Milwaukee 48-27-0015 Flat Boring Bit 1.25 Inches 6 Pack

Product Description

The Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp 48-27-0015 is a 1.25-inch flat boring bit designed for fast, clean through-bores in wood framing, sheathing, and structural lumber. At 4.5 inches in length, it provides adequate depth for drilling through standard dimensional lumber in a single pass. The flat-paddle profile seats firmly in a brace, hand brace, or power drill chuck and is sized for the common rough-in diameters required by plumbers, electricians, and HVAC technicians running pipe, conduit, or duct penetrations through wood members. This bit is sold as a 6-pack, making it a practical bench or van stock item for trade professionals who go through bits regularly on production work or service calls.

This flat boring bit is suited to residential and light commercial rough-in applications. Electricians use it for NM cable and conduit runs through studs and top plates. Plumbers rely on this diameter for common supply and drain penetrations. HVAC installers use it for low-voltage control wire and refrigerant line set passages through wood framing. The 1.25-inch cut diameter aligns with standard rough-in clearances for these applications.

Key Features

• 1.25-inch cutting diameter suits common rough-in clearances for pipe, conduit, and wire runs

Installation Notes

Flat boring bits are installed and used by licensed electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians during rough-in framing stages. Confirm power tools are unplugged or batteries removed before changing bits. When boring through framing near existing wiring, plumbing, or structural elements, follow NEC, IPC, and IFGC clearance requirements as applicable to the trade. Do not exceed the recommended drill speed for the bit diameter, and back the bit out periodically on deep bores to clear chips and reduce binding.
