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.

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.
