Lenox 1456107A1616 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What diameters does the Lenox ship auger bit come in?
Two bore sizes are offered: 1 inch and 1-1/4 inch. Both are the same 7-1/2 inch overall length ship auger with the hardened screw tip, so pick by the hole size you need. Order the 1 inch as 1456107A1616 or the 1-1/4 inch as 1456407A2016.
2) How deep a hole will a 7-1/2 inch ship auger bit actually drill?
The 7-1/2 inch figure is the overall bit length, so usable boring depth is less once the shank is seated in the chuck. It's sized for standard and deeper boring in framing and timber, not for through-boring thick built-up assemblies. If you need to pass a wire run through a doubled-up stud or a header, measure the stack first and step up to a longer auger or an extension.
3) Is a ship auger the right bit for running cable through wood studs and joists?
Yes, that's its main job. A ship auger has a single long flute and a screw tip that pulls itself into the wood, so it clears chips out of deep holes instead of packing them, which is what you want when boring stud bays and joists for cable. The oversized cutting head helps it back out of the hole without binding. For a shallow hole in sheet material a standard spade or hole saw is quicker; for deep boring through solid timber the ship auger is the correct tool.
4) What kind of drill do I need to run this Lenox auger bit?
Use a drill with enough torque for a 1 inch or 1-1/4 inch auger, a corded or high-torque cordless unit rather than a light compact driver. The bit is forged for higher torque resistance, so the limiting factor is the drill, not the bit. Mount it in a chuck that grips the shank securely and in line, then test cut at a moderate speed before boring to full depth. A side handle is worth having, since a screw-tip auger self-feeds and will twist the drill if it stalls.
5) What does the 62 degree cutting angle on this auger bit do for me?
The 62 degree cutting edge is reinforced, which trades a little bite for edge strength. Practically, it means the bit holds up when it runs into dense or dirty timber instead of chipping, and it leaves a clean hole wall. That's the reason this bit suits remodel work where you don't always know what's inside the wood.
6) Will the screw tip on this bit survive hitting a nail?
The tip is hardened, which is what gives it durability and consistent penetration, but no wood auger is a nail eater. If you expect embedded fasteners in old framing, back off and reposition rather than driving through. Hardened screw tips chip when they take a square hit on steel.
7) Is this Lenox bit sold individually or as a set?
It ships as an individual bit, one diameter per order, not as a multi-size auger set. If you want both the 1 inch and the 1-1/4 inch on the truck, order each separately.
8) Can I use this ship auger bit on marine timber and heavy construction work, not just framing?
Yes. Ship augers were built for shipbuilding and heavy timber, and this one is called out for marine and shipbuilding use along with construction and carpentry, industrial assembly, timber work, and MRO drilling. The forged body is what makes it hold up in those heavier materials.
