Full details

The Bahco 9627 Series Long Combination Auger Bit (22mm) is designed for woodworkers needing to bore deep, precise holes. Its extended length is ideal for long-reach applications, offering quick cutting with both power drills and hand braces. A key benefit is its self-feed threaded tip, which aids in consistent depth control, though it requires a firm grip and careful pressure management for optimal performance, especially in denser woods.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What types of wood can this auger bit be used on?

This bit is designed for quick precision cutting with all types of wood, including softwoods and hardwoods. Performance may vary slightly with denser hardwoods.

What is the difference between working length and overall length?

The working length (385mm) refers to the portion of the bit that engages with the material to create the hole. The overall length (460mm) is the total length of the bit, including the shank.

Can I use this bit for drilling metal?

No, this auger bit is specifically designed for use in wood. Using it on metal can damage the bit and the workpiece.

How do I maintain the self-feed tip?

Keep the tip clean from wood debris. Inspect it periodically for any damage. The threading aids in material engagement, so ensuring it is clear is key to its function.

What is the 'Levin pattern' spiral?

The Levin pattern is a specific design of the spiral flute that optimizes chip removal, leading to cleaner holes and more efficient drilling.

How should I store this long auger bit?

Store the bit in a dry environment to prevent rust. A tool roll or a dedicated bit organizer can help protect the cutting edges and lacquered finish.

What is the recommended drill speed for this bit?

For power drills, a moderate speed is recommended, especially for harder woods. Consult your drill's manual, but generally, lower speeds with consistent pressure are more effective for auger bits.

Troubleshooting

Bit is not self-feeding effectively into the wood.

Ensure the drill is set to the correct rotation direction. Apply consistent, steady pressure. The wood may be too hard for the current drill speed; try a slightly slower speed. Check the threaded tip for damage or accumulated debris.

Hole is not clean or is rough.

Reduce drilling speed. Ensure the spiral flute is clear of debris. Use a sharp bit; consider sharpening if it's old or heavily used. For exit holes, support the back of the wood to prevent tear-out.

Bit gets stuck or binds in the wood.

Immediately stop drilling and reverse the drill to back the bit out. Clear any packed debris from the flutes. Ensure the hole is not being drilled at an angle that causes binding.

Visible rust on the bit.

Clean the rust with steel wool or a wire brush. Wipe dry and apply a light coat of rust-inhibiting oil. Store the bit in a dry location.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent for deep hole boring applications.
  • Durable construction ensures a long service life.
  • Versatile usage with both power drills and hand braces.
  • Self-feed tip assists with controlled and efficient drilling.
  • Levin spiral pattern enhances chip evacuation for cleaner cuts.

Cons

  • Requires careful pressure control, especially with power drills.
  • May be more challenging to control precisely in very hard woods.
  • Extended length can be cumbersome in tight spaces.
  • Lacquered finish can chip with rough handling.
  • Requires regular cleaning to maintain optimal performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Securely chuck the auger bit into your power drill or hand brace. Ensure the chuck grips the shank firmly. For power drills, set the drill to the appropriate speed and direction (usually forward for drilling).

Compatibility: This bit is compatible with standard power drill chucks and most hand braces.

Care: After each use, clean out wood chips and debris from the spiral flute. A brush or compressed air can be effective. Wipe the bit dry and consider applying a light coat of oil to the shaft if storing for extended periods to prevent rust. Store in a dry, protected environment.
