MAKITA D-07294 Single Spur Wood Auger Bit Round Shank 18x200 mm

MAKITA D-07294 Single Spur Wood Auger Bit Round Shank 18x200 mm.
The MAKITA D-07294 bit is a single spur auger bit (also known as Douglas & Irwin bits in some regions) specially designed for deep hole drilling in woodworking. Suitable for drilling softwood and hardwood, it features a distinctive threaded screw point that automatically pulls the bit into the wood, requiring less feed pressure from the user and increasing drilling speed.This drill bit is designed with a pre-cutter and main cutting edge that deliver clean and accurate holes. The large flute helps efficiently eject wood chips from the hole throughout its working length. The shank is a 1/4" hex shank or possibly a 10.5 mm round/straight shank, which ensures a secure grip in the drill chuck without easy slipping.
