DEWALT 13/16 Inch x 17 Inch Power Ship Auger Bit for Wood and Nail Embedded Lumber with Self Feed Spur 7/16 Inch Quick Change Ball Groove Shank DW1684

Industrial Wood Boring Precision: Heavy-Duty 17" Power Ship Auger Bit with Nail-Cutting Dual Edges and Self-Feeding Spur

The DEWALT DW1684 13/16-in. x 17-in. Power Ship Auger Bit is the professional’s choice for boring deep, clean holes through the toughest timbers and heavy-duty framing. Crafted from high-speed hardened alloy steel, this bit is specifically engineered to survive the most punishing jobsites. The innovative dual-cutting edge design provides maximum durability when encountering nails, allowing you to power through recycled lumber or nail-embedded studs without the frequent bit changes required by standard wood bits.

Efficiency is built into every spiral of this heavy-duty bit. A self-feeding spur delivers expedited material penetration by pulling the bit into the wood with minimal effort, while the hollow center flute ensures aggressive chip extraction to prevent clogging in deep-bore applications. Equipped with a 7/16-inch ball groove shank, the DW1684 allows for rapid bit swaps in quick-change chucks, keeping your workflow seamless. Whether you are running electrical conduit, plumbing lines, or securing timber framing, this heat-treated and tempered ship auger bit provides the longevity and speed required for industrial-scale drilling.

Key Features

• Nail-Ready Durability: Dual cutting edges are specifically designed to maintain sharpness even after hitting nails in wood.
• Self-Feed Design: Integrated lead screw spur pulls the bit through the material for faster, effortless drilling.
• Aggressive Chip Removal: Hollow center flute geometry quickly clears debris from deep holes to prevent overheating and binding.
• Hardened Alloy Steel: Heat-treated and tempered construction provides superior bit life and high-torque resistance.
• Quick-Change Shank: 7/16" ball groove shank ensures a secure fit and fast changes in compatible impact wrenches and drills.
• Extended Reach: 17-inch length is ideal for boring through multiple stacked studs or thick structural beams.

Specifications

Pro-Tip: When boring deep holes with a ship auger, occasionally pull the bit partially out while it is still spinning. This helps the hollow center flute clear the extra-long wood shavings, reducing friction heat and ensuring the self-feed spur doesn't lose its "bite" in the wood.
