Auger Bits – SDS+ Shank

SDS auger bits built for drilling through wood quickly and cleanly. These 205mm bits fit any SDS+ rotary hammer drill and are available in nine sizes from 6mm right up to 32mm, making them a practical choice for joinery, first fix carpentry, and general site work where you need clean through-holes without faffing around with a standard chuck.

The specialist screw-in point pulls the bit into the material as you drill, which speeds up the process and keeps the hole positioned where you want it. Combined with ground and sharpened cutting edges, the result is a clean entry and exit with less breakout than you would get from a flat bit or a poorly made auger. Useful when the finish of the hole actually matters.

Where These SDS Auger Bits Get Used

These bits work particularly well in hard and soft timber, plywood, particle board, MDF, and chipboard. That covers most of what a carpenter or first fix joiner deals with day to day. Drilling out for pipe runs, cabling, or bolts through structural timber are all common jobs. The 205mm length gives you enough reach for most through-wall timber situations without needing an extension.

The SDS+ shank means these drop straight into any standard SDS rotary hammer. One thing to be clear about: hammer action must be switched off before drilling. These are auger bits, not masonry bits. Using them with hammer action engaged will wreck the bit and quite possibly the workpiece too.

Whether you are running cables through joists, boring out door furniture rebates, or drilling through studwork, these SDS auger bits get the job done without making a mess of the material.
