MAKITA D-07440 Single Spur Wood Auger Drill Bit, Round Shank, 10x400 mm

MAKITA D-07440 Wood Auger Drill Bit, Single Spur, Round Shank, Size 10x400 mm
This high-quality drill bit from MAKITA, model D-07440, is designed for drilling medium-diameter (10 mm) and very deep (400 mm total length) holes in softwood and hardwood. The bit tip features a screw tip that acts as a center guide and pulls the bit into the wood, allowing fast and effortless drilling without requiring heavy pushing force—a standout feature of auger bits. Additionally, it is a single spur design, meaning it has a sharp spur on only one side of the cutting edge to cut wood fibers at the hole perimeter, producing cleaner and neater holes than standard twist bits. The large single flute efficiently and continuously evacuates large wood chips, reducing clogging. Manufactured from high-quality steel, the drill bit features a round shank compatible with general drill chucks.
