Irwin IR3041005 Wood Boring Bit 7/8 X 6 Inch

Product Description

The IRWIN IR3041005 is a wood boring bit designed for drilling clean, full-diameter holes through dimensional lumber, engineered wood, and similar materials. Measuring 7/8 inch in diameter and 6 inches in length, this bit is suited for applications where standard-length spade or auger bits fall short. Electricians boring through wall studs and plates for wire runs, plumbers drilling through framing for pipe penetrations, and HVAC installers routing refrigerant or control lines through wood framing are the primary trades that reach for this tool. The 6-inch length provides enough reach to pass through typical 2x framing assemblies in a single pass.

This bit is used in residential and light commercial new construction and retrofit work. It fits standard drill chucks and is well suited for repetitive framing penetrations where speed and clean hole geometry matter. Common install scenarios include electrical rough-in, plumbing rough-in, and low-voltage cable routing through wood stud walls and floor joists. The 7/8-inch diameter accommodates typical conduit, pipe, and cable bundle clearances used across multiple trades.

Installation Notes

Installation of this bit is performed by electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians during rough-in phases. Ensure the drill is set to the appropriate speed for wood boring before use, and confirm the work area is clear of embedded fasteners, electrical conductors, or plumbing that could cause injury. Follow applicable NEC, IPC, or IFGC clearance requirements when locating penetrations near structural members. Wear appropriate eye protection when boring through wood framing.
