49916 Solid Center Auger Bit, 1-in., 7-1/2-in. Oal

The Irwin 49916 is a full-length heat-treated auger bit designed for boring holes in wood with exceptional rigidity and control. Its wide lands keep the bit straight as it bores through the hole, while the optimized flute design delivers fast, clean cuts through both hard and soft woods.

This auger bit solves common drilling problems: chips that clog the hole, bits that wander off-center, and slow feed rates. The coarse screw point and ground flutes work together to deliver rapid boring action and cleaner results, while the single spur cutting edge ensures smooth circumference scribing for a professional finish.

Features and Benefits

• Wide Lands: Stabilize the drill path and keep the bit straight as it bores, reducing deflection and improving hole accuracy.
• Ground Flutes: Positioned behind the lands to funnel chips away from the cutting edge and toward the bit's center, promoting faster, cleaner cuts.
• Single Spur Cutting Edge: Scribes the hole's circumference for a smooth finish.
• Coarse Screw Point: Delivers rapid feed rates in both hard and soft woods for efficient boring.
• Full-Length Heat Treatment: Strengthens the twist where strain is greatest and guards against bending under heavy-duty use.
