Introducing Ideal's New Auger Bits – The Efficient Wood Cutting Solution for Electricians

Ideal has recently launched a new line of auger bits that are specifically designed to cater to the needs of electricians. These auger bits are equipped with advanced features that make them efficient, quick, and easy to use, providing a clean cut without splintering. With an arced cutting edge and coated fluting, these auger drill bits can cut through up to nine stacked 2x4's.

The Arc Cutting Advantage Arc cutting is a technique used in sharpening wood auger bits. It involves grinding the cutting edges of the bit in a curved or arched shape, rather than a straight line. This reduces tourque and slices through the wood fibers more cleanly and with less resistance, resulting in a smoother and more efficient drilling process. When auger bits have straight cutting edges, they can sometimes catch or tear the wood fibers, leading to a rough finish and potentially causing the bit to become stuck. Arc cutting helps to prevent these issues by creating a more gradual and continuous cutting motion, reducing the likelihood of snagging or tearing the wood.

Single and Dual Flute Options Ideal's new auger bits are available in both single and dual flute designs, with three lengths and a variety of diameters to choose from. The single flute option is ideal for dry wood and offers a quick and smooth cutting experience without binding or pulling. The dual flute option, on the other hand, is suitable for wet or nail-embedded wood and offers resistance to nail strikes, making it perfect for electricians who need to drill through wood that may contain nails. Coated fluting prevents rust and provides a smooth cut while the angled flute ejects chips efficiently and minimizes binding.

Part Numbers and Sizes Ideal's new auger bits are available in various sizes and part numbers to cater to different needs. The initial release includes 10 of the most common sizes, Look for more sizes coming soon.
