Freud DAG3080 Auger Bit 13/16 X 17-1/2 Inches

Product Description

The FREUD DAG3080 is a 13/16-inch diameter by 17-1/2-inch auger bit engineered for drilling through nail-embedded wood. A self-feeding dura-tip pulls the bit into the material without requiring added downward pressure, while the dual cutting edge produces clean, consistent holes. Deep flutes accelerate chip evacuation, reducing heat buildup and keeping the bit cutting efficiently through multiple holes on a single battery charge. The bit is rated for use in both cordless and corded impact drivers and drill drivers, making it a practical choice for electricians, plumbers, and HVAC installers running pipe or conduit through framed walls and floors.

This auger bit is suited for residential and light commercial rough-in work where framing lumber may contain embedded nails or staples. Typical applications include boring through wall plates, floor joists, and ceiling framing during mechanical, electrical, and plumbing rough-in. The 17-1/2-inch length provides the reach needed to drill through doubled or engineered lumber assemblies without an extension. The package contains 2 bits, providing a backup on the job when one bit needs cleaning or replacement.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and used by electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians during rough-in phases of construction. Ensure the driver chuck is fully secured before operation and confirm the bit shank is fully seated. Always inspect the bit for wear or damage before each use, particularly after contact with embedded metal fasteners. Follow OSHA and tool-manufacturer safety guidelines for personal protective equipment when drilling overhead or in confined framing cavities.
