Discover precision and power in our auger bits collection, featuring renowned brands Alpen and Tork Craft. Crafted for excellence, these bits are essential for woodworking and construction projects.

What are auger bits used for?

Auger, tool (or bit) used with a carpenter's brace or drill (at slow speed) for drilling holes in wood. It looks like a corkscrew and has six parts: screw, spurs, cutting edges, twist, shank, and tang.

Why is an auger bit better than a spade bit?

Due to their unique design, the auger bit can drive wood chips/shavings out of holes more efficiently than spade bits. However, all these advantages depend on the speed of the drill. If you want to finish a drilling job in less time and the smoothness of the hole is not a priority then you can use spade bits.

Do you need to sharpen auger bits?

Auger bits have a cutting spur on the opposite edge of the bit from the main cutting edge. This serves to keep the hole clean and round and allows for easy removal of the waste wood chips by cleanly cutting the wood fibres around the edges of the hole. This tip must also be sharpened regularly.
