Product information
Clean, tear-free holes with a flat bottom, whether you are working with a drill or a brace, can be achieved with these auger bits from STAR-M in Japan. Japan has a great tradition in wood construction, and modern wood construction has developed industries that meet the needs of carpenters and joiners for modern and quality tools. Today, we benefit from excellent quality and well-thought-out products like these auger bits.
These bits have a curved, pronounced pre-cutter that creates a clean hole edge even at very slow speeds, as in manual operation. The main cutter is designed like a chisel, rotating around the threaded tip, chipping away wood layer by layer within the circle cut by the pre-cutter. The threaded tip pulls the bit into the wood, requiring almost no pressure. This threaded tip is more finely crafted than those of bits designed solely for manual use. This is because a drill would pull a bit with a coarsely crafted threaded tip too quickly into the wood. Be careful, especially at the start of drilling, not to tilt the bit and to maintain the set direction. Otherwise, the tip might break, rendering the bit unusable.
These auger bits are suitable for all types of softwoods and European hardwoods like beech and oak. They are not suitable for extremely hard tropical woods. Use either a suitable brace or a slow-running drill. Do not let the bit overheat and „vent” frequently, i.e., retract the bit with the drill running (do not pull out) to aid chip removal and cool the bit. Work with minimal pressure! Not suitable for drill presses or bench drills!
