A practical set of older William Ridgeway Jennings pattern augers in excellent order, 4 to 8 by sixteenths (¼-½), then to 16 by eights plus a 1¼" centre bit and a double ended screwdriver. The ½" auger has seen more use than the others but still has many more holes to make, so we have left it in but also included a spare.
Established in 1878 and based first in Rockingham Street and later Edward Street, Wm Ridgway became one of Sheffield’s most prolific manufacturers of wood boring tools. Thanks to their excellent natural stability, Jennings pattern auger bits tend to be the preferred choice of furniture makers.
Supplied in a new British made auger roll with a new auger bit file.
