It features a screw point tip that pulls the bit into the wood for consistent feed without additional downward pressure. The 15\/16-inch cutting diameter and single spur configuration produce a well-defined hole edge with minimal tear-out. The 5\/16-inch hex shank is compatible with standard bit extensions and auger adapters. Carpenters, electricians, and plumbers routinely use auger bits like this one when drilling through framing members for wire runs, pipe penetrations, and structural applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis auger bit is suited for residential and light commercial framing, rough-in electrical work, plumbing rough-in, and general carpentry where a 15\/16-inch hole is required through solid wood or engineered lumber. The 7-1\/2-inch overall length provides reach into framing cavities and between studs without requiring an extension. The 4-1\/2-inch twist length gives sufficient chip clearance during the full bore depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid center construction resists flex and deflection during boring\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScrew point tip self-feeds into wood, reducing operator pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle spur design scores the perimeter for clean hole edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWide land twist flute clears chips efficiently through the full cut depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16-inch hex shank fits standard drill chucks and auger bit adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePackaged individually for single-bit purchase and jobsite use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use auger bit compatible with 3\/8-inch and 1\/2-inch corded or cordless drills equipped with a hex-shank chuck or a standard auger bit adapter accepting a 5\/16-inch hex shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA licensed electrician or plumber typically selects auger bits of this type for drilling through wood framing during rough-in. Ensure the drill is set to low speed for auger bits to maintain control and prevent binding. Clear chips frequently on deep passes to prevent overheating and bit wandering. Follow applicable NEC or IPC clearance requirements when drilling near structural members or fasteners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15\/16 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\u003eTip Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Screw Point\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Twist\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpur Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single Spur\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCenter Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Center\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: I-100\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold As\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 024721100160\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: IR49915\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"IRWIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51344502260018,"sku":"IR49915","price":21.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310499707.jpg?v=1782036653","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/irwin-ir49915-wood-auger-bit-15-16-in-solid-center-hex-shank","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
