Milwaukee Elec Tool 48-27-0561 Flat Boring Bit 9/16x6 in

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE ELEC TOOL 48-27-0561 is a flat boring bit built for drilling small, clean holes at any angle across a range of common materials. Constructed from heat-treated high carbon steel, the bit is designed to hold an edge through repeated use and can be resharpened to extend service life. The cutting diameter measures 9/16 inches with an overall length of 6 inches, and the shank diameter is 3/16 inches for compatibility with standard drill chucks. Licensed tradespeople and skilled installers reach for this bit when clean, precise holes are needed in wood, plastic, plywood, or Formica without material tearout or wander.

This flat boring bit is suited for residential and light commercial applications where accurate hole placement is critical. Typical scenarios include rough-in drilling for wiring runs, pipe penetrations through wood framing, and finish work in cabinetry or laminate surfaces. The 6-inch drilling depth handles most standard framing and panel thicknesses. For deeper holes, the bit is compatible with the 12-inch extension Milwaukee part 48-28-3350, allowing continuous boring through thicker assemblies without repositioning. The 3/16-inch shank fits standard drill chucks found on most cordless and corded drill drivers.
