SKU CH-FRG8-XFP4Y

A 23 inch auger bit drills deep, clean holes in thick wood with a self-feeding screw tip and wide flutes for efficient chip removal

  • 1" diameter bores large clean holes in thick timber
  • 23" overall length reaches deep into beams and joists
  • Self-feeding screw tip pulls the bit through wood with minimal effort
  • Wide deep flutes eject chips continuously for smooth drilling
  • High-carbon steel construction resists wear in heavy-duty use

1-Inch by 23-Inch Auger Bit

This auger bit from Drill America is designed for drilling deep, clean holes in wood. Its spiral design with wide, deep flutes efficiently removes wood chips during cutting. The self-feeding screw tip allows precise positioning and pulls the bit through material with minimal force. It is suited for construction and woodworking tasks such as running cables or installing plumbing.

Capacity and Headroom

The 23-inch length provides reach for boring through structural timber, beams, and thick wood materials. High-carbon steel construction delivers strength and durability for continuous drilling in dense stock. The bit runs out when hole depth exceeds its overall length or when the workpiece hardness exceeds the capability of the steel alloy. It is not for buyers who need to drill through metal, masonry, or materials harder than heavy timber.

Proposition 65 Warning

The product carries a California Proposition 65 warning for a chemical known to cause cancer and a chemical known to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. This notice informs users of the regulatory classification attached to the item. No bundled accessories or software are included to alter this status. Workers should follow standard shop hygiene and personal protective equipment practices when handling the bit.

Questions about this item

Will the 1" x 23" Drill America DMS73-4016 auger bit fit the chuck on my older 1/2" drill?

The 1" shank requires a 1" or larger chuck; a standard 1/2" drill chuck will not accept it.

How can I confirm the DMS73-4016 is cutting cleanly after I start drilling?

Look for steady chip ejection through the deep flutes and a smooth, round hole without burning or wandering.

Does the DMS73-4016 package include a pilot drill or extension, or must I buy them separately?

The box contains only the single 1" x 23" auger bit; extensions or pilot drills are sold separately.
