Product Description
Milwaukee 1/2 in. x 6 in. Speed Feed Wood Bit
Model Number: 48-13-0048
The Milwaukee 48-13-0048 is a 1/2 in. x 6 in. Speed Feed Self-Feeding Wood Bit — a high-speed production boring bit for the 1/2 in. diameter used for small flexible conduit, specific plumbing rough-in, and installation applications requiring exactly a 1/2 in. bore through wood framing. The Speed Feed design uses a precision-ground replaceable feed screw that provides more aggressive self-advancing action per revolution than standard self-feed auger designs — the Speed Feed's sharper, higher-pitch screw tip pulls the bit into the wood faster for drilling speeds that outpace standard self-feed bits in the same materials. The replaceable feed screw is the Speed Feed's key service advantage — when the tip dulls from contact with embedded nails, aggregate, or hard grain, the screw can be replaced independently at low cost (48-28-6870 coarse thread or 48-28-6880 fine thread) without replacing the complete bit body, significantly extending the bit body's productive service life.
The 1/2 in. diameter provides the correct bore for small flexible conduit systems, specific hardware applications, and plumbing rough-in where 1/2 in. is specified for the fitting or conduit system being installed. Non-stick coated flutes maintain fast chip ejection from the bore to prevent chip packing that slows drilling speed progressively in sustained production use. The 6 in. working length handles standard single-member framing dimensions for residential and commercial construction. Milwaukee designs the Speed Feed's screw pitch and bit geometry specifically for the 1/2 in. diameter's cutting resistance characteristics, ensuring the self-advancing action is effective and productive at this smaller bore size where the lower drilling resistance allows the feed screw to advance the bit efficiently with minimal motor loading.
