Wood Auger Bit Art-Pol 14 mm × 235 mm for Wood Drilling (model 54364)

The Art-Pol wood auger bit 14 mm × 235 mm is designed for creating clean, deep holes in wood with controlled guidance and efficient chip evacuation. Sized with a 14 mm cutting diameter and a 235 mm overall length, this auger bit is suitable for drilling tasks where straightness and depth are important, whether used with a hand brace, portable drill, or drill press. The spiral flute profile facilitates removal of wood chips to maintain cutting efficiency and reduce binding during extended holes.

Advantages

The auger bit delivers precise, straight holes thanks to its screw-point tip and spiral shaft that stabilize entry and pull the bit through the material. Its geometry supports fast chip transport out of the hole, reducing clogging and improving drilling speed in soft and hardwood. The hardened cutting edge retains sharpness under normal woodworking conditions and the overall length allows reach into deeper joinery or framing applications.

Suitable for

• Drilling through softwoods and most hardwoods for carpentry and joinery
• Creating deep holes for dowels, bolts, and through-bolts in timber construction
• Hand-brace or powered drilling where controlled, straight holes are required
• Repair and renovation work involving timber beams and floorboards

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 14 mm
• Total length: 235 mm
• Type: wood auger bit with spiral flute and screw-point tip
• Material/finish: hardened cutting edges for woodworking use
• Compatible shank: standard round or hex shanks for use in hand braces and drills (verify compatibility with your tool)

How to use

Secure the workpiece to prevent movement and mark the center of the hole. If using a hand brace, engage the screw-point tip to start the hole; if using a powered drill, begin at low speed to avoid walking and increase speed as the bit bites. Apply steady axial pressure while allowing the spiral flute to carry chips out of the hole. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear accumulated chips when drilling deep holes. After use, clean debris from the flutes and inspect the cutting edges for wear.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as eye protection and gloves. Match drilling speed and feed pressure to the wood species: lower speeds for hardwoods and higher speeds for softwoods. For through-holes, back the bit out periodically to clear chips and prevent overheating. Store the auger bit in a dry place to avoid corrosion and maintain cutting performance.
