Overview
The L.H. Dottie Ship Auger Bit (Model 618) is a professional-grade boring tool designed for drilling through both clean and nail-embedded lumber. At 1-1/8″ x 6″, this bit is well suited for running electrical conduit or cable through structural framing. Constructed from S45C grade carbon steel with a polished finish, it delivers durability and consistent cutting performance. The self-feeding screw point tip engages the material and draws the bit forward, significantly reducing the force required from the operator.

- Engineered to bore through clean lumber and nail-embedded wood
- S45C grade carbon steel construction for durability and edge retention
