Disston Company 301218 6-piece Spade Bit Set Wood Boring

Product Description

The DISSTON COMPANY 301218 is a 6-piece spade bit set designed for wood boring applications in residential and commercial construction, remodeling, and rough-in work. The set includes six standard-length bits measuring 6 inches each, covering diameters of 3/8 inches, 1/2 inches, 5/8 inches, 3/4 inches, 7/8 inches, and 1 inch. Each bit features a quick-change hex shank for fast chuck-free bit swaps and a micro-groove point with cutting edges and extended spurs for faster, cleaner entry through wood. Heat-treated steel construction adds durability under repeated use. Licensed electricians, plumbers, and general contractors routinely use spade bit sets like this for drilling through framing, joists, and studs during rough-in stages.

This set is suited for boring through dimensional lumber, engineered wood, and wood-framed assemblies in both new construction and retrofit scenarios. The range of six diameters covers common rough-in hole sizes needed for running conduit, pipe, cable, or wire through wood framing. The 6-inch standard length works well in open framing where extended reach is not required. The quick-change hex shank is compatible with standard 1/4-inch hex chuck drivers and impact-rated drill drivers, making bit changes fast on the job site.

Installation Notes

Spade bit sets of this type are typically used by electricians, plumbers, and carpenters during rough-in framing stages.

Use appropriate eye protection and secure workpieces before drilling.
