FAQs
What is the main advantage of stubby auger bits?
The main advantage is their compact size, which makes them ideal for drilling in confined spaces where standard-length bits would not fit.
What types of wood can these bits be used on?
These bits are designed for use on various types of wood, including softwoods and hardwoods.
Can I use these bits with any drill?
Yes, they are compatible with most standard power drills that have a three-jaw chuck, as well as traditional hand braces.
What is the maximum drilling depth?
The overall length of the bits is 120mm, so the practical drilling depth is limited by this length and the space required for the drill body.
How should I maintain the bits?
Clean wood dust off the bits after each use, dry them thoroughly, and store them in the provided aluminium case to prevent rust and damage.
Are these bits suitable for metal or masonry?
No, these bits are specifically designed for drilling into wood only.
Troubleshooting
Bit is not drilling effectively or is slipping
Ensure the bit is securely tightened in the drill chuck. Check that the cutting edges are sharp and free from debris. Confirm you are using the correct drill speed for the material.
Excessive splintering or rough holes
Reduce drill speed and apply steady, consistent pressure. Ensure the bit is sharp. For cleaner entry, consider drilling a pilot hole first.
Bit getting stuck in the wood
Try backing the bit out slightly while maintaining a slow rotation. Ensure the hole is clear of sawdust. Avoid forcing the bit.
