Product Description
Milwaukee 7/8 in. x 6-1/2 in. Auger Bit
Model Number: 48-13-0870
The Milwaukee 48-13-0870 is a 7/8 in. x 6-1/2 in. 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 7/8 in. bore provides the correct clearance for specific conduit fittings, flexible conduit systems, and plumbing applications requiring this precise bore diameter between the common adjacent 3/4 in. and 1 in. sizes. The self-feed screw tip automatically advances the bit through wood under its own rotational force for efficient, low-fatigue drilling during production rough-in work, and Milwaukee's through-center cutting design provides improved durability in nail-embedded retrofit and remodel drilling conditions. Non-stick coated flutes promote fast, continuous chip ejection throughout the bore depth, preventing progressive chip packing that slows standard auger designs in sustained drilling sessions.
The 6-1/2 in. working length is the standard compact configuration for most single-member framing penetrations — handling standard stud, joist, and rafter dimensions in both residential and commercial wood-frame construction while providing the depth needed for thicker-than-standard framing members encountered in commercial projects. The 7/8 in. diameter is a specialty size that falls between the more common 3/4 in. and 1 in. specifications — it serves the specific conduit fitting sizes, flexible conduit systems, and structural bolt applications that call for exactly 7/8 in. bore, providing the right tool for these applications without requiring tradespeople to use an adjacent standard size that doesn't match the installation requirement. Available in 18 in. length for deep multi-member assemblies where the standard length falls short of the required penetration depth.
Milwaukee's auger bit range covers 3/8 in. through 1-1/2 in. in both standard and extended length configurations — see the complete lineup for all available diameters and lengths.
