Dewalt Accessories DW1586 Spade Bit 1-1/2x6 Inches 3-pack

Product Description

The DEWALT ACCESSORIES DW1586 is a 1-1/2-inch by 6-inch spade bit designed for fast, clean wood boring in rough-in and finish applications. The full-length shank is heat-treated to resist bending and breaking under heavy use. High-performance cutting spurs score the perimeter of the hole before the center point advances, reducing tear-out and improving hole quality. An Extreme Speed Channel along the bit body evacuates chips rapidly, keeping the cut clear and reducing heat buildup. This bit ships in a pack of three, making it practical for crews running multiple tools or staging backup bits on a job.

This bit is suited for electricians, plumbers, and HVAC installers drilling wood framing, plates, and joists during rough-in work. The 6-inch overall length gives enough reach for single-pass drilling through standard dimensional lumber. The ball-groove shank supports quick-change chuck systems, and the hex shank profile locks into conventional 3-jaw chucks to prevent cam-out during high-torque drilling. A hang hole at the top of the shank allows the bit to be stored on a pegboard or threaded onto a wire pull.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use spade bit compatible with standard 3-jaw and quick-change drill chucks accepting a hex shank profile.

Installation Notes

Electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians are the typical installers for this bit type during structural rough-in drilling. Ensure the drill is powered off and the chuck is fully tightened before beginning any bore. Use appropriate speed settings for the material being drilled — lower RPM reduces burning in dense hardwoods. Always confirm that no utilities are present in the drilling path before advancing the bit through wall or floor assemblies.
