Drill depth vs. cut tap depth in blind hole

Steve:

I think your spell checker turned fluted into flights. But no matter. A wood screw's flutes probably would tend to lift chips and debris - as long as it was turning clockwise viewed from the top.

A post hole auger is kinda like a large wood screw, watch the following video - the tractor not the guy in front. Now imagine if the auger was turning the opposite direction - do you think it would it work as well?

And on an auger it's flight/s not flutes.

Now that's cool, I didn't know that.

But it seems the spaces between the flights are still called flutes. So an auger has flutes & flights.
