Milwaukee 48-13-0933 Ship Auger Bit 15/16 in Alloy Steel

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE 48-13-0933 is a 15/16-inch diameter ship auger bit engineered for drilling through clean and nail-embedded wood. Built from alloy steel with a hardened, one-face 20-degree rake angle, it delivers aggressive cutting action while resisting damage from embedded fasteners. The polished and coated flutes shed chips continuously, preventing buildup even in sap-laden or adhesive-treated lumber. The through-center cutting design concentrates force directly against nails, reducing deflection and tip damage. An impact-rated shank allows use with both standard drills and impact wrenches. Electricians, plumbers, and general contractors reach for this bit when boring through framing members in demanding field conditions.

This ship auger bit is suited for residential and commercial rough-in work where boring through structural lumber is routine. Common applications include running Romex wire, PEX water lines, rebar, bolts, and rope through framing, piers, playground equipment, and landscaping timbers. The extended shaft length allows deep holes and overhead drilling without an extension. The wider flute geometry maintains chip clearance in deep-bore situations where standard auger bits pack and stall.

Key Features

• Hardened alloy steel construction with 20-degree rake angle for nail resistance and fast sharpening
• Polished and coated nonstick flute finish prevents chip buildup in sap or glue-treated wood
• Through-center cutting tip design concentrates striking force directly against embedded nails
• Impact-rated shank compatible with standard drills and impact wrenches
• Wider flute profile promotes maximum chip removal in deep holes
• Extended shaft length supports deep or overhead drilling without an extension

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard hex-shank drill chucks and impact wrenches; part of the Milwaukee ship auger bit line covering a range of diameters and applications.

Installation Notes

Installation of this bit is typically performed by electricians, plumbers, or carpenters during rough-in phases. Confirm the drill or impact wrench chuck is fully seated and locked before operation. When boring near structural members, follow applicable building codes for minimum edge distances to avoid compromising framing integrity. Wear appropriate eye protection, as nail strikes can eject metal fragments at high velocity.
