Lenox 1456007A1516 Ship Auger Bit 15/16 Inch Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1456007A1516 is a ship auger bit designed for boring large-diameter holes through wood framing, timbers, and structural members. It features a 15/16 inch cutting diameter and a screw-point tip that draws the bit into the material for consistent, self-feeding cuts. The 7/16 inch hex shank provides a secure, slip-resistant grip in compatible drill chucks. Constructed from bi-metal with a high speed steel cutting edge, this bit resists heat buildup during extended drilling. The bright uncoated finish keeps the surface clean for inspection. Overall length is 7.5 inches with a 4 inch twist section.

Ship auger bits are used by carpenters, electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians when running lines, conduit, or pipe through wood studs, joists, plates, and timbers. The 15/16 inch diameter is a common size for rough-in drilling where cable, flex conduit, or small-diameter pipe must pass through structural wood. This bit is suited for use with a heavy-duty corded drill or right-angle drill in tight framing cavities. The 7-1/2 inch overall length provides enough reach through standard lumber dimensions without requiring an extension.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and operated by carpenters, electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians performing rough-in drilling through wood. Ensure the drill is powered off and the trigger is locked before changing or seating the bit in the chuck. Wear eye protection during use, as auger bits eject chips at high velocity. Do not use this bit to bore into metal, masonry, or composite materials not rated for high speed steel tooling.
