Product Description
Milwaukee 3/4 in. x 6 in. Speed Feed Wood Bit
Model Number: 48-13-0068
The Milwaukee 48-13-0068 is a 3/4 in. x 6 in. Speed Feed Self-Feeding Wood Bit — a professional-grade large-diameter flat wood boring bit engineered for drilling fast, clean holes through framing lumber, joists, studs, plates, and engineered wood products for electrical rough-in, plumbing rough-in, HVAC ductwork routing, and low-voltage cable installations in wood-frame residential and commercial construction. The 3/4 in. diameter is one of the most frequently drilled sizes in electrical and plumbing rough-in work — it accommodates flexible conduit, NM cable bundles, and small plumbing penetrations through framing where the hole size must match the material being routed without unnecessarily oversizing the opening. Milwaukee's Speed Feed self-feeding mechanism uses a precision-machined threaded feed screw at the tip of the bit that automatically pulls the entire bit assembly into the wood under rotational force, advancing the bit without requiring the operator to apply heavy sustained downward drilling pressure — the primary cause of arm and shoulder fatigue on high-volume drilling days.
The double wing spur design scores the full perimeter of the hole cleanly before the main cutting face removes the interior material — this two-stage cutting action produces clean, well-defined hole edges with minimal wood fiber tear-out on both entry and exit faces of through-holes. Clean holes reduce fiber interference during cable and conduit routing and produce a professional installation result that meets inspection standards for visible rough-in work. The Speed Feed design delivers up to 10 times faster drilling speed than standard spade bits of the same diameter — on a rough-in job involving hundreds of 3/4 in. holes, this speed advantage represents hours of saved labor time per day that directly impacts project schedule and labor cost. The Milwaukee selfeed bit accepts Milwaukee selfeed extension bits for drilling through double members and built-up structural sections without repositioning the drill setup.
Individual bit replacement purchasing is economical for contractors who need a specific size replacement without buying a complete set — see Milwaukee's complete Speed Feed set options for full diameter range coverage in a single purchase.
