Irwin 1-3/4" 3-Cutter Self Feed Drill Bit (3046009)

The Irwin 1-3/4" 3-Cutter Self Feed Drill Bit (3046009) is a professional-grade wood-boring tool engineered for efficiency and precision. This bit is designed to quickly and cleanly drill large-diameter holes in wood, making it an essential tool for plumbers, electricians, and general contractors. Its innovative three-cutter design, aggressive screw pitch, and resharpenable edges provide extended performance and value on the job site. The quick-change hex shank ensures a secure connection with your drill, preventing slippage and allowing for rapid bit changes. Whether you're running conduit, installing pipe, or working on other woodworking projects, this bit is built to deliver fast, accurate results.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Extended Bit Life: The unique three-cutter design provides three cutting edges, extending the bit's useful life compared to traditional bits, reducing replacements and saving time and money.
• Effortless Drilling: Aggressive screw pitch pulls the bit into wood, reducing user force and fatigue, allowing faster drilling even through tough materials.
• Clean and Precise Holes: Cutting edges produce smooth, clean holes, essential for professional installations like pipes and wiring.
• Easy Tool Changes: The 7/16-inch quick-change hex shank offers secure, wobble-free connection and fast bit swaps without a chuck key.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Diameter: 1-3/4 inches
• Overall Length: 5 inches
• Shank Size: 7/16 inches
• Shank Type: Quick Change Hex
• Number of Cutters: 3
• Material: Hardened Steel

HOW TO USE:

• Secure the Bit: Insert the 7/16-inch hex shank into the chuck of a 1/2-inch or larger electric or impact drill. Tighten securely to prevent slipping.
• Position the Bit: Place the screw tip on the exact spot to drill. Ensure the bit is perpendicular to the wood surface for a clean, straight hole.
• Start Drilling: Apply light, steady pressure. The aggressive screw pitch will pull the bit into the wood. Avoid pushing too hard to prevent binding or overheating.
• Maintain Speed: Keep drill speed consistent for a clean cut and to avoid bit getting stuck.
• Clear Debris: Wood chips will exit through the flutes. For deep holes, occasionally pull the bit back slightly to clear debris and avoid clogging.
• Complete the Hole: Drill until the bit passes through the workpiece. Reverse the drill to back the bit out easily.
