Irwin 3041006 Speed Bor Spade Drill Bit 1/2 in 6 Pack

Product Description

The IRWIN 3041006 is a Speed Bor spade drill bit sold in a 6-pack configuration, designed for boring clean holes through wood, engineered lumber, and similar materials. Each bit measures 1/2 inch in cutting diameter with a 1-1/4 inch cutting length, making it well suited for through-hole and shallow boring applications encountered in residential and light commercial construction. Electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians commonly use spade bits when running conduit, pipe, or duct penetrations through wood framing. The 6-pack quantity reduces downtime on multi-hole jobs.

This bit is used in wood-framing applications where trade professionals need to bore consistent-diameter holes for wire runs, pipe penetrations, or duct openings. The 1/2-inch diameter is a common size for low-voltage wiring and small-diameter conduit work. The pack format is practical for crews working multiple rough-in locations on a single job site.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch cutting diameter for consistent hole sizing
• 1-1/4 inch cutting length for shallow and through-framing applications
• 6-pack configuration reduces bit changeouts on multi-hole jobs
• Spade-style geometry suited for boring through wood and engineered lumber
• Compatible with standard drill chucks accepting hex or round shanks

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard corded and cordless drills in residential and light commercial rough-in applications requiring a 1/2-inch bore through wood framing members.

Installation Notes

Spade bits are installed by electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians during rough-in phases. Ensure the drill is set to an appropriate speed for the material being bored to prevent splitting or tear-out. Confirm that no embedded fasteners or structural members are present in the boring path before drilling. Follow applicable local building codes regarding hole placement and sizing in structural framing.
