Crescent CDAG-7531 7-1/2-Inch Solid Auger Drill Bit 9/16-Inch Diameter

The Crescent CDAG-7531 is a 9/16-inch diameter by 7-1/2-inch overall length solid auger wood-boring drill bit engineered with a 1/4-inch quick-release hex shank for structural lumber drilling up to 6 inches deep. Built with triple-sharpened high-speed steel (HSS) cutting edges that penetrate timber up to 10 times faster than conventional auger bits, this impact-rated boring tool delivers 40 percent more cuts per cordless battery charge. Featuring an optimized 2-flute core geometry designed to evacuate wood chips rapidly without binding, its precision-machined lead tip prevents bit walking to give timber framers, electricians, and carpenters clean, straight penetrations through thick wood beams.

Best Used For:

  • Electrical Rough-In Wire Running: Boring precise 9/16-inch pass-through holes through 2x4 and 2x6 wood studs to pull non-metallic building wire and conduit.
  • Structural Timber Framing & Deck Post Drilling: Sinking clean 6-inch deep holes through structural posts, joists, and pressure-treated lumber for carriage bolt alignment.
  • Plumbing Line & Cabinetry Passage Hole Cutting: Drilling smooth wood penetrations through flooring underlayment, subfloors, and wood framing without splintering exit faces.

Key Performance & Safety Features

  • Triple-Sharpened HSS Cutting Edges: Precision-milled high-speed steel edges cut wood fibers rapidly to achieve 10X faster drilling performance.
  • 40% Extended Battery Runtime Flutes: Low-friction tip geometry lowers motor current draw to deliver more holes per cordless drill battery charge.
  • High-Speed 2-Flute Chip Evacuation: Deep dual-flute channels clear wood shavings quickly to prevent clogging, thermal buildup, and bit binding.
  • Universal 1/4-Inch Quick-Release Hex Shank: Impact-rated hex base fits securely into 1/4-inch impact driver chucks and quick-change drill adapters.
  • Precision-Machined Tracking Lead Tip: Center spur establishes immediate wood grip to prevent bit walking on angled or smooth lumber surfaces.
  • Heavy-Duty Solid Core Construction: Forged high-speed steel body resists torsional bending during deep drilling through dense hardwoods and knots.

What's Included

  • (1) Crescent 7-1/2" x 9/16" Solid Auger Drill Bit (CDAG-7531)
  • (1) Protective 2-Piece Corkscrew Storage Tube
