When it may not be suitable

This drill bit is specifically optimized for wood and wood-based materials. It is not suitable for drilling into metal, masonry, concrete, or stone, as these materials will cause rapid dulling or damage to the cutting edges.

Key specifications

• Total length: 400 mm
• Material: High-quality hardened steel
• Tip type: Self-feeding screw point

How to use

To use the Högert Technik wood auger, insert the shank securely into the chuck of your power drill or drill press. Position the screw tip at the desired center mark and begin drilling at a moderate speed. Allow the screw tip to pull the bit into the wood naturally without applying excessive downward pressure. Maintain a steady, perpendicular angle to ensure a straight hole, and periodically retract the bit to clear wood shavings if drilling to the full 400 mm depth.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your drill chuck is compatible with the shank size of the bit.
• Verify that your power tool has sufficient torque for a 20 mm diameter bit.
• Check the required drilling depth to ensure the 400 mm length is adequate for your project.

Usage recommendations

Always wear appropriate eye protection when drilling. Keep the drill bit clean and store it in a dry place to prevent corrosion. Avoid hitting nails or metal fasteners embedded in the wood to maintain the sharpness of the cutting edges.
