Bosch 15/16 spade bit DSB1012 Daredevil

Bosch 15/16 Spade Bit For Fast Wood Boring

Bosch 15/16 spade bit is a spade bit from the Daredevil line designed for boring and drilling. The 15/16 inch diameter sizing creates a hole that matches that cut size, which helps when running consistent bores across studs or framing. The spade bit design focuses cutting at the tip and paddle, so the bit clears material quickly while maintaining its hole size. As a Bosch spade bit in the Bits, Blades and Cutters - Boring and Drilling class, it works as a standard drilling tool where a flat-bottom style wood hole is needed. The stated spade bit identity keeps it in a familiar format for anyone already using flat wood boring bits. The branded Daredevil designation distinguishes this model inside a professional-grade family, which matters when a shop wants matching performance across multiple hole sizes.

Key Daredevil Spade Bit Details For Pros

• The spur and reamer design provides cleaner holes by scoring and trimming the edge as it cuts, which reduces breakout around the perimeter and gives a neater finish when the hole is visible.
• The contoured paddle shape moves chips away from the cutting edge faster, so the bit spends more time cutting than clearing, which helps maintain drilling speed through thicker material.
• The hex shank with power groove reduces slippage in the drill chuck, which helps keep drive engagement under higher torque and reduces time spent re-tightening the chuck during repetitive boring.
• The full-cone threaded tip pulls the bit into the material for fast and effortless drilling, so the operator applies less forward pressure while still maintaining a steady feed rate.
• The 6 inch overall length gives reach for standard framing and woodworking thicknesses, so the bit can pass through common stock depths in a single pass where 6 inch length is appropriate.

Spade Bit Fit, Shank Hold, And Drilling Feel

The hex shank with power groove is shaped for a strong grip in compatible drill chucks, which helps the bit transmit torque without twisting inside the chuck during heavy boring. This shank style benefits repetitive tasks where slipping would slow work or mar the shank surface. The full-cone threaded tip at the front pulls the spade bit forward as soon as it engages, reducing the manual feed force needed from the operator. That pulling action helps maintain a straighter path because the bit stays engaged in its own lead thread. With a 6 inch overall length, the bit spans deeper stock while still staying manageable in a handheld drill, which supports controlled drilling in typical construction and shop setups. The 15/16 inch cutting diameter then produces a consistent, repeatable hole size whenever that dimension is specified on the job.

Using The DSB1012 Spade Bit In Daily Work

Where This Bosch DSB1012 Spade Bit Performs

This Bosch Daredevil spade bit with 15/16 inch diameter fits boring and drilling jobs where that specific hole size is required in wood-type materials. The spur and reamer at the cutting edge prepare and clean the hole walls, which is useful when openings need a more precise perimeter to accept fittings sized around 15/16 inch. On through-holes, the cleaner cutting action helps reduce tear-out at entry and exit, which is important when the drilled face remains exposed. The contoured paddle pushes chips away from the center as it advances, helping the bit stay engaged instead of riding on compacted debris. With 6 inch overall length, the bit reaches across standard framing thicknesses or stacked material within that depth range, supporting many common boring layouts.

Details That Support Clean, Repeatable Drilling

The full-cone threaded tip at the front of this Bosch 15/16 spade bit draws the tool into the cut, establishing the path as soon as the tip bites into the surface. That pulling action pairs with the contoured paddle, which channels chips out of the hole, so the cutting edge works in a cleared path and keeps drilling speed more consistent. The spur and reamer surrounding the main edge score the circumference before material is removed, producing a hole wall that is cleaner and more uniform around the full 15/16 inch profile. This can help mating parts fit closer to their intended tolerance where the 15/16 inch bore is part of an assembly. The hex shank with power groove transmits torque from the drill to the bit, limiting rotation between the two under load, which supports steady feeding without mid-hole slippage.
