Product Description
Milwaukee 1 in. x 6-1/2 in. Auger Bit
Model Number: 48-13-1000
The Milwaukee 48-13-1000 is a 1 in. x 6-1/2 in. Auger Bit for drilling clean, fast holes through framing lumber, dimensional wood, engineered wood products, and nail-embedded wood in electrical, plumbing, and mechanical rough-in work. The 1 in. diameter is one of the most commonly drilled sizes in commercial rough-in — providing the correct bore for 3/4 in. EMT and IMC conduit, 3/4 in. flexible conduit systems, and medium-diameter plumbing pipe penetrations through wood framing where the hole size must provide adequate clearance for the material being routed. The self-feed screw tip automatically advances the auger bit through the wood under its own rotational force, eliminating the heavy manual downward drill pressure that fatigues operators during sustained overhead and horizontal drilling on rough-in projects. Milwaukee's through-center cutting design provides improved bit life in the nail-embedded wood conditions encountered in retrofit and remodel drilling — the geometry distributes impact loads more symmetrically when the bit contacts embedded nails and fasteners, preventing the tip fracture that ends conventional auger bits prematurely.
Non-stick coated flutes promote continuous chip ejection throughout the drilling depth, preventing the progressive chip packing in the flute channels that slows drilling speed and risks bit breakage from stalled-bit torsional stress in deeper holes. The 6-1/2 in. working length handles standard single-member framing penetrations in typical stud, joist, and rafter dimensions while providing sufficient depth for thicker-than-standard framing members and built-up sections. The 1 in. diameter at this length is a staple tool for commercial electricians who drill hundreds of conduit holes per day through wood framing and need the combination of self-feed speed, non-stick chip ejection, and through-center nail tolerance that Milwaukee's ship auger design provides over conventional bare auger designs.
Available in 18 in. length for drilling through double members and deep timber sections — see Milwaukee's auger bit lineup for the complete range of diameters from 1/2 in. through 1-1/4 in. in both standard and extended lengths.
