Boring bit (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

auger

'boring bit' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for auger that I've seen before include "Tool with spiral point for boring" , "Boring-tool" , "I bore" , "Boring instrument" , "something that's boring" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
