Rawlplug 16mm Auger Drill Bit for Fast, Clean Holes in Timber and Wood-Based Boards

Self-homing entry for accurate positioning:

The threaded cone at the tip of this auger drill bit pulls itself into the material as soon as it contacts the surface, guiding the bit on course until the full hole is drilled. This removes the need to press hard or steady the bit manually at the start of each hole, which is a particular advantage when working overhead or in awkward positions in timber-frame and joinery applications.

Fast chip clearance for consistent drilling speed:

The very wide, deep spiral running along the length of the bit draws a large volume of chippings up and out of the hole as you drill, preventing clogging and maintaining cutting speed through the full 400mm depth. The single-groove coil profile also produces a noticeably cleaner hole wall, which matters when fitting cables, pipework, or fixings that need a snug fit.

Hardened alloy steel with a secure hex shank:

The bit is manufactured from high-quality hardened alloy steel, giving it the toughness needed for repeated use in dense timbers and engineered wood products such as chipboard and OSB. The hexagonal shank engages positively with standard drill chucks and prevents the bit from spinning inside the chuck under load, keeping the drive connection firm throughout the cut.
