Ideal 35-810 Ship Auger Bit 5/8 Inch Short

Product Description

The IDEAL 35-810 is a 5/8-inch short ship auger bit designed for boring through wood framing and structural lumber. Ship augers are a standard tool for electricians and plumbers who need to run conduit, pipe, or wire through framing members, joists, and plates. The short-length design provides better torque control and maneuverability in tight spaces where a full-length auger would be difficult to handle. This bit is built for use with a standard drill or hole-hawg-style right-angle drill motor common on rough-in work.

The 35-810 is suited for residential and light commercial rough-in applications where trade professionals need to bore clean, consistent holes through wood framing. It is a go-to choice for electrical rough-in work, plumbing stub-outs, and low-voltage wiring runs. The short overall length makes it particularly useful in confined spaces such as wall cavities, crawlspaces, and between floor joists where swing room is limited.

Key Features

• 5/8-inch cutting diameter for standard wire and small conduit pass-through holes
• Short-length design improves control and usability in confined framing cavities
• Ship auger style provides aggressive wood boring with clean entry and exit
• Compatible with standard drill chucks and right-angle drill motors

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard consumable for use with right-angle drills, corded drills, and hole-hawg drill motors accepting standard hex or round auger shanks.

Installation Notes

Installation of this bit is typically performed by licensed electricians, plumbers, or low-voltage technicians during rough-in framing stages. Ensure the drill is powered off and the bit is fully seated in the chuck before operation. Always check framing members for hidden fasteners or existing utilities before boring. Follow applicable NEC or IPC guidelines for hole sizing and placement relative to framing edges.
