Milwaukee 49-22-0071 Flat Boring Bit Set 6 Inch 6 Piece

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE 49-22-0071 is a 6-piece flat boring bit set built for drilling small, clean holes at any angle in wood, plastic, plywood, and Formica. Each bit is made from heat-treated high carbon steel, giving the drill points and cutting edges the hardness needed to stay sharp under repeated use. The set ships in a carrying case and covers the six most commonly called-upon bit sizes, making it practical for rough-in work, finish carpentry, and electrical or plumbing trades where clean, accurate holes through wood-framed assemblies are a daily requirement.

This set is suited for residential and light commercial applications wherever boring through wood framing, sheet goods, or plastic is required. The 6-inch drilling depth handles the majority of standard wall and floor applications. When deeper penetration is needed, the bits accept a 12-inch extension (Milwaukee 48-28-3350) that allows extended deep-hole drilling without changing tools or setups. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors will find this set covers the most frequently needed bore sizes in one package.

Installation Notes

Flat boring bits are installed by trade professionals including electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians during rough-in phases. Ensure the drill is powered off and the bit is fully seated and secured in the chuck before operation. When boring at angles or through layered materials, reduce feed pressure near breakthrough to minimize tear-out. Resharpen cutting edges as needed using a flat file to maintain clean hole quality.
