Product Description
Milwaukee 7/8 in. x 18 in. Ship Auger Bit
Model Number: 48-13-5870
The Milwaukee 48-13-5870 is a 7/8 in. x 18 in. Ship Auger Bit for drilling deep, clean holes through framing lumber, dimensional wood, and nail-embedded wood in electrical, plumbing, and mechanical rough-in applications where the 7/8 in. diameter and 18 in. working length are both required for the specific penetration depth through multiple stacked framing members or deep structural assemblies. The 7/8 in. diameter serves the specific conduit fittings, flexible conduit systems, and structural applications requiring this precise bore size between the more common adjacent 3/4 in. and 1 in. specifications. 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 and remodel drilling conditions where embedded nails and fasteners are encountered during drilling.
The 18 in. working length provides the deep reach required for drilling through multiple stacked framing members, double top plates, and thick timber sections that the standard 6-1/2 in. configuration cannot penetrate from a single drill position. Non-stick coated flutes maintain fast, continuous chip ejection from the full 18 in. bore depth — at 7/8 in. diameter, the chip volume per revolution is substantial, and effective flute chip transport over the full 18 in. depth is critical for maintaining drilling speed without binding. The 18 in. version is the right tool for multi-member assemblies in commercial construction where single-story framing with double plates, thick floor systems, and layered structural sections regularly require drilling depths that exceed what standard auger lengths can reach from a single drill setup position.
Available in 6-1/2 in. standard length — Milwaukee's auger bit range covers 3/8 in. through 1-1/2 in. in both standard and 18 in. extended length configurations.
