Freud DAG3060 Auger Bit 11/16x17-1/2 in Nail Wood 2-pack

Product Description

The FREUD DAG3060 is an auger bit designed for drilling through nail-embedded wood in demanding jobsite conditions. Sold as a 2-pack, each bit measures 11/16 inches in diameter and 17-1/2 inches in length. The self-feeding dura-tip pulls the bit into the material without requiring heavy operator pressure, while dual cutting edges produce a clean, controlled bore through wood and embedded fasteners. Deep spiral flutes clear chips efficiently, maintaining drilling speed over extended use. Compatible with both cordless and corded drill drivers and impact drivers, this bit is built for sustained performance in framing, demolition, and rough-in applications where nails are a constant hazard.

This auger bit is suited for electrical, plumbing, and HVAC rough-in work where drilling through framing members and nail-laden lumber is routine. The 17-1/2 inch length gives adequate reach for boring through wall cavities and structural members without extensions. The 11/16 inch diameter is a common size for low-voltage wire, small conduit, and light tubing runs. Contractors and tradespeople using cordless platforms will benefit from the efficient chip evacuation, which reduces motor load and extends battery runtime per charge.

Key Features

• Self-feeding dura-tip pulls the bit into material, reducing downward pressure required from the operator
• Dual cutting edges bore through nail-embedded wood without stalling or deflecting
• Deep flutes accelerate chip evacuation, supporting more holes per battery charge on cordless tools
• Compatible with corded and cordless drill drivers and impact drivers
• 11/16 inch diameter suits wire, conduit, and small tubing rough-in applications
• 2-pack quantity supports extended runs or backup availability on the job

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard cordless and corded drill drivers and impact drivers. Suitable for rough-in drilling through dimensional lumber and nail-embedded wood framing.

Installation Notes

Installation of this bit type is typically performed by electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians during rough-in framing stages. Ensure the tool chuck is fully tightened and the bit is seated securely before drilling. When boring through existing assemblies, verify the path is clear of live wiring, pressurized lines, and structural fasteners beyond what is expected. Follow applicable NEC, IPC, or IFGC clearance requirements for the trade discipline being performed.
