Milwaukee 48-27-0175 Spade Bit 1/2x16 Inch Wood Boring

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE ELECTRIC TOOL CORP 48-27-0175 is a 1/2-inch by 16-inch spade bit engineered for clean hole drilling in wood. The patented cutting edge design bores faster than conventional spade bits and removes chips quickly, reducing clogging during extended use. Double wing spurs cut the perimeter of the hole before the center, minimizing splintering and reducing vibration throughout the stroke. The 1/4-inch quick-change hex shank is compatible with all universal Quik Lok extensions, allowing fast bit swaps without removing the chuck from the drill.

This spade bit is suited for residential and light commercial construction, rough framing, and finish carpentry applications where electricians, plumbers, and general contractors need to bore clean, consistent holes through wood framing, joists, or panels. The 16-inch length provides reach for drilling through double plates or stacked lumber. It is typically used by electricians running conduit or cables and by plumbers routing pipe through wood structure.
