1" NW auger bit

Details

st0095-nw-1

These long bits are designed to drill through several logs at once for making electrical chases, drilling through-bolt chases, drilling truss pieces, stair treads, etc.

• Alloy tool steel center shaft assures extra strength
• Set up for 1/2" drive drill. 1/2" indexed non-slip hea
• Self feed centering point.
• Double spur, double cutters.
• Continuous full length flite for chip removal. (flites come to within approximately 5" of the drill end of the bit)...thus a 40" bit has 35" of flite for moving chips.

Note: Don't expect the full length flites to continue to eject chips unless you occasionally (every few inches), "clear" the hole. i.e. pull the bit out to remove the accumulated chips.

Due to the large flites on these auger bits it may tend to hook the wood slivers on the exit side of the log or timber causing it to screw it's way on through.

This can damage the bit. To avoid this, do not force the bit when exiting. Switch drill motor from forward to reverse a couple of times working the bit in and out to remove wood slivers on the exit side of the hole.

Smaller flites on the 1" diameter may load up. If this happens on any auger bit, the bit must be pulled out to allow it to clean.

All this said...these are top quality, high demand auger bits. Very popular.

Do not force it!

• Due to the long length of some of these bits you can break them if you force them.
• There is no guarantee for bits broken due to excessive force.
• Use only with a low speed, (200-400 rpm), hand held drill.
• Do not use with hammer drill or impact type drill motor
