Milwaukee 48-27-0871 Spade Bit 7/8 X 6 Inches

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE ELECTRIC TOOL CORP 48-27-0871 is a 7/8-inch by 6-inch spade bit engineered for clean hole drilling in wood, plastic, plywood, and Formica. The patented cutting edge bores faster than conventional spade bit designs while clearing chips efficiently, reducing the effort needed per cut. Double wing spurs minimize vibration during entry and exit, producing cleaner hole formation with less wandering. The 1/4-inch quick-change hex shank is compatible with all universal Quik Lok extensions, making it practical for deep-reach drilling applications in framing, rough-in, and finish carpentry.

This spade bit is suited for residential and light commercial installation work where electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs, and general contractors need to bore through wood framing, subflooring, or paneling. The 6-inch length provides reach for drilling through standard dimensional lumber and double top plates without an extension. The 7/8-inch diameter is a common size for routing conduit, cable, and small-diameter pipe through wood members at any angle.
