Eagle Cutting Tool SB-WB.500 Spade Drill Bit 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL SB-WB.500 is a 1/2-inch spade drill bit designed for boring clean holes in wood and wood-based materials. With an overall length of 6 inches, it provides the extended reach needed for rough framing, electrical rough-in, and plumbing through-hole applications. The flat spade geometry delivers fast material removal with minimal setup. This bit is installed by electricians, plumbers, and carpenters working in wood-frame construction and remodel projects where quick, accurate through-boring is required.

This spade bit is suited for use in residential and light commercial wood-frame construction. Typical applications include boring through wall plates, floor joists, and studs for conduit, pipe, and cable runs. The 6-inch length allows the bit to reach through standard dimensional lumber and doubled framing members without an extension. It is commonly used during rough-in phases before drywall or finish work begins.

Key Features

• 1/2-inch cutting diameter for standard pipe and conduit rough-in holes
• 6-inch overall length provides extended reach through thick or doubled framing members
• Flat spade geometry allows fast, aggressive wood removal
• Compact and lightweight at 0.1 pounds, reducing fatigue during repetitive boring

Compatibility

Designed as a standard spade drill bit compatible with 3/8-inch and 1/2-inch chuck corded and cordless drills used in wood-frame construction applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by electricians, plumbers, and carpenters during rough-in phases. Ensure the drill is set to a low-to-medium speed for controlled boring and to reduce blowout on the exit side of the workpiece. Back the bit out periodically to clear chips and prevent binding. Always follow applicable codes such as NEC and IPC when determining hole placement relative to framing members.
