I only use half inch drills but drill smaller holes and then enlarge, especially when using spade bits.
When drilling holes through framing lumber I use my long auger type bits...like the electricians do.

Why on earth would you predrill a hole for a spade bit? Defeats the purpose of using a spade bit. Thats just plain stupid.

If you predrill the hole, then the lead tip can bounce around and totally dick up the hole you're
trying to drill.

Remember, you're talking to a retired janitor.
