Dewalt Accessories DW1582 Spade Bit 1 X 6 Inch

Product Description

The DEWALT ACCESSORIES DW1582 is a 1-inch by 6-inch spade bit engineered for fast, clean drilling in wood and similar materials. The full-length shank is heat-treated to resist bends and breaks under heavy-duty use. High-performance cutting spurs along the bit edges produce a cleaner hole finish compared to standard spade bit designs. An Extreme Speed Channel along the body clears chips rapidly, reducing heat buildup and keeping cuts moving. The hex shank prevents bit slippage in the chuck, and a ball groove shank enables quick-change compatibility with standard quick-release chucks. A hang hole at the base supports organized storage and can assist with wire pulling tasks. This bit ships as a 3-piece package, each measured in individual units.

The DW1582 suits residential and light commercial framing, rough-in plumbing, and electrical rough-in work where large-diameter through-holes in wood framing members are required. Electricians and plumbers running conduit, cable, or pipe through studs and joists will find the 6-inch overall length useful for reaching through standard framing without an extension. The 1-inch cutting diameter handles common knockout and pass-through sizing in wood members. The bit is packaged in a quantity of 3, making it a practical addition to a service van or job-box kit.

Installation Notes

Installation of this bit is performed by electricians, plumbers, and carpenters during rough-in phases of construction. Ensure the drill is powered off and the trigger is locked before inserting or removing the bit from the chuck. Confirm the bit is fully seated and secured before drilling. Maintain firm, steady pressure when drilling through framing to avoid deflection and protect the shank.
