What Are Auger Bits Used For?
An old style of wood boring bit, the auger drills deep holes across the grain of boards and beams without wandering. Designed for the manually powered bit brace and for a number of boring machines which now exist only as antiques, Jennings auger bits are important to any carpenter who occasionally works away from a constant electrical source. The Irwin auger converts the old design to use in power drills.
