        Hi Coach Dave, Thanks for your reply. I had already cut around some of the pipe and pulled out the top plus some. I need to remove even more for stump grinding. The bottom is inaccessible because it's straight down, deep into the stump and roots. Driving it further down may be possible, but it's heavily corroded and I wouldn't know the result for certain. Regards, Stumped

          Definitely not. You'd ruin the bit and get nowhere. These bits are only for wood, not metal. You could use a smaller, less expensive bit and drill into the wood all around the pipe. Don't hit the pipe with the drill. Eventually you'll weaken the wood surrounding the pipe enough that you can pull it out. If you have a tractor with bucket or a winch or engine hoist, you could use a HSS drill bit to drill into the side of the pipe, then hook into the hole you made in the pipe and power it out that way.

            Howdy Stumped, This most likely would not work. If you can cut the top and bottom, you could simply drive it out of the stump. If not, then perhaps just cutting the top of the pipe off. happy cutting, Coach Dave

              It wasn't available at my local store so I ordered it on line It was shipped to me in only a couple days. It's best to check your local stores inventory.

                Worked well at first, but it didn't seem to last
                I was building a gravel shed foundation and was looking for something to drill through 5" landscape ties and this worked well for about half of the project but then started slowing down. The bit didn't seem to be that sharp anymore so I switched over to a 12" bit I had to finish the majority of the project. Was fairly disappointed in how quickly it seemed to go dull.

                  I used this auger bit today on a deck I'm building. I was drilling through three 2x12's and a 4x4 post to install 5/8" carriage bolts. It cut through like butter and expelled all the shavings as it progressed. I didn't hit any nails, so I can't comment on it's ability (as advertised) to deal with such, but it sure went through wet pressure treated lumber with ease. I got this drill to replace augers made by Bosch that I also purchased at Home Depot. A word of caution, the Bosch augers are so aggressive that they bore too deep too quickly and end up binding. In my case it caused the bit to stop and swung the body of the drill around nearly breaking my hand. I'm not a little guy and was using both handles on the 1/2 drill, still, I just couldn't stop it. The Bosch augers are dangerous and I threw both of mine in the trash. This Milwaukee auger worked like a dream.

                  This Bit was perfect for drilling holes in Railroad Ties, while replacing several rotted Ties in an existing Tie Wall. Prior to buying this bit, I burned up 2 spade bits. The higher cost of this bit is WELL worth the expense. It held up Great!!! I would definitely recommend this bit for any serious drilling.
