Speaking of auger bits have you seen the new ones by Rigid? They only have one spiral at the cutting end with a screw tip, and the rest is just a small diameter shank. They were selling them at Home Depot for $12.00 for three in a package. They are not long, only 6 inches but they do cut thru the wood fast. Maybe spirals up the whole length are not really needed, as they do clog up.
