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.
Pro Tip: Always run these at a moderate speed with steady forward pressure and let the screw point do the pulling work, forcing it hard will clog the flutes and overheat the bit.
Used by carpenters, electricians, plumbers and general builders for boring clean holes through timber framing, joists, rafters and sheet materials. Common applications include running cables and pipes through studwork, first fix carpentry, fitting door furniture, and drilling for coach bolts or fixings in structural timber. The 205mm length suits most through-wall and joist drilling tasks on site.
Not suitable for: Not suitable for use in masonry, concrete or metal. Do not use with hammer action engaged on your SDS drill.
Fit the SDS+ shank into your rotary hammer drill and make sure hammer action is switched fully off before you start. Select a moderate speed setting. Position the screw point on your mark and apply steady, even forward pressure as you begin drilling. The point will self-feed into the material.
Clear the flutes regularly on deeper holes by withdrawing the bit slightly as you go. This prevents clogging and keeps the cut clean. On sheet materials like MDF or chipboard, backing the workpiece with scrap timber will reduce breakout on the exit side.
Check that hammer action is switched off on your SDS rotary hammer drill
Insert the SDS+ shank firmly into the drill chuck until it clicks and seats correctly
Mark your drilling position clearly on the workpiece
Position the screw point on the mark and begin drilling at a moderate speed with steady forward pressure
Allow the screw point to self-feed into the material rather than forcing the bit
Withdraw the bit periodically on deeper holes to clear the flutes and prevent clogging
Back sheet materials with scrap timber to reduce breakout on the exit side
Can I use these SDS auger bits with hammer action switched on?
No. Hammer action must be switched off when using auger bits. These are designed for rotary drilling in wood only. Using hammer action will damage the bit and is likely to split or tear the workpiece.
Will these bits work in MDF and chipboard as well as solid timber?
Yes. These bits are suitable for MDF, chipboard, particle board, plywood, and both hard and soft timber. For cleaner exits in sheet materials, back the workpiece with a piece of scrap timber before drilling through.
These auger bits feature an SDS+ shank for direct fitment into rotary hammer drills operating in rotary mode only. The specialist screw-in lead point provides self-feeding action for faster drilling with better positional control. Cutting edges are ground and sharpened for clean entry and reduced breakout. Available in nine diameters from 6mm to 32mm, all at a working length of 205mm.
