Your choice of drill bit for your wood applications is crucial to your project's success. When you're in the market for a new auger drill bit, keep the following considerations in mind: 

  • Purpose: Match your application to the type of drill bit you need. These attachments are available in various designs and configurations, making them ideal for specific applications. 
  • Length: Wood boring drill bits are built in countless sizes to create unique holes at various depths. The proper length of your drill bit should align with the width and depth of your wood to satisfy your project demands.
