Drill Bit Condor CON-DA460-6 auger bit for wood 6 x 460 mm

Condor CON-DA460-6 auger bit for wood, 6 x 460 mm, is designed for drilling deep, clean holes in timber. The long shank and auger flute remove chips efficiently and help maintain a straight drilling line. The bit is suitable for both manual braces and power drills with compatible chucks, making it a practical choice for carpentry, joinery and general on-site woodworking tasks where access to deep boreholes is required.

Advantages

The auger geometry ensures continuous chip evacuation and reduces clogging during deep drilling. A sharp screw tip provides precise bite and centering at the start of the hole, while the helical flute offers stable guidance to minimise wandering. The length-to-diameter ratio is optimised for reaching deeper sections of timber without frequent backing out, and the steel construction maintains rigidity for straighter holes under load.

Suitable for

• Drilling deep holes in solid wood and structural timber
• Carpentry and joinery work requiring long-reach boreholes
• Manual drilling with a brace or with power drills that accept long bits
• On-site woodworking and installation tasks (e.g., running cables or dowels through beams)

Key specifications

• Diameter: 6 mm
• Overall length: 460 mm
• Tip type: screw tip for self-starting and centering
• Flute: helical auger flute for efficient chip removal
• Material: hardened steel construction for rigidity during drilling

How to use

Secure the bit in a compatible chuck or fit it into a hand brace, ensuring firm clamping to prevent slipping. Start drilling at low speed to allow the screw tip to engage and center the bit. Apply steady pressure and allow the auger flute to extract chips; withdraw the bit periodically on very deep holes to clear accumulated shavings and reduce heat. For power drills, use moderate speed and consistent feed to avoid bending the long shank.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, clamp the workpiece securely, and select a drill or brace that provides stable support for the long bit. For hardwoods, reduce feed rate and clear chips more frequently. If drilling through treated or abrasive timber, inspect the bit periodically for wear and replace when cutting performance decreases.
