SDS Wood Bits?
I see that Lidl have some SDS-Plus bit sets (chisels, etc.) coming up
soon - but one of the sets contains wood augers. Why would you use a wood auger in an SDS drill - or am I missing something? -- Cheers, Roger ____________ Please reply to Newsgroup. Whilst email address is valid, it is seldom checked. |

I even have a conventional chuck which goes into the SDS one. -- from KT24 in Surrey, England "I'd rather die of exhaustion than die of boredom" Thomas Carlyle |

Having seen someone drill replacement oak beams for a 16c house I think the power and (unless cheap) clutch cd also be helpful. -- Robin reply-to address is (intended to be) valid |

The slower rotational speed and extra torque can be handy for this application. Its also convenient since the bits are quick to change and don't slip in use. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

Why would you use a wood auger in an SDS drill - or am I missing something? I used to use them often when my Hilti TE6A was my main drill - as others have said, it saved changing drills. Now I like the Bosch Selfcut speed bits for mutilating joists. |

But I hope they come with a clear warning to use rotate only - with no hammer action - otherwise the spiral lead screws ain't going to last very long! -- Cheers, Roger ____________ Please reply to Newsgroup.
