Irwin 88824 Speedbor Wood Boring Bit 1-1/2 in 6 in

Product Description

The IRWIN 88824 is a Speedbor wood boring drill bit designed for fast, accurate hole drilling in wood applications. The 1-1/2 inch cutting diameter paired with a 1/4 inch hex shank and 6 inch overall length makes it a practical choice for rough framing cuts or cleaner finish work where precision matters. At 0.48 pounds, it is lightweight enough for extended use in overhead or confined-space drilling. Carpenters, electricians, and plumbers running through wood framing most commonly reach for this type of bit when boring penetration holes for conduit, pipe, or rough-in work.

This bit is suited for residential and light commercial construction and remodel work. It is commonly used to bore through wall plates, floor joists, and ceiling framing for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing rough-in. The 6 inch length provides enough reach for standard dimensional lumber and double-plate framing without requiring a bit extension. The 1/4 inch hex shank seats securely in quick-change chuck systems and standard drill chucks alike.

Key Features

• 1-1/2 inch cutting diameter for large-bore penetration holes
• 6 inch overall length reaches through standard dimensional lumber and double plates
• 1/4 inch hex shank compatible with quick-change chuck systems
• Designed for both fast rough boring and cleaner, more exact holes in wood
• Lightweight at 0.48 pounds for reduced fatigue during extended drilling tasks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose wood boring bit for use with corded and cordless drills and drivers accepting a 1/4 inch hex or standard chuck.

Installation Notes

This bit is typically installed by carpenters, electricians, and plumbers during rough-in framing stages. Ensure the drill or driver is set to the appropriate speed for the wood density being bored. Inspect the bit for wear or damage before each use, and never force a dull bit through material. When boring near structural members, follow applicable building codes for allowable hole placement and sizing.
