Ideal Industries Dual Flute Ship Auger Bit, Wood Boring

Ideal Industries Dual Flute Ship Auger Bit

The Ideal Industries Dual Flute Ship Auger Bit line, available in Model 36-651, 36-661, and 36-663, is purpose-built for electricians and contractors who need to bore clean, straight holes through wood framing members such as studs and joists when routing electrical cable, low-voltage wire, or conduit. The dual-flute design is a hallmark of ship auger geometry, engineered to channel wood chips efficiently up and out of the bore as the bit advances, which helps reduce binding, minimizes heat buildup, and keeps the hole path straight and true even in long runs through dimensional lumber. Ship augers like these are a staple in the electrician's toolkit precisely because they combine aggressive material removal with dependable tracking, making them well suited to the repetitive, high-volume drilling that wire installation demands on residential and commercial jobsites. Whichever model you select from the 36-651 through 36-663 range, you get the same proven auger geometry and chip-clearing performance electricians rely on for rough-in work.

Key Features

• Dual Flute Design: The twin-flute configuration is engineered to evacuate wood chips quickly during boring, supporting smoother cutting action and reduced bit binding in extended runs.
• Ship Auger Profile: A classic auger-style tip and body geometry built to self-feed into wood and maintain a straight bore path, a preferred format among electricians for framing penetrations.
• Built for Wire and Cable Routing: Designed to create clean access holes through studs and joists for running electrical cable, low-voltage wiring, and conduit during rough-in work.
• Ideal Industries Reliability: Manufactured by Ideal Industries, a trusted name in professional electrical tools relied on by electrical contractors for consistent, jobsite-ready performance.
• Repetitive-Use Durability: Constructed to withstand the demands of high-volume drilling required on new construction and renovation electrical projects.
• Model Range: Offered as Model 36-651, 36-661, and 36-663 to fit a range of boring needs while sharing the same dual-flute ship auger construction.
