Milwaukee 48-27-0251 Flat Boring Bit 1/4 in 6 Pack

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE ELECTRIC TOOL CORP 48-27-0251 is a 1/4 inch flat boring bit designed for drilling clean, flat-bottomed holes in wood framing, sheathing, and similar materials. Flat boring bits cut aggressively and are a standard tool on residential and light commercial rough-in work where precise hole sizing matters. This package contains 6 bits, making it well-suited for crews that cycle through bits quickly or need spares on hand across multiple job sites. The 1/4 inch cutting diameter suits smaller-diameter pilot holes and low-voltage wiring pathways common in HVAC, electrical, and plumbing rough-in applications.

Flat boring bits in this size range are used by electricians, plumbers, and HVAC installers drilling through studs, joists, and plates to route conduit, tubing, refrigerant lines, or wire bundles. The 1/4 inch diameter is particularly common for low-voltage control wiring and small-diameter tubing passages. Packaged in a quantity of 6, this SKU is practical for contractors who want to stock a working supply without ordering individually.

Key Features

• 1/4 inch cutting diameter for small-diameter bore applications
• Flat boring bit geometry delivers clean, flat-bottomed holes
• Packaged as 6 bits per unit of measure for jobsite supply needs
• Compatible with standard hex-shank and 3/8 inch or larger drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as a standard flat boring bit for use with corded or cordless drills and bit extensions common in wood-framing applications.

Installation Notes

Flat boring bits are installed and operated by electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians during rough-in phases. Always ensure the drill is at a controlled speed before entering the workpiece to reduce bit walking. Follow applicable NEC, IPC, or IFGC clearance requirements when drilling near structural members or existing utilities. Inspect bits for wear or damage before each use and replace bent or dull bits promptly.
