Irwin Wood Auger Drill Bit

The Irwin IRW10502741 is an 8mm diameter auger drill bit with a 191mm overall length, offering an excellent balance between hole size and versatility for medium-duty woodworking applications. This popular diameter is ideal for cabinet installation, stud work, larger dowel applications and medium-sized fastener holes, making it a workhorse bit for carpenters and joiners. Engineered for all general wood boring, this auger bit delivers superior performance across a wide range of timber types. The single spur cutting edge scribes the circumference of the hole for a smoother quality finish that's ready for immediate fastener installation, whilst the hexagon shank prevents slipping in drill chucks or bit extensions for consistent results. The solid centre provides extra rigidity whilst boring, maintaining straightness even when drilling at awkward angles. The self-feeding screw point provides faster boring in both soft and hard woods, significantly reducing drilling time on larger projects, and the fully hardened body from tip to shank provides extra durability for professional trade use.
