FAMAG 1494 LEWIS TCT AUGER BIT
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.
