Irwin 2-1/8" 3-Cutter Speedbor MAX Self-Feed Wood Bit (3046011)

The Irwin 2-1/8" 3-Cutter Speedbor MAX Self-Feed Wood Bit (3046011) is a high-performance drilling tool crafted for professionals who require speed and precision when boring large-diameter holes in wood. The bit's three cutting edges are a significant advancement, offering a service life that is extended multiple times over compared to standard self-feed bits. This means less frequent bit changes and a more consistent cutting performance over time. The aggressive screw pitch at the tip of the bit enables a powerful self-feeding action, allowing the bit to pull itself into the material with minimal effort from the user. This feature not only accelerates the drilling process but also reduces user fatigue, especially during repetitive tasks. Furthermore, the 7/16" quick-change impact shank is a key benefit for modern professionals. It ensures a secure fit in all standard 7/16" quick-change chucks, including those on high-torque impact drivers. The design of the shank prevents slipping in the chuck, which is critical for maintaining control and stability during high-demand drilling applications.

HOW TO USE:

1. Safety First: Wear safety glasses and gloves before starting.
2. Select the Right Tool: Attach the bit to a compatible drill or impact driver with a 7/16" quick-change chuck.
3. Secure Your Workpiece: Place the wood on a stable surface and clamp it in place.
4. Position the Bit: Align the bit tip on the drilling location, ensuring it is perpendicular to the surface.
5. Begin Drilling: Start at low speed to let the screw tip bite into the wood, then increase speed.
6. Maintain Control: Allow the self-feeding mechanism to work; apply steady, moderate pressure.
7. Complete the Hole: Drill through, then reverse the drill to remove the bit smoothly.
