Engineered specifically for the most punishing sub-strata, this 500mm auger is designed to penetrate non-fracturable rock, including reinforced concrete, high-grade basalt, and granite. Where standard earth or combo augers would simply bounce or wear prematurely, the DR6 utilises a heavy-duty cutting head equipped with rotating tungsten carbide rock picks that \"graze\" the rock surface, grinding it down with relentless efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eBuilt to handle the immense torque of 5-tonne to 8-tonne excavators and high-flow skid steers, the DR6 features a robust 75mm square drive hub and a thick-walled centre tube for maximum structural integrity. The 500mm diameter is a substantial size, frequently utilised for large foundation piers, significant structural footings, and commercial civil applications that require keying into bedrock. Manufactured in Australia to endure the harshest site conditions, this auger ensures that even the toughest geology won't compromise your project timeline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCompatible with Auger Torque S5 75mm Square Drive Hubs\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eKey Product Features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eRotating Rock Picks:\u003c\/b\u003e Features heavy-duty, rotatable tungsten carbide teeth that self-sharpen as they work, ensuring consistent cutting performance in high-PSI rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eAustralian Made:\u003c\/b\u003e Precision-engineered and manufactured locally to survive the absolute extremes of the Australian construction and mining sectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003e75mm Square Drive:\u003c\/b\u003e Equipped with a heavy-duty reinforced hub designed to manage the high torque output of PD5 to PD8HF planetary drive units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eHeavy-Duty Flighting:\u003c\/b\u003e Constructed with thick steel flights and reinforced wear strips to resist the high levels of abrasion found in rock boring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePrecision Rock Pilot:\u003c\/b\u003e The heavy-duty pilot bit provides a secure anchor point, preventing the auger from \"walking\" or vibrating off-centre when starting a hole on hard stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eOptimised Spoil Lifting:\u003c\/b\u003e The flighting pitch is meticulously designed to clear crushed rock fragments quickly, reducing heat build-up and protecting the integrity of the teeth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSpecifications \u0026amp; Sizes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e DR6 (Dedicated Rock)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSuits:\u003c\/b\u003e 5t – 8t Excavators \/ High-Flow Skid Steers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/b\u003e 500mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eOverall Length:\u003c\/b\u003e 1500mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDrive Hub:\u003c\/b\u003e 75mm Square\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTeeth:\u003c\/b\u003e Rotating Tungsten Carbide Rock Picks\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,6,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,6,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eFlighting:\u003c\/b\u003e Heavy-Duty Steel with Reinforced Wear Strips\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"14\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eIn what ground conditions should I use the DR6?\u003c\/b\u003e The DR6 is a specialist tool for non-fracturable rock. It is the correct choice for solid sandstone, limestone, granite, and reinforced concrete. If you are drilling in a mix of earth and soft shale, the RC6 series may be faster, but for pure rock, the DR6 is the industry standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eHow do the rotating picks differ from standard teeth?\u003c\/b\u003e Standard earth teeth are fixed, whereas DR6 rock picks are designed to rotate within their holders. This rotation prevents flat spots and ensures the tungsten tip wears evenly, effectively self-sharpening the tool to maintain maximum penetration speeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"17\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"17\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCan I use this auger on a standard-flow skid steer?\u003c\/b\u003e While it may fit the hub, the DR6 requires significant torque and downward \"crowd\" pressure to be effective in rock. It is best paired with larger excavators or high-flow loaders equipped with a drive unit capable of 5,000Nm to 10,000Nm of torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"18\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"18\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eAre the rock picks easy to replace?\u003c\/b\u003e Yes. The picks are secured by heavy-duty retainers and can be swapped out quickly on-site with a Rotating Rock Pick Removal Tool (C123), also available from Earthmoving Warehouse. Regularly inspecting your teeth is vital to minimise downtime and ensure the auger body is not exposed to unnecessary wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-path-to-node=\"19\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"20\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"20\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhy Choose the DR6 Series?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"21\"\u003eWhen your contract involves drilling into the bedrock, you cannot afford to rely on \"all-purpose\" tools. The DR6 Dedicated Rock series provides the specialist mechanical advantage required to turn solid stone into spoil. By choosing Digga, you are investing in a tool that prioritises durability and operator efficiency, ensuring a professional finish in ground that would stall any other attachment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePROUDLY PRODUCED AND MANUFACTURED IN AUSTRALIA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Digga","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34890625548438,"sku":"Digga-DR6-20-5","price":3055.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0296\/9658\/9957\/products\/Digga-500mm-Auger-DR6-rotating-pick-auger-75mm-square-drive.png?v=1609298907","url":"https:\/\/www.earthmovingwarehouse.com.au\/products\/500mm-dr6-dedicated-rock-auger-digga","provider":"Earthmoving Warehouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
