Milwaukee 48-13-5750 Ship Auger Bit 3/4 X 18 Inch

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE ELECTRIC TOOL CORP 48-13-5750 is a 3/4-inch by 18-inch ship auger bit engineered for fast, clean hole drilling in both clean lumber and nail-embedded wood. A through-center cutting design extends bit life when driving through fastener-laden framing and structural members. The flutes feature a non-stick coating that promotes smooth, rapid chip ejection, which is especially critical in deep-hole applications where clogging slows progress. The shank is impact-rated, allowing the bit to pair with high-torque impact drivers and right-angle drills without risk of shank failure. Electricians, plumbers, and utility tradespeople reach for this bit when running conduit, pipe, or cable through framing.

This ship auger bit is suited for residential and commercial rough-in work where boring through multiple studs, joists, or plates is routine. Its 18-inch length gives enough reach to clear thick framing assemblies in a single pass. The impact-rated shank adds versatility across trades, allowing use with both standard drill/drivers and heavy-duty impact drivers. It performs in green lumber, engineered wood, and reclaimed or nail-embedded material without requiring the operator to pre-locate fasteners.

Key Features

• Through-center cutting design improves durability and penetration in nail-embedded wood
• Non-stick flute coating reduces friction and speeds chip ejection in deep holes
• Impact-rated shank handles high-torque drill and impact driver use
• 3/4-inch diameter suits standard conduit, pipe, and cable rough-in hole sizes
• 18-inch length clears deep framing assemblies in a single pass
• Suitable for electricians, plumbers, and utility trades in clean or nail-embedded lumber

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use auger bit compatible with 1/2-inch chuck drill/drivers and high-torque impact drivers that accept hex or round shanks rated for ship auger bits.

Installation Notes

Installation of this bit is performed by licensed electricians, plumbers, and general tradespeople during rough-in framing stages. Inspect the shank for wear or deformation before each use and confirm the chuck is fully seated and locked before drilling. Keep bystanders clear of the drill line when boring through walls or floors, as nail contact can cause sudden torque reaction. Follow applicable NEC or IPC clearance requirements when sizing holes for conduit or pipe runs.
