Product Description
Milwaukee 5/8 in. x 6 in. Ship Auger Bit
Model Number: 48-13-0623
The Milwaukee 48-13-0623 is a 5/8 in. x 6 in. Ship Auger Bit for drilling clean, fast holes through framing lumber, dimensional wood, and nail-embedded wood in electrical, plumbing, and mechanical rough-in applications where the 5/8 in. bore accommodates larger NM cable bundles, 1/2 in. flexible conduit, and specific plumbing rough-in applications requiring a precisely 5/8 in. opening through wood framing. The 5/8 in. diameter ship auger is a commonly stocked rough-in bit for electricians who route flexible conduit and multi-conductor cable through framing members throughout residential and light commercial rough-in work — the bore is large enough for the routing requirements while minimizing the cross-section reduction in framing members relative to larger 3/4 in. and 1 in. bore sizes. Milwaukee's through-center cutting design provides improved durability in nail-embedded wood drilling common in retrofit and remodel applications through existing structures.
The self-feed screw tip advances the bit through wood automatically under its own rotational force, allowing fast drilling without the heavy sustained downward drill pressure that causes operator fatigue during production rough-in drilling from below joists, overhead through top plates, and in other positions where maintaining pressure is particularly tiring. Non-stick coated flutes maintain fast chip ejection from the bore depth, preventing chip packing that slows standard auger designs progressively during production drilling. The standard 6 in. working length handles typical single-member framing dimensions in standard stud, joist, and rafter sizes while fitting the confined clearances inside wall and floor assemblies during active rough-in work. For deeper reach through multiple members and double plates, the 18 in. version of this bit provides the extended working depth required.
Available in 18 in. length — Milwaukee ship auger bits cover 3/8 in. through 1-1/2 in. in both 6 in. and 18 in. configurations for complete rough-in coverage.
