Milwaukee 48-13-0870 Auger Bit 7/8 X 6.5 Inches

Product Description

The Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp 48-13-0870 is a 7/8-inch auger bit designed for boring clean, consistent holes in wood, plastic, and metal. Built from high-quality steel, this bit features a self-feeding tip that pulls itself through material, reducing the effort required from the operator and improving drilling speed and control. At 6.5 inches in length, it reaches into framing cavities, wall assemblies, and structural members where shorter bits cannot. Electricians, plumbers, and general contractors rely on auger bits like this one for rough-in drilling through studs, plates, and joists during new construction and remodel work.

This auger bit is suited for trade applications where repetitive hole-boring through dimensional lumber, engineered wood products, plastic conduit knock-outs, and light-gauge material is required. The self-feeding design is particularly useful when working overhead or in confined spaces where continuous feed pressure is difficult to maintain. Compatible with standard 7/16-inch hex chuck drills and right-angle drill attachments commonly used in electrical and plumbing rough-in.

Key Features

• Self-feeding tip design reduces manual feed pressure and improves boring efficiency
• High-quality steel construction for durability through repetitive trade use
• 7/8-inch diameter for standard rough-in hole sizing
• 6.5-inch length accesses framing cavities and wall assemblies
• Suitable for wood, plastic, and metal materials

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 7/16-inch hex chuck drills and right-angle drill drivers commonly used in electrical, plumbing, and carpentry rough-in applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians, plumbers, or carpenters during rough-in phases. Ensure the drill chuck is fully seated and secured before operating at speed. When boring near structural members, follow applicable building code requirements for notching and boring limitations under the IRC and IPC. Always confirm no live wires, pipes, or obstructions are present in the drilling path before beginning.
