Ideal Industries 35-976 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole does the Ideal 35-976 ship auger bore?
The 35-976 RESI-MASTER auger has a 7/8 inch head, so it cuts a 7/8 inch hole through studs and joists. That is the common size electricians use for routing NM cable runs through wood framing.
2) Is a ship auger the right bit for drilling studs for electrical cable, or should I use a hole saw or spade bit?
For boring through framing members to pull wire, a ship auger like the 35-976 is the tool for it. The auger geometry pulls itself into the wood and clears chips as it advances, so it keeps cutting deep through a stud or joist without packing up and binding. Spade bits stall and wander in deep wood, and a hole saw is meant for thin stock or plate material, not a 2x framing member. Ship augers are the standard choice for electrical rough-in.
3) Will the Ideal 35-976 auger drill through a double stud or stacked framing in one pass?
It is built as a long ship auger, with an extended profile for boring cleanly through framing members in a single pass rather than a short stub bit that only clears one 2x. That is what makes it workable on doubled studs, top plates and joist bays where you need the length to get through and keep the hole straight for the cable pull.
4) Is the 35-976 auger meant for occasional use or daily production wiring work?
The RESI-MASTER line is Ideal's heavy-duty residential wiring platform, and the 35-976 is built for repeated professional use across projects. It is aimed at licensed electricians and contractors doing new construction rough-in and remodel wiring, not a one-off homeowner bit.
5) Can I use this 7/8 inch auger in a cordless drill, or does it need a right-angle drill?
A 7/8 inch auger in framing lumber takes real torque, so it is normally run in a right-angle stud-and-joist drill or a high-torque cordless drill in low gear. The 35-976 is sized for production boring through studs and joists, and a light compact drill will stall or twist on you in that application.
