![]() Wood auger bits and Wood drill bits are different names for the same thing for those not in the know. NOTE: And another handy tip: drilling end grain, such as down the center of a post for it’s entire length is not a good use for a auger bit…the feed screw has trouble getting a bite in the pithy center wood…and the pitchy center can load the feed screw and cutter area with sticky wood…nothing to do at that point but remove the auger bit from the hole and get to cleaning all the pitch off the screw threads and cutter. ![]() Regular ‘cleaning’ of the hole helps reduce the possibility of this happening. NOTE: Here’s a handy tip: Did you get the long auger bit stuck? It’s best to ‘unstick’ by using a pipe wrench rather than the drill. Each Makita magnetic drill bit holder can hold up to 5 bits allowing for quick access to your most common drill bits. KEEP YOUR BITS ON YOUR TOOL: Our Makita Bit Holders comes in a pack of 2. Wood Auger Bits are for applications such as log homes, timber frames, wooden bridge repairs, arbor work & tree repair, railroad ties, landscape contracting, dock building, bulkheads, remodeling/renovation, piles, manufacturing, and post & beam construction. It will keep your bits together, organized and on your Impact Driver to avoid losing track of them. We stock several types…Irwin, NW, Eliminator, Penetrator, Chasen…in lengths up to 60″” and widths from 1/2″ to 1-1/2″ (depending on the brand).Īuger bits, such as Irwin and particularly NW have a sharp (and sharpenable) cutter that ‘cuts’ the wood as it drills, whereas, if you take a look at a carbide cutter you’ll see it’s more of a ‘rip and push’ (if you can explain it better, let us know, I can’t). And clamp the metal you are drilling if at all possible.Long Woodboring Auger Bits are a specialty of ours. Safety should always be the primary consideration when drilling any material. A good drilling lubricant will reduce friction between the drill bit and the metal and this will minimise heat build up. Built to hold up to 5 RYOBI accessory kits, the DOCKit tray will hold 80 of RYOBI accessory. ![]() Save time and frustration from digging through all your loose bits when you dock your RYOBI accessory cases on the DOCKit tray. With an HD display, up to 35000 RPM of torque, and smart on/off and volt-switching functions. Lubrication is vital in keeping temperature down. RYOBI introduces the new DOCKit accessory kit storage system with this 56-piece drilling and driving kit. Includes a drill bit storage cover and desktop charging dock. Reduced pressureĪpplying excessive pressure is another way to increase heat build up and therefore should be avoided. Recommended drilling speed for aluminium varies between 200 and 300 rpm. Choose correct drilling speed.īecause drilling at a high speed will encourage heat build up it is important to monitor drilling speed and drill slower. The cobalt drill bit will dissipate heat quicker and ultimately assist in reducing heat build up. However because of the low melting point of aluminium a better choice would be to use a cobalt drill bit. Otherwise the melting aluminum will stick to the drill bit.Īluminum is a soft metal and therefore a standard HSS drill bit will be able to drill into it. To give some perspective Stainless Steel has a melting point of 1510 deg C.īecause of its low melting point it is very important to reduce as much as possible heat build up when drilling. Drilling Aluminum should not cause any problems if you follow some simple rules.Īluminum is a soft metal with a low melting point of 660 degrees C.
