22mm 3-Flute Auger Bit - LT-AUG-22 | Lerin Tools

22mm 3‑Flute Auger Bit – LT-AUG-22 | Lerin Tools

The Lerin Tools 22mm 3‑Flute Auger Bit is designed for fast, clean drilling of medium‑size holes in timber. A self‑feeding tip pulls the bit into the workpiece, and the three‑flute design clears chips quickly to reduce clogging and heat build‑up, making it ideal for drilling through studs, joists and beams on framing, decking and general construction jobs.

The precision cutting edges and outer spurs help produce smooth holes with minimal tear‑out on entry and exit. Manufactured from hardened high‑carbon steel, the bit is built for trade use and performs reliably in softwood and hardwood when drilled at the correct speed with a suitable high‑torque drill.

FAQs
What materials can this auger bit drill?
It is suitable for softwood, most hardwoods, LVL, plywood, MDF and chipboard. Very dense hardwoods may require slower speeds and lighter feed pressure.

What type of drill should I use?
Use a power drill or low‑speed rotary hammer (drill‑only mode) with enough torque for a 22mm auger bit. Augers perform best at lower RPM to avoid burning the timber and overloading the motor.

Is this suitable for deep holes?
Yes. The 3‑flute design improves chip evacuation. For deeper holes, withdraw the bit periodically to clear chips and prevent binding.

Can I use it in an impact driver?
If the shank is hex and your impact driver is rated for auger bits, it may be compatible, but a high‑torque drill generally gives better control and smoother drilling.
