Freud DAG3070 Auger Bit 3/4 X 17-1/2 Inches

Product Description

The FREUD DAG3070 is a heavy-duty auger bit designed for drilling through wood, including nail-embedded lumber. It measures 3/4 inches in diameter and 17-1/2 inches in length, making it well suited for deep-bore applications in framing, rough carpentry, and electrical or plumbing rough-in work. The self-feeding dura-tip draws the bit into the material without requiring excessive feed pressure, while dual cutting edges produce clean, consistent holes. Deep flutes along the shank clear chips efficiently, reducing heat buildup and maintaining cutting speed across repeated holes on a single battery charge or with corded tools.

This auger bit is built for trades that routinely drill through structural framing, engineered lumber, and recycled or reclaimed wood where embedded nails are a common obstacle. Electricians and plumbers running wire or pipe through wall studs and floor joists will find the nail-embedded capability particularly useful. The bit is sold as a 2-piece package. It is compatible with both cordless and corded impact drivers and drill drivers, making it a practical addition to a job-site tool kit where tool variety may be limited.

Key Features

• Self-feeding dura-tip pulls the bit through material without heavy operator pressure
• Dual cutting edges deliver smooth, consistent holes in wood and nail-embedded lumber
• Deep flutes improve chip evacuation for sustained performance across multiple holes per charge
• Compatible with cordless and corded impact drivers and drill drivers
• 3/4 inch diameter by 17-1/2 inch length suits deep-bore rough-in applications
• Package includes 2 bits

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard hex-shank cordless and corded impact drivers and drill drivers. Suitable for drilling through dimensional lumber, engineered wood, and nail-embedded framing typical in residential and light commercial construction.

Installation Notes

Install the bit securely into the tool chuck before operation and confirm the shank is fully seated. When drilling through suspected nail-embedded wood, reduce speed on initial entry to avoid bit deflection. Electricians and plumbers should follow applicable NEC or IPC requirements for hole sizing and placement relative to framing members. Keep bystanders clear and wear appropriate eye protection when drilling through materials that may contain embedded fasteners.
