Question 1

What is the Milwaukee 48-13-6704 Lineman's Auger Bit designed for?

Accepted Answer

The Milwaukee 48-13-6704 is designed specifically for power utility linemen who need to drill holes in wooden utility poles. Its 18-inch length and 5/8-inch diameter make it suitable for professional utility work where long reach and efficient hole drilling are required.

Question 2

Can this auger bit drill through wood with nails?

Accepted Answer

No. The Milwaukee 48-13-6704 is recommended for clean wood only. It is engineered for drilling wooden utility poles and should not be selected for applications involving nail-embedded or other contaminated wood.

Question 3

How does the single spur design improve the hole finish?

Accepted Answer

The single spur design scores the edge of the hole during drilling, helping create a cleaner opening. This can allow bolts to slide through the finished hole with less resistance, which is useful for utility pole installation and related applications.

Question 4

What type of chuck is compatible with the 48-13-6704 auger bit?

Accepted Answer

The Milwaukee 48-13-6704 features a 7/16-inch hex shank designed for quick connection into compatible 7/16-inch quick-connect chucks. This shank design supports convenient tool changes for professional utility drilling applications.

Question 5

How does the PTFE coating help during drilling?

Accepted Answer

The reinforced anti-friction PTFE coating is designed to provide smoother drilling performance and make removing the bit from the wooden utility pole easier. Combined with the wide flute geometry, it supports efficient chip removal and helps reduce drilling interruptions.
