The Irwin 49914 solid center auger bit is a heavy-duty drilling accessory designed for boring in wood. It features a coarse screw point that provides fast boring in both hard and soft woods.
Wide lands keep the bit straight as it bores through the hole. The full-length heat-treated construction guards against bending in heavy-duty applications and strengthens the twist where the greatest strain occurs. The single spur cutting edge scribes the circumference of the hole for a smoother finish. The flutes are ground behind the lands to funnel chips to the inside of the bit and away from the outside diameter, producing a faster, cleaner cut.
Features and Benefits
- Heat-Treated Construction: Full-length heat treatment guards against bending and strengthens the twist where the greatest strain occurs, extending durability in heavy-duty work.
- Wide Lands Design: Keeps the bit straight during boring, preventing deflection and drift for consistent holes.
- Optimized Chip Evacuation: Flutes are ground behind the lands to funnel chips to the inside of the bit and away from the outside diameter, creating faster, cleaner cuts.
- Single Spur Cutting Edge: Scribes the circumference of the hole for a smoother finish.
- Coarse Screw Point: Provides fast boring in hard and soft woods.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.Some examples of these chemicals are: lead from lead-based paints, crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work.To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
