Twist Wood Drill Bit GEKO G37352 6 x 230 mm – wood auger / spiral drill

The Twist Wood Drill Bit GEKO G37352 6 x 230 mm is a spiral auger designed for drilling clean holes in wooden workpieces. With a 6 mm cutting diameter and a 230 mm overall length, this twist wood drill bit is suitable for through-holes and deeper drilling tasks in both softwoods and many hardwoods. The spiral flute design evacuates wood chips efficiently, helping maintain cutting performance during use with handheld drills and drill presses.

Advantages

This wood auger / spiral drill offers precise 6 mm diameter holes with consistent straightness thanks to its twist geometry. The long 230 mm length allows for drilling through thicker boards or creating deep recesses without frequent bit changes. Its spiral flutes provide effective chip removal and reduce clogging, while the solid construction ensures reliable operation in common carpentry and joinery tasks.

Suitable for

• Drilling through-holes in furniture panels and timber
• Creating pilot holes for screws and dowels in carpentry work
• Drilling deep holes in shelving, framing, and joinery
• Use with handheld electric drills and bench drill presses

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 6 mm
• Overall length: 230 mm
• Bit type: twist / spiral (auger) for wood
• Intended material: softwood and hardwood
• Compatibility: standard drill chucks on handheld drills and drill presses

How to use

Select an appropriate drilling speed for the wood species and secure the workpiece before starting. Fit the twist wood drill bit into the drill chuck and tighten firmly. Begin drilling with steady pressure, keeping the drill axis aligned to ensure a straight hole. Retract the bit periodically on deep holes to clear chips if necessary; the spiral flute aids chip evacuation. After use, clean off wood debris and store the bit dry to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use moderate speed when drilling hardwoods and higher speed for softwoods, and always clamp small or thin workpieces to prevent movement. Regularly clear chips during deep drilling and inspect the cutting edges for wear to maintain hole quality.
