Milwaukee Elec Tool 48-27-1251 Spade Bit 1-1/4x6 in

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE ELEC TOOL 48-27-1251 is a 1-1/4 inch by 6 inch flat boring spade bit built for clean, accurate hole drilling at any angle. Constructed from heat-treated high carbon steel, the bit is designed for long service life and can be resharpened at the drill point and cutting edge to extend usability. Double wing spurs reduce vibration during operation for cleaner, more controlled cuts. The 1/4 inch quick-change hex shank allows fast bit swaps and is compatible with all universal Quik Lok extensions. This bit is suited for carpenters, electricians, plumbers, and general trades requiring precise boring in a range of materials.

The 48-27-1251 is intended for use in wood, plastic, plywood, and Formica. At 6 inches in drilling depth, it handles standard-depth boring tasks and can be extended to 12 inches when paired with a compatible extension such as the 48-28-3350. It is appropriate for both residential and light commercial applications where repetitive, accurate boring is required in framing, rough-in work, or fixture installation. The patented cutting edge geometry is designed to move chips out of the hole efficiently, reducing heat buildup and improving bore quality compared to standard spade bit profiles.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by electricians, plumbers, carpenters, and other trades requiring clean through-bores in wood-frame or composite material construction. Ensure the drill or driver is powered off and the chuck is secured before changing bits. Use appropriate eye protection when boring, as spade bits can eject chips at high velocity. When drilling near structural members or concealed utilities, verify clearances per applicable building codes before boring.
