Wood Auger Bit Condor CON-DA460-10, ø10 mm x 460 mm, CON-DA460-10

Condor wood auger bit CON-DA460-10 is a spiral drill designed for drilling timber and woodwork with a 10 mm cutting diameter and a 460 mm overall length. Intended for use with hand braces or compatible drills, this auger bit features a threaded flute and screw tip that enable guided entry and efficient chip evacuation during through and deep hole boring in construction and carpentry applications.

Advantages

The spiral design and threaded screw tip provide steady feed and accurate centring while minimising walking at the start of a hole. The long 460 mm overall length allows drilling of deep or through holes without repeated repositioning. The helical flute ensures continuous chip removal, reducing friction and heat buildup for cleaner holes in soft and hard timber. Constructed for use with manual braces or power drills, the bit delivers consistent hole dimensions and straightforward handling for a range of woodworking tasks.

Suitable for

• Drilling through-holes and deep holes in structural timber and beams
• Carpentry and joinery tasks requiring precise 10 mm bores
• Roofing, decking and fence post drilling where long reach is needed
• Use with hand braces, brace-and-bit setups, or compatible power drills

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 10 mm
• Overall length: 460 mm
• Spiral/helical flute for continuous chip removal
• Screw tip for guided entry and steady feed
• Intended material: timber and general woodwork

How to use

Secure the auger bit in a compatible chuck or hand brace, ensuring a firm grip to prevent slippage. Position the screw tip at the desired start point and apply steady pressure to allow the screw to draw the bit into the wood; avoid excessive force. For through holes, drill straight and maintain alignment to keep the 10 mm bore accurate. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear accumulated chips if drilling deep holes with a power drill, and inspect the cutting edges for wear during extended use.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and hearing protection when using power tools. Match drilling speed and feed force to the timber type: slower speeds and controlled feed for hardwoods, faster feed for softwoods. Keep the flute clear of chips to maintain efficient cutting and prevent overheating. For clean exit holes, consider backing the workpiece or finishing from both sides when possible.
