Auger Bit Art-Pol 10 mm × 600 mm for Wood (model 54460)

Art-Pol auger bit 10 mm × 600 mm for Wood is designed to drill straight, deep holes in timber and wooden constructions. The 10 mm cutting diameter and 600 mm overall length allow access into thick beams and structural elements, while the screw point provides steady forward feed and accurate centring. A spiral flute clears chips efficiently to maintain consistent drilling performance with handheld drills and brace tools.

Advantages

The auger bit combines a piercing screw tip with a well-formed spiral flute to ensure fast penetration and reliable chip evacuation. Its long 600 mm length enables drilling through thick workpieces and hard-to-reach areas without the need for extensions. The 10 mm diameter is suitable for dowels and through-holes in joinery and construction, and the geometry is tailored to reduce walking and improve hole straightness when used with typical wood-drilling equipment.

Suitable for

• Drilling deep through-holes in beams and joists
• Making dowel holes in furniture and cabinetry
• Creating pilot holes for large screws and bolts in timber construction
• Working in timber framing and joinery with handheld drills or brace tools

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 10 mm
• Overall length: 600 mm
• Tip type: screw (self-feeding) point for steady advancement
• Flute type: single spiral flute for efficient chip removal
• Material: hardened steel suitable for wood drilling

How to use

Mark the drilling point and secure the workpiece to prevent movement. Start drilling at low speed to allow the screw tip to engage accurately, then increase speed as the bit advances. Keep the drill aligned with the intended axis to maintain straightness of the hole. Withdraw the bit periodically if chips accumulate or when drilling long distances to clear debris and reduce friction. Use appropriate protective equipment such as eye protection and gloves when operating power or hand tools.

Usage recommendations

For best results when drilling deep holes in softwoods and hardwoods, use steady feed pressure and moderate rotational speed. If excessive heat or binding occurs, retract to clear chips and allow cooling. When precise hole position is required, start with a small pilot mark or center punch before using the auger bit.
