Question: Can use a 24 inch auger bit with this unit
Answer: No, a 24-inch (61 cm) long auger bit will not fit in the Mafell 961216 BST 650 S Drilling Station, as it has a maximum drill length of only 25-9/16 inches (which is roughly equivalent to 650mm). The constraint isn't the total length but the bit's maximum tool diameter, which is limited to 5-1/8 inches (130mm) at a 0-degree angle and 3-15/16 inches (100mm) at a 45-degree angle.
Here's a breakdown of why a large diameter bit won't work:
Maximum Tool Diameter: The BST 650 S drilling station has a maximum tool diameter of 5-1/8 inches (130mm). A 24-inch auger bit is a diameter, not a length. You may be referring to a 24-inch long bit. The station is designed for larger bits than a standard drill bit but not for the largest of augers.
Compatible Bits: The station is designed to be compatible with high-quality Wood Owl bits.
Compatibility with Other Drills: The station is compatible with the Mafell A 18M BI and some Makita drills, not just Mafell drills.
Therefore, if you are trying to use a bit with a diameter of 24 inches, you will be disappointed. You need to check the maximum drill diameter of your specific bit, not its length.
