Drill Bit Condor CON-XDS-2314 wood auger 14 x 230 mm

Condor CON-XDS-2314 wood auger 14 x 230 mm is a spiral auger bit designed for drilling clean, deep holes in timber. The bit features a centered screw tip and a helical flute that guide the drill, evacuate chips efficiently and reduce friction during penetration. It is compatible with manual braces and with power drills that accept tapered or round shanks of this style, and is intended for carpentry, joinery and general woodworking tasks where precise through-holes or dowel preparation are required.

Advantages

The spiral design ensures continuous chip removal, minimizing clogging and allowing faster drilling in soft and hard woods. The pointed screw tip provides accurate self-centering and helps pull the bit into the material for steady progress. The shank and flute geometry offer stable guidance in the hole, improving straightness and reducing wobble when used correctly. Overall construction focuses on longevity and consistent hole quality for repeatable joinery work.

Suitable for

• Drilling through-holes in structural and furniture-grade timber
• Preparing dowel and tenon holes for joinery
• Using with hand braces for controlled, low-speed drilling
• Using with compatible portable drills for faster holemaking

Key specifications

• Diameter: 14 mm
• Overall length: 230 mm
• Type: spiral/auger wood bit with screw tip
• Flute: helical for chip evacuation
• Intended material: timber and common wood-based materials
• Drive compatibility: hand braces and drills that accept the bit shank style

How to use

Secure the workpiece to prevent movement and mark the drilling position. If using a power drill, set a moderate speed and apply steady pressure while keeping the drill aligned with the desired axis. If using a hand brace, engage the screw tip into the wood and turn smoothly, allowing the spiral flute to remove chips. Withdraw the bit periodically on long holes to clear accumulated shavings and avoid overheating. For through-holes, back the bit out once the hole is complete to clear remaining material and ensure a clean exit.

Usage recommendations

Choose the appropriate drill speed and feed pressure for the wood species; lower speeds and steady feed reduce burning and bit wear. Keep the bit sharp for best performance and replace it if the screw tip or cutting edges become dulled. Use clamps or supports to secure thin or irregular workpieces to maintain hole accuracy.
