Milwaukee 48-13-6000 Ship Auger Bit 1x18 Inch

Product Description

The Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp 48-13-6000 is a 1-inch by 18-inch ship auger bit engineered for fast, clean hole drilling in both clean lumber and nail-embedded wood. The through-center cutting design reduces friction and extends blade life when the bit contacts embedded fasteners. Flutes feature a non-stick coating that promotes rapid, smooth chip ejection, which is especially valuable when boring deep holes where clogging is common. The shank is impact-rated, making this bit compatible with impact drivers and heavy-duty drills used across multiple trades.

This ship auger bit is suited for residential and commercial rough-in work where drilling through framing, joists, and plates is routine. Electricians pulling wire through stud bays, plumbers running drain or supply lines through floor systems, and utility workers boring through structural members will find the 18-inch length gives adequate reach without extension accessories. The 1-inch diameter matches common conduit, pipe, and cable rough-in requirements across trades.

Key Features

• Through-center cutting design improves durability and performance in nail-embedded wood
• Non-stick flute coating enables fast, smooth chip ejection in deep-hole applications
• Impact-rated shank works with impact drivers and heavy-duty rotary drills
• 1-inch diameter by 18-inch length covers common rough-in boring tasks

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-purchase auger bit compatible with standard hex-shank and round-shank drill chucks used in residential and commercial rough-in drilling applications.

Installation Notes

A licensed electrician, plumber, or qualified tradesperson should operate this bit in accordance with applicable NEC, IPC, or IFGC clearance requirements when boring through structural members. Before drilling, confirm no live electrical conductors, pressurized lines, or load-bearing fasteners are present in the boring path. Wear appropriate eye and hand protection, as contact with embedded nails can eject debris at high velocity. Allow the bit to clear chips fully on deep passes to prevent binding.
