Milwaukee 48-13-0503 Ship Auger Bit 1/2 X 6 Inch

Product Description

The Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp 48-13-0503 is a 1/2-inch by 6-inch ship auger bit engineered for fast, clean hole drilling in both clean and nail-embedded wood. The through-center cutting design extends service life when the bit contacts embedded fasteners, a common challenge in retrofit electrical, plumbing, and utility work. Flutes feature a non-stick coating that promotes rapid, smooth chip ejection, which is especially important in deep-hole applications where chip packing slows progress and generates heat. The shank is impact-rated, making it compatible with both standard drills and high-torque impact drivers used across the trades.

This bit is suited for residential and commercial rough-in work where drilling through framing, joists, plates, or wall assemblies is required. Electricians running conduit or wire, plumbers boring for pipe runs, and utility workers drilling access holes through structural members will find this bit appropriate for their daily workflow. It ships in a reusable hanging container and is sold in a package quantity of 6 units, making it practical for stocking a service van or job-site tool kit.

Key Features

• Through-center cutting design improves durability and performance in nail-embedded wood
• Non-stick coated flutes reduce friction and promote fast, smooth chip ejection in deep holes
• Impact-rated shank adds versatility for use with impact drivers and standard drill drivers
• 1/2-inch diameter by 6-inch length suits common rough-in boring applications
• Reusable hanging container keeps bits organized on the job site
• Sold in a package of 6 for efficient stocking

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/2-inch chuck drills and impact-rated drivers; suited for boring through clean or nail-embedded dimensional lumber, framing members, and wood assemblies in electrical, plumbing, and utility applications.

Installation Notes

Installation of this bit is performed by electricians, plumbers, and general trade professionals during rough-in drilling operations. Ensure the drill or impact driver is powered off and the chuck is fully tightened before beginning any bore. When drilling through wall or floor assemblies, verify the layout for hidden utilities before drilling. Always wear appropriate eye protection when boring through nail-embedded or debris-laden wood.
