Built from high-speed steel with an oxide coating, it delivers consistent cutting performance under demanding jobsite conditions. The bit features a 0.625-inch hole diameter, a 5-inch flute length, and a 7.5-inch overall length. The hex shank provides a secure, non-slip grip in compatible drill chucks and bit extensions. This bit is installed by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors who need to run conduit, pipe, or duct work through wood framing and structural components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IWAX3016 is suited for residential and light commercial construction applications where trade professionals need to bore through single or stacked lumber, joists, headers, and blocking. The ship auger bit profile is particularly effective in green or wet lumber, dense hardwoods, and rough framing stock. Its compact 7.5-inch overall length allows use in tighter spaces compared to extended-length auger bits, making it practical for retrofit and remodel work as well as new construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.625-inch cutting diameter for standard pipe, conduit, and cable rough-in applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShip auger bit profile handles green lumber, wet wood, and dense hardwoods without binding\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction with oxide coating for durability and reduced friction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex shank design prevents slipping in drill chucks and is compatible with standard bit extensions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5-inch flute length and 7.5-inch overall length suit confined-space and standard framing work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePart of the IRWIN SPEEDBOR SUPREME series for consistent OEM-grade replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a replacement and utility auger bit compatible with standard hex-shank drill chucks and bit extension bars used in corded and cordless drills across residential and commercial framing applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElectricians, plumbers, and HVAC installers should confirm the drill chuck accepts the hex shank before use. Always ensure the work material is secured before drilling to prevent kickback. Inspect the bit for wear or damage before each use, as a dull auger tip can cause the bit to walk or bind in the material. Follow applicable NEC, IPC, or IFGC clearance requirements when boring through structural members for utility rough-in work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.625 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\u003eTwist 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\u003eAuger Bit Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ship Auger Bit\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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.38 pounds\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\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: IWAX3016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"IRWIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541591621938,"sku":"IWAX3016","price":47.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/8935bddf3b9bcfacff69af1ee197f386.jpg?v=1785880121","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/irwin-iwax3016-ship-auger-bit-0-625-in-hex-shank-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
