Freud DSP2170-P2 Spade Bit 1-1/2x6 in 2 Pack

Product Description

The FREUD DSP2170-P2 is a two-pack of 1-1/2 inch by 6 inch Speed Demon spade bits designed for fast, clean hole boring in wood. The speed-tip design self-feeds into the workpiece, reducing the effort required compared to traditional spade bits. An optimized curved paddle geometry accelerates chip evacuation, helping maintain cutting speed through repeated holes. The impact-rated shank provides added stability and durability, making these bits compatible with both cordless and corded impact drivers and drill drivers. Licensed electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians boring through wood framing for wire, pipe, or duct runs are the primary installers of this bit.

These spade bits are suited for residential and light commercial rough-in work where 1-1/2 inch holes are required in dimensional lumber, engineered wood, or similar substrates. The 6 inch overall length provides reach through standard framing members without an extension. The two-pack format supports high-volume drilling tasks where a backup bit on the job site reduces downtime. Typical applications include boring holes for electrical conduit, plumbing supply or drain lines, and low-voltage cabling through stud bays and floor joists.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, or other trades requiring framing penetrations. Secure the workpiece before drilling and confirm no utilities are present behind the boring location. Use appropriate eye and hearing protection. Follow applicable NEC, IPC, or IFGC clearance and protection requirements for holes bored near the edge of framing members.
