Milwaukee 48-27-1001 Flat Boring Bit 1 Inch X 6 Inch

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE 48-27-1001 is a flat boring bit designed to drill clean, precise holes in wood, plastic, plywood, and Formica. Built from heat-treated high carbon steel, the bit maintains a sharp drill point and cutting edge through repeated use and can be resharpened to extend service life. At 1 inch in diameter and 6 inches in length, it handles standard-depth boring tasks and accepts a 12-inch extension bit for deeper applications. This bit is suited for residential and light commercial rough-in work where speed and hole quality matter. Electricians, plumbers, and general contractors are the primary installers.

The 48-27-1001 is used in framing, rough-in drilling, and fixture installations where clean-entry holes are required through wood studs, plates, plywood sheathing, and composite panels. The flat-bit profile allows boring at any angle without walking, which is useful when drilling through angled blocking or tight framing bays. For deep-hole applications such as drilling through multiple plates or thick timbers, the bit is compatible with the Milwaukee 48-28-3350 12-inch extension, which is sold separately.

Installation Notes

This bit is typically used by electricians, plumbers, and carpenters during rough-in phases. Ensure the drill chuck is firmly secured before operation and confirm bit shank is fully seated. When boring at angles, apply steady pressure to avoid deflection at entry. Follow applicable NEC or IPC clearance requirements when drilling near structural members or utility lines.
