Product Description
Milwaukee Flat Boring Bit 1-1/2 in. x 6 in.
Model Number: 48-27-1501
The Milwaukee 48-27-1501 is a 1-1/2 in. x 6 in. Flat Boring Bit — the largest standard flat boring bit in Milwaukee's lineup for the largest rough-in bore holes required for maximum plumbing drain and vent pipe sizes, large flexible conduit systems, and structural applications requiring the maximum standard boring bit diameter through wood framing. At 1-1/2 in., this is the largest bore that the flat boring bit format covers — the bore size for 1-1/4 in. plumbing drain pipe rough-in, large flexible conduit, structural bolts in timber-frame construction, and any application where the maximum standard boring bit diameter is specified for the pipe, fitting, or hardware system being installed. The flat boring geometry produces holes with flat bottoms, smooth cylindrical sidewalls, and clean entry and exit faces — the entry face quality is particularly important at this large diameter where any tear-out would require significant patching for fire-rated assemblies and where the large hole size is more visible if poorly cut.
Heat-treated high carbon steel maintains the cutting edge sharpness needed for clean, consistent large-bore holes through the high daily drilling volumes of commercial plumbing and HVAC rough-in projects where many 1-1/2 in. holes are required for completion. The self-centering tip prevents bit walking and positions the hole accurately at the marked center — important at the largest standard boring bit size where a mislocated hole that must be patched and redrilled creates a significantly larger repair requirement than smaller bore errors. The 6 in. working length handles standard single-member framing dimensions in residential and commercial construction. Available in 16 in. extended length for multi-member drilling applications.
Milwaukee's flat boring bit range covers 1/4 in. through 1-1/2 in. in both 6 in. and 16 in. lengths — see the complete lineup for all available sizes.
