A precise and durable auger bit designed for clean, efficient boring in both dry and green wood. Manufactured in Japan by Star-M, the No.4 Power Auger Bit features a burr-free lead screw for easy centering, a twin cutting edge for reduced resistance, and an open spiral flute for excellent chip clearance. Ideal for green woodworking, chairmaking, timber framing, and more.
These auger bits are slightly longer and better suited to deep boring than the Combination Auger Bits No.6.
Crafted for use with power drills but also possible for use in a suitable hand brace, this bit features a hexagonal shank to reduce slippage in the chuck - with either 7mm, 10mm or 12mm hex depending on size (please see table below for reference).

- Open flute for smooth chip ejection
- Excellent for deep boring
