Milwaukee 48-13-1000 1" x 6-1/2" Auger Drill Bit

The Milwaukee 48-13-1000 is a 1" x 6-1/2" Auger Bit built to bore clean, deep holes through wood framing lumber and other job-site materials. Sized at 1" in diameter with a 6-1/2" overall length, this auger bit is engineered for drilling holes sized to run electrical cable, conduit, or plumbing lines through studs, joists, and other framing members. The extended 6-1/2" length allows the bit to pass fully through standard framing lumber in a single pass, reducing the number of drilling steps needed on the job. Built for use with standard corded and cordless drills, the Milwaukee 48-13-1000 auger bit delivers dependable boring performance for framing, remodeling, and electrical or plumbing rough-in work.

Key Features

  • Trade Size: 1" diameter x 6-1/2" overall length, sized to bore holes that accommodate cable, conduit, or pipe runs through framing lumber.
  • Auger-Style Screw Point: A self-feeding screw tip pulls the bit into the wood, helping start the hole accurately and reducing the effort required to bore through dense framing lumber.
  • Spiral Flute Design: The bit's flute channels wood shavings up and out of the hole as it bores, helping maintain a clean, straight cut and reducing binding.
  • Extended Length for Deep Boring: The 6-1/2" overall length lets the bit pass through standard framing members in a single pass, useful for running cable or pipe through multiple studs.
  • Drill Compatibility: Designed for use with standard corded and cordless power drills, making it a practical addition to an electrician's, plumber's, or carpenter's bit set.
  • Model 48-13-1000: Part of the Milwaukee auger bit lineup used for rough-in wiring, plumbing, and framing applications on residential and commercial job sites.

Milwaukee 48-13-0750 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What diameters does the Milwaukee 6-1/2 inch auger bit come in?
Six diameters: 3/4 inch (48-13-0750), 7/8 inch (48-13-0870), 1 inch (48-13-1000), 1-1/8 inch (48-13-1120), 1-1/4 inch (48-13-1250), and 1-3/8 inch (48-13-1370). All share the same 6-1/2 inch overall length, so you pick strictly on the hole size your cable, conduit, or pipe run needs.
2) Will a 6-1/2 inch auger bit go all the way through a 2x4 stud?
Yes. The 6-1/2 inch overall length is enough to pass through a standard framing member in a single pass, which is the point of the extended length on these Milwaukee augers. Bear in mind the 6-1/2 inches is overall, including the shank, so plan your drill clearance in the stud bay accordingly. For drilling through doubled or built-up members you want a longer bit or a bit extension.
3) Can a carbide-tipped rotary/percussion bit be used instead of a Milwaukee 48-13 auger bit to bore through wood studs?
No - they are built for different base materials. The Milwaukee 48-13 auger bits have a self-feeding screw point and a spiral flute that pulls the bit into wood framing and clears shavings out of the hole, which is what makes them suited to running cable, conduit, or pipe through studs and joists. A carbide-tipped rotary/percussion bit such as the Minerallac 59736 Relton 1/2 inch x 6 inch is intended for hammer-drill work in masonry and concrete, not for boring framing lumber. If the hole goes through wood, use the auger bit in the diameter you need - 3/4 inch through 1-3/8 inch.
4) Which size auger bit should an electrician use for romex through studs?
For rough-in wiring, the 3/4 inch and 7/8 inch sizes cover typical single or paired cable runs, and the 1 inch handles heavier bundles or a small conduit. Step up to 1-1/8, 1-1/4, or 1-3/8 inch when you are ganging multiple cables through one bore or pulling pipe. All six are the same 6-1/2 inch auger built for rough-in wiring and plumbing through studs and joists.
5) Does this Milwaukee auger bit need an impact driver or will a regular drill run it?
A standard corded or cordless power drill runs it. No special chuck or impact-rated holder is called out. With the larger 1-1/4 and 1-3/8 inch sizes, a drill with a side handle and low-gear torque makes the self-feeding tip much easier to control.
6) Auger bit or hole saw for running conduit through joists?
For wood framing, the auger wins on speed and depth: the screw point self-feeds, the flutes clear the chips, and the 6-1/2 inch length clears a framing member in one pass. A hole saw leaves a plug to knock out every hole and is slower in deep stock, though it is the right call for larger diameters than 1-3/8 inch and for sheet materials. Within 3/4 to 1-3/8 inch in lumber, use the auger.
7) I need to reorder the exact 1 inch Milwaukee auger. What is the part number?
The 1 inch is Milwaukee 48-13-1000. The rest of the family runs 48-13-0750 (3/4 inch), 48-13-0870 (7/8 inch), 48-13-1120 (1-1/8 inch), 48-13-1250 (1-1/4 inch), and 48-13-1370 (1-3/8 inch), all at 6-1/2 inches overall.
8) What is the difference between the Milwaukee 48-13-1000 auger bit and a diamond grit drill bit?
Different cutting action for different materials. The Milwaukee 48-13-1000 is a 1 inch x 6-1/2 inch auger bit that cuts wood with a screw tip and spiral flute, driven by a standard corded or cordless drill. The Lenox 12111-10DGHS is a 5/8 inch diamond grit bit in the D/S-10Dg series, which abrades rather than cuts and is used on hard non-wood materials. They are not interchangeable in a framing rough-in.
9) What does the self-feeding screw point on an auger bit actually do for me?
The screw tip threads itself into the wood and pulls the bit forward, so you are not leaning on the drill to make it cut. It also bites where you place it, which keeps the hole started where you marked it. The spiral flute then lifts shavings out of the bore, which is what keeps the hole straight and stops the bit binding in deep framing cuts. The trade-off is that a self-feeding bit grabs, so keep a firm two-handed grip on larger diameters.
