Dewalt Accessories DW1580 Spade Bit 7/8 X 6 Inch

Product Description

The DEWALT ACCESSORIES DW1580 is a 7/8-inch by 6-inch spade bit engineered for demanding drilling applications in wood and wood-composite materials. The full-length, heat-treated shank resists bending and breaking under load, making it well-suited for high-torque tools. The 1/4-inch ball groove hex shank is rated for impact drivers and compatible with standard quick-change chuck systems, eliminating bit slippage during operation. Cutting spurs at the tip produce a clean hole perimeter, while the Extreme Speed Channel clears chips rapidly to maintain cut speed and reduce heat buildup. A built-in hang hole supports organized storage and can double as a wire-pulling aid on the job.

This spade bit is designed for use by electricians, plumbers, carpenters, and deck builders drilling wire-chase and pipe-clearance holes through framing lumber, engineered lumber, and similar materials. The 6-inch overall length provides reach through standard dimensional lumber and double-stud assemblies without requiring an extension. The impact-rated construction makes it a direct fit for cordless impact driver setups common in residential and light commercial rough-in work. Package quantity is 3 bits per pack, providing spares for multi-crew or high-volume installations.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and removed by a licensed electrician, plumber, or carpenter using any 1/4-inch quick-change or standard keyed chuck.

When drilling near existing wiring or plumbing, confirm line locations before proceeding.
