Answer This Question

A:  To be honest I have never tried them on anything but wood,plastic and vinyl

by|Apr 22, 2020

    A:  NO WOOD OR VERY SOFT MATERIALS.

    by|Apr 22, 2020

    A:  No, it is not recommended to be used on manufactured stone.

    by|Aug 22, 2019

      A:  The DSB2009 Spade Bits are designed for drilling into wood and not recommended for manufactured stone. We do offer a natural stone tile bit which may be better suited for your application. We offer a bit set NS2000 which includes 1/8", 3/16", 1/4", and 5/16" diameter bits. For further assistance, contact us at 1-877-BOSCH99 (1-877-267-2499) from Mon-Fri 7A-7P CST.

        A:  Thank you for your question. The DSB2013 Spade Bit delivers outstanding speed through 2x4s by pulling the bit through the wood. For further assistance, contact us at 1-877-BOSCH99 (1-877-267-2499) from Mon-Fri 7A-7P CST.

        by|Dec 13, 2018

          A:  Late answer, and I would say they are too short without an extension--which I would not use. I would suggest a longer bit Bit instead.

          by|Sep 12, 2019

            A:  The bit you chose is only 6" long, so you will not be able to drill down to 10". You would be better served if you choose the Bosch Daredevil 1 in. x 16 in. Spade Bit. Model # DLSB1013 Internet #203274545 Store SKU #726459

            by|Dec 13, 2018

            A:  yes it will, that's the same thing I just got thru doing.

            A:  I don't see why not...they are strong and pretty sharp

            by|Apr 21, 2020

            A:  Thank you for your question. The DSB2013 daredevil bit is designed to drill into 2 X4's wooded material. You may use Forstner bit for a drill press. For further assistance, contact us at 1-877-BOSCH99 (1-877-267-2499) from Mon-Fri 7A-7P CST.

            by|May 5, 2023

              A:  I would not use this in a drill press due to the threaded tip. This pulls the bit down into the material and could make it difficult to control in a press.

                  The Bosch "Daredevil" high carbon steel spade bits give the woodworker a beefy, no-nonsense cutting tool sure to become a standard in the tool chest. They are nicely designed and manufactured. The gimlet point bites quickly, allowing the cutting edges to do the work. Thoughtful and appreciated is the tang and small vertical cutter face at the edge of the bit. These will keep the cut smooth, eliminate "feathers", and keep the bit aligned for a 90 degree cut. I found the drill bits heavier than most. They do not chatter. But the bits seem to do a better job in the low to mid rpm range. I took these bits right out of the package to drill a series of mortise holes in end grain Douglas fir. I did "by eye" to replicate the handwork of a North Jersey Dutch carpenter of the Eighteenth Century. Who typically would have used a beam borer. The bits worked quickly, making clean cuts. After a total of 24 cuts, the Bosch bits were still sharp. They did not heat up. Could have taken more punishment!. They will of course receive a slight sharpening. But overall I was most impressed by their performance. For the electrician, the bits very quickly make accurate cuts through dimensional lumber for running cable! Bosch delivers quality..

                  This bit worked to create the desired hole but does shred the wood some. Bit works best if advanced slowly into the wood. A forstner bit does the same job but with less shredding. See example in photo with this bit result on the left side.

                  I tried using this bit to bore holes through 4x4 pine. I was using a Milwaukee corded drill/hammer drill which I thought would have sufficient torque but it did not. The threaded tip on the bit engages the wood way too hard causing the spade portion to get sucked into the wood and the drill to come to a sudden halt. I thought I was going to burn out the drill motor. I tried drilling pilot holes of various sizes. A 5/16 pilot hole ended up being enough to keep the spade bit centered and prevent the threaded tip from engaging the wood. I also ended up drilling the holes with my drill press to avoid any additional risk of burning out my drill. Long story short... only use these bits if you have a high powered drill or if you have the patience to pre-drill all of your holes.

                  good smooth holes without draining your battery
                  Best spade bits i've used yet (i bought 3 sizes at the same time, only had time to use one but i'm sure the others are the same, just different diameters). Don't forget to drill the pilot hole, and have the drill on the slower speed (fast is too fast for these bits).

                  best spade bit i've used
                  Technically, it's more of an auger bit, but it's marketed as a spade bit. Regardless, it worked much better than the standard spade bits that just have the point. However, don't forget to drill the pilot hole or it won't work as well.

                  The bit would not go deeper than 1/4 “ and get stuck. Me drill is a corded 7amp drill that has a lot of power. When I tried to push it harder, the drill kicked back. I like your 3/4 inch high speed auger bit though.
