Auger bit with carbide tip

An auger bit for cutting holes in a composite material utility pole, the auger bit comprising:

• a body made of a first material, the body having a first end, a second end configured to be coupled to a power tool, a flute, and a longitudinal axis extending centrally through the body between the first and second ends;
• and
• a cutting tip made of a second material different from the first material, the cutting tip coupled to the first end of the body, the cutting tip including
• a first shoulder having a first spur, a first main cutting edge, and a first side cutting edge, the first spur including a first spur cutting edge extending from the first side cutting edge and a first side spur cutting edge extending from the first spur cutting edge to the first main cutting edge, the first side spur cutting edge being angled relative to the first spur cutting edge,
• a second shoulder opposite the first shoulder and having a second spur, a second main cutting edge, and a second side cutting edge, the second spur including a second spur cutting edge extending from the second side cutting edge and a second side spur cutting edge extending from the second spur cutting edge to the second main cutting edge, the second side spur cutting edge being angled relative to the second spur cutting edge, and
• a center spur positioned between the first shoulder and the second shoulder and on the longitudinal axis, the center spur including a first lower cutting edge extending from the first main cutting edge and that is parallel to the longitudinal axis, a first upper cutting edge extending from the first lower cutting edge and that is angled relative to the longitudinal axis, a second lower cutting edge extending from the second main cutting edge and that is parallel to the longitudinal axis, and a second upper cutting edge extending from the second lower cutting edge and that is angled relative to the longitudinal axis,
• wherein the first and second spurs create a clean hole through the composite material utility pole.
