Product Description
Milwaukee 9/16 in. x 18 in. Ship Auger Bit
Model Number: 48-13-5560
The Milwaukee 48-13-5560 is a 9/16 in. x 18 in. Ship Auger Bit for drilling deep holes through framing lumber, dimensional wood, and nail-embedded wood in electrical, plumbing, and mechanical rough-in applications where the 9/16 in. bore and 18 in. working length are both required for the specific penetration depth through multiple stacked framing members. The 9/16 in. diameter is a specialty size between the common 1/2 in. and 5/8 in. adjacent sizes, serving specific conduit fitting systems, flexible conduit configurations, and hardware applications that specify this exact bore for the fitting or system being installed. The self-feed screw tip automatically advances the bit through wood under its own rotational force, and Milwaukee's through-center cutting design provides improved durability in nail-embedded retrofit conditions where fasteners embedded in existing framing are regularly encountered.
The 18 in. working length enables drilling through double top plates, multiple joists, built-up headers, and thick timber sections in commercial construction where the standard 6-1/2 in. configuration cannot penetrate the complete assembly depth from a single accessible face. Non-stick coated flutes maintain continuous chip ejection from the full 18 in. depth, preventing the progressive chip packing that slows drilling speed in sustained deep boring at this size. The 18 in. specialty configuration addresses the specific need for both the non-standard 9/16 in. bore and extended reach simultaneously — a requirement that appears in commercial construction where specific conduit systems and building designs combine to create this precise specification need at assembly depths that exceed standard bit capabilities.
Available in 6-1/2 in. standard length — Milwaukee's ship auger range covers 3/8 in. through 1-1/2 in. in both standard and 18 in. extended configurations.
