Milwaukee 48-27-0501 Stubby Flat Boring Bit 0.5x6 in

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE 48-27-0501 is a stubby flat boring bit designed for wood boring in confined spaces. At 0.5 inches in diameter and 6 inches in length, it gives electricians, plumbers, and general tradespeople a compact solution for drilling through studs, plates, and framing where a full-length bit cannot fit. Double wing spurs reduce vibration and prevent blowout on the exit side of the hole. The patented cutting edge geometry accelerates chip removal, which pulls heat away from the tip and extends cutting life compared to conventional spade bit designs. A 0.25-inch quick-change hex shank provides fast installation and removal without tools.

This bit is built for tight-clearance drilling situations common in residential and light commercial rough-in work. Crawl spaces, wall cavities, and joist bays are typical use cases. Electricians running wire through framing and plumbers boring for supply or drain lines will find the shortened body length an advantage when swing room is limited. The hex shank is compatible with all universal QUIK-LOK extensions, allowing reach to be extended when the job requires it.

Key Features

• Compact 6-inch length designed for boring in tight spaces such as crawl spaces and stud bays
• Double wing spurs reduce vibration and prevent exit-side blowout
• Patented cutting edge promotes fast chip removal and heat dissipation for longer bit life
• 0.25-inch quick-change hex shank fits all universal QUIK-LOK extension systems
• Stainless steel construction for durability in demanding jobsite conditions

Compatibility

The 0.25-inch hex shank is compatible with all universal QUIK-LOK extensions. Designed as an OEM-style replacement or addition for tradespeople using standard hex-drive boring setups in wood framing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by electricians, plumbers, or carpenters using a drill driver or right-angle drill with a hex chuck or QUIK-LOK extension. Secure the hex shank fully before applying load to prevent slippage. When boring in framing near wiring or pipe runs, confirm clearances before drilling. Eye protection is required when operating any boring bit due to chip ejection.
