Milwaukee Elec Tool 48-27-1501 Spade Bit 1-1/2 X 6 in

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE ELEC TOOL 48-27-1501 is a 1-1/2 inch by 6 inch flat boring spade bit built for drilling clean, fast holes at any angle through wood, plastic, plywood, and Formica. Constructed from heat-treated high carbon steel, the bit holds an edge through heavy use and can be resharpened at the drill point and cutting edge to extend service life. A patented cutting edge geometry accelerates chip removal compared to conventional spade bit designs, keeping the hole clean and the bit moving efficiently. Electricians, plumbers, and general contractors reach for this bit when drilling through framing, plates, and panels.

This bit suits residential and light commercial applications where fast, repeatable through-holes are needed in wood framing, engineered wood, plywood subfloor, plastic conduit plates, and laminate surfaces such as Formica. The 6 inch drilling depth handles most single-stud and plate stack applications. The 1/4 inch quick-change hex shank seats directly into any drill or impact driver with a universal quick-change chuck, and it is compatible with all universal Quik Lok extensions, including the 12 inch extension (48-28-3350), for deep or hard-to-reach drilling scenarios.

Key Features

• Heat-treated high carbon steel construction allows resharpening of the drill point and cutting edge
• Patented cutting edge removes chips faster than conventional spade bit profiles
• Double wing spurs reduce vibration and help produce cleaner hole walls
• 6 inch drilling depth handles single-stud and stacked-plate applications
• 1/4 inch quick-change hex shank is compatible with all universal Quik Lok extensions
• Bores wood, plastic, plywood, and Formica at any angle

Compatibility

Compatible with all universal Quik Lok extensions, including the 12 inch extension (48-28-3350). Fits any drill or impact driver equipped with a 1/4 inch quick-change hex chuck.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and used by electricians, plumbers, and carpenters during rough-in work. Secure the hex shank fully into the quick-change chuck before applying power. When boring through laminate or plastic, reduce feed pressure near breakthrough to minimize splintering on the exit face. Inspect and resharpen the cutting edge and spurs as needed to maintain hole quality and reduce heat buildup.
