Drill America Carbide Spade Bit
This carbide spade drill bit from Drill America is designed for drilling hard steel such as sheet metal and stainless steel. It suits trade professionals and maintenance teams who need a single cutter for tough ferrous materials. The product is supplied new and ships directly from the manufacturer.
Practical limits of spade drilling
Spade bits remove material with a flat cutting face and lack the flute geometry of twist drills, so chip evacuation is slower in deep holes. They are intended for shallow work in sheet metal and stainless steel rather than thick-section drilling. The California Proposition 65 notice confirms the presence of chemicals known to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Installing and common issues
The bit fits standard drill chucks that accept a 1/8 inch shank, so installation is a simple chuck-and-tighten operation. Common problems include wandering on hard surfaces unless a centre punch mark is used, and overheating if cutting fluid is omitted. Orders of $75 or more ship free from the manufacturer.
