Built on the I-100 platform, this bit features a 3\/4-inch diameter cutting head, a single-spur configuration, and a wide land design that supports straight tracking through the workpiece. The screw point pulls the bit into the material, reducing the force required to drive it. The 5\/16-inch hex shank is compatible with standard auger bit extensions and power-drive tools. Overall length is 7-1\/2 inches, with a 4-1\/2-inch twist length to handle common framing and rough-in boring applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis auger bit is suited for residential and light commercial construction, rough framing, and mechanical trade rough-in work where holes must be bored through studs, joists, and plates. Electricians and plumbers routinely use solid center auger bits for running conduit, pipe, and cable through wood framing members. The hex shank design seats securely in a drill or right-angle drive without slipping under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/4-inch cutting diameter for standard rough-in hole sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrew point tip pulls the bit forward and reduces operator pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle spur scoring edge for cleaner entry cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide land geometry supports straight boring with minimal drift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5\/16-inch hex shank fits standard auger extensions and power drives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid center construction resists flex during deep boring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard replacement or add-on auger bit for use with 3\/8-inch or 1\/2-inch corded drills and right-angle drives accepting a 5\/16-inch hex shank, as used in electrical, plumbing, and general carpentry rough-in applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation of this bit is performed by electricians, plumbers, carpenters, and general contractors during rough-in framing stages. Ensure the drill is set to an appropriate speed for the material being bored; slower speeds with higher torque are standard for auger bits in dimensional lumber. Inspect the work area for embedded fasteners or utility lines before boring. Keep the shank seated fully in the chuck or drive extension before beginning a cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwist Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Screw Point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpur Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single Spur\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Twist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCenter Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Center\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUOM\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 024721100139\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: IRWIN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: IR49912\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"IRWIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51345344823602,"sku":"IR49912","price":19.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310499717.jpg?v=1782055337","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/irwin-ir49912-solid-center-auger-bit-3-4-inch-hex-shank","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
