Overview
The Tru-Cut WB.625 wood boring spade bit is a 5/8″ diameter flat-style bit designed for rapid, clean boring in wood materials. Supplied as a lot of 5 bits, this set offers value for contractors, carpenters, and maintenance crews who require multiple bits for continuous drilling operations. The spade design removes material quickly with minimal chatter, making it ideal for production environments and site work where speed and consistency matter.

- Wing tip design — scribes hole perimeter to minimize splintering and tearout
