Product Description

The Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp 48-25-5150 is a 2-9/16 inch Switchblade Self-Feed Bit designed for drilling large-diameter holes in wood framing materials including beams, planks, boards, logs, and timber lumber. The replaceable blade is constructed from hardened steel and features an aggressive feed screw design that reduces the effort required to drive through dense wood. A hexagonal shank provides a secure grip in the drill chuck. This bit requires a minimum chuck size of 1/2 inch and is recommended for use in continuous torque drills. Licensed electricians, plumbers, and HVAC installers rely on this tool for routing pipe, vents, gas lines, and bulk wire through structural lumber.

This self-feed bit is suited for residential and light commercial rough-in work where large-bore holes are needed through dimensional lumber, engineered beams, or log structures. Common applications include running electrical conduit, PVC drain lines, gas supply tubing, and HVAC flex duct through floor joists and wall plates. The included replaceable blade system extends the service life of the bit body, making it a practical choice for high-volume drilling tasks on job sites. Compatible with the 48-25-5550 replacement blade set for continued field serviceability.
