Dewalt DW1676 Short Power Ship Auger Bit 1-1/2 in

Product Description

The DEWALT DW1676 is a short power ship auger bit designed for boring large-diameter holes through wood framing, beams, and structural lumber. Built for use with a heavy-duty corded or cordless drill, this bit produces a clean, fast bore with a 1.5-inch cutting diameter. The short body length makes it easier to work in confined spaces where a full-length auger cannot maneuver freely. Electricians, plumbers, and framing carpenters commonly use ship auger bits when running conduit, pipe, or cable through joists and wall plates.

This bit suits residential and light commercial rough-in work where large holes must be bored through dimensional lumber quickly. Its short-body design is especially useful in tight framing cavities, between floor joists, and in stud bays where clearance behind the drill is limited. The 1.5-inch diameter accommodates standard pipe and conduit runs common in mechanical and electrical rough-in installations.

Key Features

• 1.5-inch cutting diameter for large-bore applications in framing lumber
• Short body design allows use in restricted spaces with limited drill clearance
• Ship auger geometry pulls the bit into the wood for fast, aggressive material removal
• Sized for common rough-in tasks including pipe, conduit, and cable runs
• Sold individually as a single bit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use ship auger bit for heavy-duty drills and right-angle drill heads accepting standard hex or round auger bit shanks.

Installation Notes

Ship auger bits are typically used by licensed electricians, plumbers, and carpenters during rough-in phases. Ensure the drill is powered off and the trigger is locked before changing bits. Secure the workpiece firmly before boring to prevent kickback. Follow applicable NEC and IPC clearance requirements when boring holes near structural members or through fire-rated assemblies.
