Dewalt DW1680 Power Ship Auger Bit 9/16x17 Inch

Product Description

The DEWALT DW1680 is a power ship auger bit designed for boring clean, accurate holes through wood framing, dimensional lumber, and structural members. At 9/16 inch in diameter and 17 inches in length, it provides the reach needed for deep-bore applications common in rough framing, electrical rough-in, and plumbing penetrations. The extended length allows trade professionals to drill through thick assemblies without repositioning. Electricians, plumbers, and HVAC installers rely on this style of bit when running conduit, pipe, or flex duct through wood stud walls and floor joists.

The DW1680 is suited for residential and light commercial construction and renovation work. It is commonly used during rough-in phases where a reliable, consistent bore diameter is required for wire, pipe, or duct penetrations. The 17-inch length makes it practical for deep drilling through double plates or stacked framing members where standard-length bits fall short.

Key Features

• 9/16 inch diameter for precise, consistent bore size
• 17-inch overall length for extended reach in deep framing applications
• Power ship auger design for efficient chip removal during drilling
• Suitable for use in framing lumber, dimensional lumber, and structural wood
• Compatible with standard drill chucks accepting hex or round shank auger bits

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or standard-use auger bit for trade drills and right-angle drills used in wood boring applications. No specific model compatibility data was provided in the product input.

Installation Notes

Electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians typically install this bit using a heavy-duty drill or right-angle drill rated for auger-style bits. Confirm the drill chuck is properly secured before operation and follow applicable NEC or IPC penetration and firestopping requirements after boring through fire-rated assemblies. Inspect the bit for damage or wear before each use and replace if the flighting or tip shows deformation.
