Stewart Fastener 14SA Ship Auger Bit 7/8 X 18 in

Product Description

The STEWART FASTENER 14SA is a ship auger bit designed for heavy-duty boring through thick wood members. Ship auger bits produce clean, deep holes in lumber, timber framing, and structural wood using a single-spur, self-feeding screw tip that pulls the bit through the material. At 0.875 inches in diameter and 18 inches in length, this bit is sized for deep-penetration work that standard spade or twist bits cannot reach. It is installed and used by carpenters, framers, electricians, and plumbers who need to bore through multiple studs or thick timbers in a single pass.

Ship auger bits like the 14SA are common on residential and light commercial job sites wherever long-reach boring is required. Typical applications include boring through wall plates for wire or pipe runs, drilling through floor joists, and heavy timber joinery. The 18-inch length allows the bit to clear deep structural members without repositioning. This bit is driven by a heavy-duty corded drill or right-angle drill capable of handling the torque required for large-diameter boring.

Key Features

• 0.875-inch (7/8 inch) cutting diameter for large-bore applications
• 18-inch overall length for deep-penetration boring in thick timber or stacked framing members
• Self-feeding screw tip pulls the bit through wood, reducing operator pressure
• Single-spur design produces a clean entry hole with minimal tearout
• Compatible with standard hex-shank or round-shank heavy-duty drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ship auger bit for use with heavy-duty corded drills and right-angle drills accepting a matching shank size. Verify chuck compatibility before use.

Installation Notes

Ship auger bits are operated by licensed trades and experienced carpenters using heavy-duty drills rated for high-torque, large-diameter bits. Secure the workpiece before boring and maintain a firm, two-handed grip on the drill to control torque. Keep bystanders clear of the drill and bit during operation. Follow all applicable safety codes and PPE requirements for rotary tool use on the job site.
