Drill Bit Set MILWAUKEE Auger set 8/10/12/14/16/18 x 230 mm

MILWAUKEE Auger set 8/10/12/14/16/18 x 230 mm is a collection of spiral auger bits designed for drilling clean, deep holes in wood and similar materials. Each bit in the set has a working length of 230 mm and diameters of 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18 mm. The spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip removal while the centring screw tip provides stable start and reduced walking when beginning a hole. The set is suitable for use with hand-held drills and drill drivers equipped to accept standard round or hex shanks used with auger bits.

Advantages

The auger geometry ensures effective extraction of chips from deep holes, reducing clogging and heat build-up during continuous drilling. The centring screw tip improves accuracy and reduces the need for pilot holes. Uniform 230 mm length across sizes gives consistent reach for through and deep-hole drilling in beams and timber components. Hard-wearing cutting edges maintain cutting performance over extended use in typical wood-based materials.

Suitable for

• Carpentry: drilling holes in beams, joists and timber framing
• Utility installation: creating runs for cables and pipes through wooden structures
• Construction: making deep, straight holes for fasteners and dowels
• Furniture assembly and joinery: producing accurate boreholes for joinery connections

Key specifications

• Bit diameters: 8 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm, 14 mm, 16 mm, 18 mm
• Working length: 230 mm for each bit
• Bit type: spiral auger bits with screw-point tip
• Material suitability: wood and similar wood-based materials
• Chip evacuation: spiral flute design for efficient chip removal

How to use

Select the correct diameter for the required hole and secure the auger bit in the drill chuck or adaptor appropriate for the bit shank. Position the screw-point on the mark and apply steady pressure while running the drill at a moderate speed to allow the screw tip to pull the bit into the material. Withdraw periodically if drilling very deep holes to clear chips and avoid overheating. After use, clean the flutes of debris and store bits in a dry location to maintain cutting performance.

Usage recommendations

Use cutting lubricant only when specified for the material being drilled. For through-holes in long timber, support both ends where possible to maintain straight drilling. Wear appropriate eye and hand protection and follow the drill manufacturer's guidelines for speed and feed to extend bit life.
