Eagle Cutting Tool SB-WB.562 Spade Drill Bit 9/16 in

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL SB-WB.562 is a long-series spade drill bit designed for boring through wood. With a 9/16 inch cutting diameter and an overall length of 6 inches, this bit handles deeper holes than standard-length spade bits without requiring an extension. The extended shank makes it suitable for drilling through thick lumber, framing members, and rough structural work. Electricians, plumbers, and general contractors reach for long spade bits when running wire or pipe through wall plates, joists, and studs where a shorter bit cannot reach. The flat paddle-style head removes material quickly and cleanly in solid wood and engineered lumber applications.

This spade bit is suited for residential and light commercial construction tasks where a 9/16 inch bore is required through wood substrates. Common applications include rough-in drilling for electrical conduit, plumbing supply lines, and low-voltage cabling. The 6 inch overall length gives the operator clearance to drill through double top plates and thick headers in a single pass. It is a standard single-bit purchase with a minimum order quantity of one, making it a practical add-on for service vans and job-site tool kits.

Key Features

• 9/16 inch cutting diameter for precise bore sizing in wood framing and structural members
• 6 inch overall length allows single-pass drilling through thick plates and headers
• Flat spade head design removes material quickly in solid wood and engineered lumber
• Lightweight at 0.1 pounds, reducing fatigue during repetitive overhead or confined-space drilling
• Single-piece purchase with no minimum quantity requirement beyond one unit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 9/16 inch long-series spade drill bit for use in wood applications. Fits standard drill chucks and quick-change hex-shank systems that accept spade-style bits.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and operated by electricians, plumbers, and general carpenters performing rough-in work. Before drilling, confirm there are no hidden electrical conductors, pipes, or structural fasteners in the drill path. Use appropriate eye and respiratory protection when boring through treated lumber or composite materials. Drilling at controlled speed with steady feed pressure reduces bit deflection and extends cutting edge life.
