Built from high-speed steel with an oxide coating, this bit delivers durability under sustained drilling loads. It features a 0.5 inch hole diameter, a 15 inch flute length for deep-reach applications, and an 18 inch overall length. The 3-inch hex shank locks securely into compatible drill chucks and bit extensions. This bit is suited for electricians, plumbers, and carpenters who need to bore through thick stock during rough-in work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IWAX3006 is well-suited for residential and light commercial rough-in applications where wire, pipe, or conduit must pass through wood framing or engineered lumber. The 18 inch overall length allows boring through double or triple framing members in a single pass. The standard point type provides reliable starting without a pilot hole in most wood substrates. Electricians drilling stud bays for cable runs and plumbers boring through joists for pipe drops are the primary users of this bit size and length combination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.5 inch hole diameter for standard cable, conduit, and pipe rough-in applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e18 inch overall length with 15 inch flute length for deep single-pass boring\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction with oxide coating for heat and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-inch hex shank for positive chuck engagement and reduced slippage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShip auger bit design clears chips efficiently during deep-hole drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard point type for accurate starting on framing lumber and engineered wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement ship auger bit compatible with standard hex-shank drill chucks and auger bit extensions used in corded and cordless right-angle or straight drills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is typically installed by licensed electricians, plumbers, and rough-in carpenters using heavy-duty corded or cordless drills. Confirm the drill chuck accepts a hex shank before use, and ensure the bit is fully seated and locked before drilling. When boring near structural members, follow applicable building codes for hole placement and size relative to joist depth. Remove the bit from the hole periodically on deep cuts to clear chips and reduce heat buildup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuger Bit Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ship Auger Bit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: SPEEDBOR SUPREME\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18.6 inches L x 1.2 inches W x 1.2 inches H\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.67 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27111537\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: IWAX3006\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"IRWIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51544564072754,"sku":"IWAX3006","price":63.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/cd95893ad6d46dbf201e49bc6405c097.jpg?v=1785930066","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/irwin-iwax3006-ship-auger-bit-0-5-in-hex-shank-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
