Wood Auger Bit Art-Pol ARTPOL 32 x 235 mm, wood drilling bit

Art-Pol ARTPOL 32 x 235 mm wood auger bit is a drilling accessory designed for creating clean, deep holes in soft and hard wood. With a 32 mm cutting diameter and a 235 mm overall length, this wood drilling bit delivers sufficient reach for through-holes and extended bores in carpentry, furniture making, joinery and installation tasks. The auger-style flute and screw tip facilitate steady feed and efficient chip removal to produce accurate, well-formed holes when used with a hand brace or a compatible power drill at appropriate speeds.

Advantages

The wood auger bit features a screw-point tip that draws the bit into the material for controlled advance and reduced user effort. Its spiral flute design promotes effective chip extraction, limiting clogging and heat build-up during longer holes. The 32 mm diameter provides a standardized hole size for dowels or pipe passes, while the extended length allows drilling through thick timber or creating deep mortises without repeated retraction. Constructed for woodworking applications, the bit balances cutting performance and durability for routine workshop and site use.

Suitable for

• Carpentry and structural timber drilling
• Furniture making and dowel hole preparation
• Joinery, door and window installation
• On-site installation where long, clean wood holes are required

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 32 mm
• Overall length: 235 mm
• Tip type: screw-point for self-feeding
• Flute type: spiral auger for chip removal
• Suitable materials: softwood and hardwood
• Compatible drives: hand brace and standard drill chucks

How to use

Secure the auger bit firmly in the drill chuck or hand brace, ensuring proper concentric alignment. Position the screw tip at the intended drill location and apply steady, moderate pressure while running the drill at suitable speed for the wood species. Allow the screw-point to pull the bit into the material rather than forcing it. Periodically withdraw the bit during deep drilling to clear chips and prevent binding; for power drills use lower speeds and controlled feed to avoid overheating. After use, clean chips from the flute and store the bit dry to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match drilling speed to wood density: slower speeds for hardwoods and moderate speeds for softwoods. Use a pilot mark or centre punch for precise start positioning, and consider clamping workpieces to prevent movement. Wear eye protection to guard against flying chips and follow the drill manufacturer’s safety guidelines.
