Milwaukee 48-13-0078 Speed Feed Wood Bit 7/8x6 in

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE 48-13-0078 is a Speed Feed self-feeding wood boring bit designed for fast, clean hole drilling in wood framing and rough carpentry applications. Measuring 7/8 inches in diameter and 6 inches in length, this bit uses a center feed screw and dual cutting edges to pull itself through material and remove waste efficiently. Double wing spurs score the perimeter of the hole before the cutting edges engage, producing a clean entry and exit. Electricians and rough-in carpenters rely on bits like this for boring through studs, joists, and plates when running wire or hardware fasteners.

This bit is suited for residential and light commercial framing work where high-volume boring is required. The self-feeding design reduces the operator pressure needed compared to standard flat boring or spade bits, making it practical for repetitive drilling tasks in structural lumber. It is commonly used by electricians, plumbers, and HVAC installers when routing conduit, wire, or pipe through wood framing members.

Key Features

• Self-feeding center screw pulls the bit through material without heavy operator pressure
• Double wing spurs score the hole perimeter for a cleaner entry point
• Dual cutting edges allow fast material removal with reduced tear-out
• 6-inch length provides reach through standard framing members and double plates
• 7/8-inch diameter suits common wire-routing and bolt-passage applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard hex or round-shank wood boring bit compatible with corded and cordless drills and right-angle drill attachments that accept 7/8-inch shank tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation of this bit is performed by electricians, plumbers, HVAC installers, and carpenters during rough-in framing stages. Ensure the drill is set to an appropriate speed for the material being bored and that the work piece is secured before starting. When boring near existing wiring or pipe, de-energize circuits and shut off supply lines per NEC and applicable local codes before drilling. Wear appropriate eye protection when operating boring bits in overhead or confined framing spaces.
