Auger Bits Handheld/ Scotch Screw-Eyed
Auger is a tool (or bit) for drilling holes in wood that is used in conjunction with a carpenter's brace. It has six parts: a screw, spurs, cutting edges, twist, shank, and tang, and it looks like a corkscrew. The screw, which resembles a tapered wood screw and has a small diameter, centers the bit and draws it into the work. There are two sharp spikes called spurs at the working end of the twist that score a circle equal in diameter to the hole and two radial cutting edges that cut shavings within the scored circle. The helical twist transports the shavings away from the cutters. The tang of the brace is square and tapered, and it fits into the chuck.
