Auger

An auger comprising:

• a body including a first end, a second end opposite the first end, a stem that extends from the first end to the second end and defines an axis of rotation, and a flute helically wrapped around the stem;
• a shank at the first end of the body configured to be received by a power tool;
• and
• a cutting head at the second end of the body, the cutting head including,
• a cutting edge,
• a feed screw including a base connected to the stem, a tip opposite the base, and a thread, the thread having a pitch, and
• a spur extending away from the body on a diametrically opposite side of the axis of rotation from the cutting edge, the spur including a bottom adjacent the cutting head and a top opposite the bottom;
• wherein a distance between the bottom of the spur and the base of the feed screw measured in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation is larger than the pitch of the thread of the feed screw.

• a shank at the first end of the body configured to be received by a power tool;
• and
• a cutting head at the second end of the body, the cutting head including a cutting edge, a spur, a feed screw with a thread, and a cutting face positioned adjacent the cutting edge, the cutting face including a first surface portion extending from the cutting edge toward the flute and a second surface portion extending from the first surface portion to the flute,
• wherein a secondary angle measured between the second surface portion and a plane defined by the cutting edge and the axis of rotation is greater than a primary angle measured between the first surface portion and the plane;
• and
• wherein the cutting head defines a step at an interface with the body, and wherein the cutting head has a maximum diameter that is greater than a maximum diameter of the body.
