Fine Homebuilding: For nearly everyone who works in residential construction, wood-boring bits are the preferred way to make medium-sized holes. They’re easy to find in stores, they’re not too expensive, and they generally last a long time even with almost everyday use. During framing, wood-boring bits are used to drill sill plates for anchor bolts, and sometimes to recess their washers and nuts.
Reading this article was quite informative as it provided an in-depth description and testing of a variety of wood boring bits, including spade and Auger bits, providing a comprehensive understanding of how each bit performed in their tests. Further, the test deployed in the article provided a range of important information about the use cases they were testing and how the bits would be compared, which seemed to directly apply to what many readers would be looking for. as such this article appears to be a useful resource when deciding to buy spade and augments in the future, especially detailing that for built up shapes are likely a better choice for that wood boring. As someone who is struggled to bore holes of this size (including ½” and ¾” or even larger) before, I will definitely be looking to invest in a proper bit of each kind for the future.
