WoodOwl Tricut Auger Bits: Three Cutting Edges for Cleaner Holes
Standard auger bits rely on a single lead screw and two cutting edges to bore through wood. WoodOwl's patented Tricut design adds a third cutting edge to the geometry, distributing the cutting load more evenly and producing a cleaner entry hole with noticeably less tearout at the exit face — a consistent complaint with conventional auger designs.
The WoodOwl Ultra Smooth Tricut Wood Boring Auger Bit is available in individual sizes for targeted applications, while the WoodOwl Overdrive 3-Piece Auger Bit Set provides a ready-to-use kit covering the most commonly needed diameters for construction and furniture work.
Auger bits are the right choice when boring deep holes through thick stock — running electrical conduit, installing hardware through cabinet sides, or drilling through structural timbers. The spiral flute of an auger clears chips continuously as the bit advances, preventing the binding and heat buildup that plague shorter brad point bits in deep applications.
WoodOwl Overdrive vs. Ultra Smooth Tricut
The Overdrive set is designed for speed in construction applications — framing, rough carpentry, and through-boring where throughput matters. The Ultra Smooth Tricut prioritizes surface quality at the entry and exit, making it the better choice when the hole will be visible or when tearout would require patching.
