Wood-drilling self-feed bit for boring holes 1 in or larger. The bit uses a self-feeding screw tip to pull the cutter through the wood, multiple cutting edges to reduce binding and extend service life, and an open-tooth profile to aid chip ejection and allow re-sharpening. It uses a 7/16 in shank designed for quick-change applications while remaining compatible with standard chucks.
Project Ideas
Business
Custom Modular Retail Displays
Produce heavy-duty peg panels and accessories for boutiques and pop-ups using a 1 in peg system. Offer shelves, hooks, and sign holders that plug into 1 in holes. The bit’s fast, self-feeding action and re-sharpenable open teeth reduce production time and consumable cost, enabling profitable batch runs.
On-Site Pre-Boring Service (PEX/Low-Voltage)
Offer a mobile drilling service to plumbers and low-voltage installers: quickly bore 1 in holes through studs and plates for 3/4 in PEX and cable bundles. The self-feed bit’s quick-change shank speeds tool transitions on ladders and in tight framing, while multiple cutting surfaces minimize hang-ups in dense or nail-prone lumber.
Coat/Blanket Rack Kits with 1 in Pegs
Sell DIY kits or finished wall racks using 1 in dowel pegs set into bored holes. Provide pre-drilled boards, pegs, screws, and finish options. The self-feed bit ensures snug, repeatable holes, letting you scale production with a simple jig and consistent tolerances.
Compost and Aeration Bin Manufacturing
Build and sell wooden composters and storage bins with 1 in aeration hole patterns for faster decomposition and odor control. The open-tooth design clears chips in wet or resinous woods, lowering labor per bin and allowing easy maintenance of the bit for long runs.
Content + Sharpening Micro-Service
Create tutorial content on self-feed bit techniques and maintenance, and offer a local mail-in sharpening service leveraging the bit’s open-tooth profile. Monetize via ads, affiliate links to quick-change systems, and per-bit sharpening fees to woodworkers and tradespeople.

Modular 1-inch Pegboard Wall
Drill a grid of 1 in holes in thick plywood or hardwood to create a heavy-duty pegboard. Use 1 in hardwood dowels as pegs to support shelves, hooks, and planters. The self-feeding screw tip speeds repetitive boring, the open-tooth profile clears chips in deep holes, and the 7/16 in quick-change shank makes it easy to swap between the bit and drivers while building accessories.
Rustic Log Bud Vase/Lantern
Bore a pattern of 1 in vertical holes into a small log or timber offcut to accept 24–25 mm glass test tubes as bud vases, or run LED fairy lights through the holes for a lantern effect. Multiple cutting edges reduce binding in green or knotty wood, and the open-tooth design makes deep bores cleaner and re-sharpenable for long projects.
Ladder-Style Blanket Shelf
Make a leaning ladder shelf or towel rack by drilling 1 in holes in side rails to accept 1 in dowel rungs. The self-feed bit keeps holes true and fast in thick hardwood, and the quick-change shank lets you bounce between drilling and driving screws for assembly.
Planter Boxes with Aeration and Drainage
Build cedar planter boxes and add 1 in drainage and sidewall aeration holes to improve root health. The self-feed bit excels at boring clean holes in wet/treated lumber; its chip-ejecting tooth geometry prevents clogging when drilling multiple holes.
Desk Cable Pass-Through Blocks
Create small hardwood blocks or grommet strips with 1 in pass-throughs for monitor and charger cables. Ease edges with a round-over for a finished look. The bit’s self-feeding tip keeps holes consistent across a series, ideal for making sets.
