Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

Meet the Irwin 7/8 - 3 in. x 6-1/2 in. L High Speed Steel Wood Boring Bit with a 6-Flat Shank — built for clean, precise holes in wood with extended tool life.

Designed for woodworkers who demand consistent results, this bit uses high-speed steel to resist heat and stay sharper longer, delivering smooth, accurate holes in softwood and hardwood alike.

  • Drill size range: 7/8" to 3" holes
  • Overall length: 6-1/2"
  • Shank diameter: 7/16"
  • Shank type: 6-Flat Shank for reduced slippage
  • Material: High Speed Steel
  • Package: Carded (1 piece)

How it helps your projects:

  • Perfect for woodworking tasks that require larger-diameter holes, such as running cables, installing dowels, or crafting joints with clearances.
  • The 6-flat shank locks into your drill chuck with minimal wobble, keeping your bit aligned and your holes true even under higher feed rates.
  • Versatile across softwoods and hardwoods when used with appropriate drilling speed and light lubrication.

Why choose Irwin for this bit?

  • Trusted brand known for durable, dependable woodworking tools.
  • 6-Flat Shank design minimizes bit slip and provides consistent bite, reducing rework.
  • Made from high-speed steel for better heat resistance during extended drilling sessions.

Tips for best results:

  • Secure the workpiece with clamps and drill at a steady pace to avoid tear-out.
  • Start with a pilot hole if working in dense hardwoods to guide the large-diameter bit.
  • Use a light amount of drilling oil or wax to reduce friction and extend bit life.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a co-op banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
