Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with an oxide coating, it delivers durability and reduced friction during drilling. The 0.5-inch cutting diameter and 5-inch flute length make it suited for through-boring applications where a standard spade bit falls short. At 7.5 inches overall length and a 3-inch hex shank, it seats securely in compatible power drills and right-angle drills commonly used by electricians, plumbers, and HVAC installers running pipe and conduit through structural members.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ship auger bit is used in residential and light commercial construction and retrofit work. Electricians and plumbers use auger bits like this to bore through wall plates, floor joists, and rim boards when routing wiring, conduit, or pipe. The standard point type self-starts in wood without requiring a pilot hole, and the long flute helps clear chips efficiently in deeper cuts. It is sold individually and fits into standard hex-drive chucks and bit extensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.5-inch cutting diameter with 5-inch flute length for deep, clean bores\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction with oxide coating for durability and reduced friction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-inch hex shank provides positive engagement in hex-drive chucks and bit holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShip auger bit style with standard point for self-starting entry in wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7.5-inch overall length handles structural lumber and doubled framing members\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePart of the SPEEDBOR SUPREME series for consistent performance in demanding trade applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with power drills and right-angle drills equipped with a 3-inch hex shank chuck or compatible hex-drive bit holder.

Ensure the drill chuck or bit holder is fully seated and secured before operation. When boring through structural members, confirm that notching or boring meets applicable building code requirements for framing integrity. Allow the bit to clear chips periodically on deep bores to prevent binding and 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: 7.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 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: 8.1 inches L x 1.2 inches W x 1.2 inches H\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.28 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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: IWAX3015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"IRWIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539277021490,"sku":"IWAX3015","price":43.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/cf258e510ac2fec570b592cb3abe1343.jpg?v=1785837651","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/irwin-iwax3015-ship-auger-bit-0-5-inch-hex-shank-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
