GEKO auger bit for wood 22 x 152 mm HEX shank G37310

GEKO auger bit for wood 22 x 152 mm HEX shank G37310 is a spiral auger-style wood drill designed to cut clean, deep holes in timber and wooden components. The 22 mm cutting diameter and 152 mm overall length provide sufficient reach for common carpentry and joinery tasks, while the HEX shank ensures a secure, slip-resistant connection with compatible drill drivers and hex chucks. This bit is intended for drilling into solid wood, beams, and wooden workpieces where fast chip extraction and straight hole formation are required.

Advantages

The auger design with a threaded lead screw draws the bit into the material, reducing the need for pushing force and enabling steady, controlled drilling. The single-flute spiral efficiently removes chips and reduces clogging during deep-hole drilling. A HEX shank offers improved grip and torque transfer in handheld drills and impact drivers that accept hex tooling, decreasing slippage and increasing rotational stability. The bit’s geometry promotes accurate centring and straighter holes compared with standard twist bits.

Suitable for

• Drilling clean holes in soft and hard wood
• Creating holes for dowels, bolts, and fasteners in carpentry
• Through-holes in beams, joists, and timber framing
• Work with handheld drills and drill drivers equipped with HEX chucks

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 22 mm
• Overall length: 152 mm
• Shank type: HEX shank for secure drive engagement
• Bit type: auger/spiral (auger-style) for efficient chip removal
• Material and finish: suitable for wood drilling (steel construction typical for auger bits)

How to use

Select a drill or driver compatible with HEX shank bits and secure the auger bit in the chuck according to the tool manufacturer’s instructions. Mark the drilling position on the wood and, if accurate depth is required, use a depth stop or mark on the bit. Start drilling at low speed to engage the lead screw, then increase speed and apply steady, moderate pressure; the auger’s threaded point will pull the bit into the material. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear chips when drilling deep holes. Finish by slowing the drill as you complete the hole to avoid tear-out at the exit.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use with a drill that provides consistent speed and torque, and ensure the workpiece is securely clamped. When working with hardwoods or large-diameter holes, drill in stages and clear chips frequently to prevent overheating and binding. Inspect the bit for wear or damage before use and replace if cutting edges are dull to maintain clean hole quality.
