Tork Craft Auger Bit - 16mm x 460mm - Pouched

The Tork Craft Auger Bit 16mm x 460mm is a purpose-built wood drilling bit for clean, deep holes in timber. With a 16.0mm cutting diameter and a 460mm working length, this long-reach auger drill bit is ideal for tasks like boring through thatch poles to accept threaded rods or any application that needs a straight, deep timber hole. The hex shank gives a secure grip in chucks and quick-change adaptors while helping to prevent slippage under load.

Designed like a forstner-style cutter, the auger bit shaves through wood and clears chips efficiently thanks to its helix and cutting edge geometry. The threaded pilot guide helps pull the bit into the work, reducing the need for excessive feed pressure and improving drilling accuracy. For best results use a low rpm rotary drill with a planetary gearbox, and where suitable, powerful electric rotary drills to speed up repetitive boring.

Supplied pouched for convenient storage and transport, this Tork Craft auger bit is a practical choice for carpenters and builders working with timber. Caution: auger bits can jerk the drill as they bite into wood. Keep the rotary drill steady with both hands to reduce the risk of wrist injury.
