The FAMAG 1494 TCT-Auger Bit combines a changeable HSS thread point with two carbide-tipped main cutting edges and protruding lips to deliver clean, accurately fitting holes in hardwoods. Its specially formed chip channel ensures rapid waste removal and extended tool life. 

🔩 Design & Construction

• Thread Point: Replaceable HSS tip that pulls the bit into material for precise alignment.

• Cutting Edges: Dual carbide inserts maintain sharpness and resist wear in demanding hardwood applications.

• Chip Channel: Uniquely contoured to eject chips efficiently, reducing clogging and heat buildup.

• Shank: Cylindrical with three clamping faces for slip-free mounting in hand drills or joinery machines. 

📏 Sizes & Specifications

🔄 Replaceable Components

Keep your auger bit at peak performance with HSS spare parts:

• Thread Point: Ø 16–19 mm (F1494901), Ø 20–25 mm (F1494902)

• Centre Point: Ø 16–19 mm (F1494905), Ø 20–25 mm (F1494904) 

🪵 Applications & Performance
