Auger bits are specialist wood drill bits designed for particularly deep, clean holes in solid wood. They are used mainly in timber construction, carpentry and installation work wherever long, straight holes with high precision are required.
A characteristic feature of an auger bit is its self-feeding screw tip. This pulls the bit into the wood and ensures a steady feed with little effort. The pronounced spiral flute efficiently clears chips from the hole, preventing clogging and ensuring smooth progress. Many models have a hex shank, which provides a secure hold in the drill chuck or in powerful drilling machines.
