Wood Auger Bit Condor 6 x 230 mm – spiral bit for wood drilling

Condor wood auger bit 6 x 230 mm is a spiral drill designed to produce clean, accurate holes in timber and softwood. The bit combines a 6 mm cutting diameter with a 230 mm overall length, a screw tip for controlled self-feed and a wide flute profile that promotes efficient chip evacuation. It is compatible with manual braces and common power drills when used with appropriate chucks or adaptors, making it suitable for woodworking, joinery and on-site installation tasks.

Advantages

The screw tip provides steady, controlled penetration and reduces walking on the workpiece. The wide spiral flute quickly clears wood chips to prevent clogging and to maintain cutting efficiency. The 230 mm length allows drilling through thicker boards, beams and assembled components while the 6 mm diameter produces consistently sized holes for dowels, pilot holes and fasteners. The steel construction and spiral geometry ensure stable tracking and reliable performance in softwood and many timber varieties.

Suitable for

• Drilling clean pilot holes in softwood and structural timber
• Making holes for dowels and wooden fasteners
• Joinery, furniture assembly and carpentry on construction sites
• Use with manual braces or handheld drills for controlled feed

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 6 mm
• Overall length: 230 mm
• Tip type: screw/self-feeding tip for controlled entry
• Flute type: spiral wide flute for rapid chip removal
• Intended materials: softwood and general timber

How to use

Secure the auger bit in a compatible chuck or brace, making sure it is seated firmly and runout is minimal. Mark the drilling point on the workpiece and position the screw tip on the mark; apply steady axial pressure to engage the self-feeding tip, allowing the bit to draw itself into the wood. Maintain moderate rotational speed when using power drills to avoid overheating and clear chips periodically by withdrawing the bit slightly during drilling. For best results, support the workpiece to prevent tear-out and ensure perpendicular entry when required.

Usage recommendations

Use the Condor 6 x 230 mm auger bit for through-holes and long-reach drilling in timber where clean chip removal and controlled feed are required. Match drill speed and feed pressure to the timber species and thickness; reduce speed in hardwoods and keep the bit sharp for consistent performance.
