Product Description
Milwaukee 5/8 in. x 6-1/2 in. Auger Bit
Model Number: 48-13-0725
The Milwaukee 48-13-0725 is a 5/8 in. x 6-1/2 in. Auger Bit designed for fast, accurate hole drilling in wood, dimensional lumber, timbers, and engineered wood products for electricians, plumbers, HVAC installers, and utility workers who need clean, properly-sized holes for wire and cable routing, conduit penetrations, pipe rough-in, and bolt holes through wood framing and structural members. The 5/8 in. diameter is a frequently specified bore size for larger-gauge NM cable bundles, 1/2 in. flexible conduit, standard plumbing rough-in holes, and structural bolt holes in light framing applications — it is a size that rough-in tradespeople drill repeatedly throughout a workday and need to complete quickly and cleanly at every location without excessive setup time or tool changes. Milwaukee engineers its auger bits with the self-feed screw tip that pulls the bit into the wood under its own rotational force, eliminating the heavy manual drill pressure that causes operator fatigue during the sustained overhead and horizontal drilling that characterizes electrical and plumbing rough-in work in wood-frame construction.
The coated flutes create a non-stick surface that promotes fast, continuous chip ejection throughout the drilling depth — preventing the chip packing and bit binding in the flute channels that slows standard auger bits progressively as hole depth increases. The through-center cutting tip geometry improves bit performance and service life when drilling in nail-embedded wood, distributing the impact load more effectively than conventional auger tip designs when the bit contacts embedded fasteners during retrofit drilling in existing wood framing. The 6-1/2 in. working length provides adequate reach for most single-member framing penetrations in standard stud, joist, and rafter dimensions while remaining short enough for comfortable, controlled drilling in the overhead and horizontal positions common in rough-in work.
Milwaukee auger bits are available in diameters from 1/2 in. through 1-1/4 in. in standard 6 in. to 6-1/2 in. lengths and in extended 18 in. lengths for deep drilling through multiple framing members and structural assemblies.
