Tempo Communications 34a-3/8 Spade Drill Bit 3/8 X 6 Inch

Product Description

The TEMPO COMMUNICATIONS 34a-3/8 is a self-feeding spade drill bit sized at 3/8 inch diameter and 6 inches in length. The self-feeding tip pulls the bit through material without requiring constant forward pressure, reducing fatigue during extended boring work. Designed for electrical, low-voltage, and plumbing rough-in applications, it bores clean holes through hardwood, softwood, plywood, and drywall. Electricians and low-voltage installers commonly reach for bits like this when running wire through wall cavities, floor joists, and framing members.

This bit is suited for residential and light commercial rough-in work where wire or cable must pass through structural or non-structural framing. The 6-inch length provides enough reach to clear typical 2x4 and 2x6 framing stock in a single pass. It is a practical add-on to any service tech or installer toolkit for cable, conduit, or pipe routing tasks.

Key Features

• Self-feeding tip pulls the bit through material, reducing push force required
• 3/8 inch cutting diameter sized for wire and small cable pass-throughs
• 6-inch overall length for reaching through standard framing members
• Compatible with hardwood, softwood, plywood, and drywall
• Standard hex or round shank fits common drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style boring bit suitable for electrical and low-voltage rough-in drilling through wood framing and drywall substrates.

Installation Notes

This bit is typically used by licensed electricians, low-voltage technicians, and plumbers during rough-in phases. Ensure the drill is set to an appropriate speed for the material being bored, and keep the bit clear of embedded fasteners before drilling. When boring near structural members, follow applicable building codes for minimum edge distances to avoid compromising framing integrity. Wear appropriate eye protection when operating.
