the bit is firmly seated in the hex chuck. If vibration persists, verify that the drill chuck is tightened correctly and is not loose.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces manual push-force during drilling
  • Excellent chip ejection prevents binding
  • High-quality construction for consistent performance
  • Secure hexagonal shank prevents slippage in the chuck

Cons

  • Requires careful control in lightweight drills
  • Not suitable for drilling into metal or masonry
  • Aggressive pull can be difficult to manage in handheld operation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  • Compatibility: The 1/4in hex shank is designed for use with standard drill/drivers and impact drivers. Ensure your tool's clutch is set appropriately to avoid excessive torque.
  • Setup: Always mark your center point clearly. The self-feeding thread requires a centered start to prevent the bit from wandering during the first few rotations.
  • Maintenance: After use, wipe the bit clean of wood resins and debris. Store in a dry place to prevent rust. If the cutting edge becomes dull, use a fine-grit file or sharpening stone to lightly hone the edges, being careful to maintain the original spade geometry.
