Drill Bit MILWAUKEE 48894719 — replacement bit for metal and wood drilling

MILWAUKEE Drill Bit 48894719 is a replacement bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal and wood. Intended as a consumable accessory for compatible drills, this bit provides a precision cutting edge for through-holes and routine drilling tasks encountered in construction, repair and maintenance work.

Advantages

The bit delivers consistent cutting performance and dimensional accuracy for repeated drilling operations. Its geometry is optimized to create clean entry and exit holes in common ferrous and non-ferrous metals as well as a variety of wood types. The robust construction supports stable drilling at moderate speeds and reduces the need for frequent regrinding during typical use.

Suitable for

• Drilling through thin and medium-thickness metal sheets and plates
• Creating holes in soft and hardwoods for mounting and fastening
• Routine workshop, maintenance and on-site repair tasks
• Replacing worn or broken bits in compatible hand-held or bench drills

Key specifications

• Material compatibility: metal and wood
• Intended use: through-hole and general-purpose drilling
• Shank type: compatible with standard drill chucks
• Construction: single-piece cutting bit designed for stability during drilling

How to use

Install the drill bit securely in the drill chuck and tighten according to the drill manufacturer’s instructions. Select a suitable rotational speed for the target material: lower speeds for harder metals and higher speeds for wood. Apply steady axial pressure without forcing the bit; allow the bit to cut at its designed rate. For metal drilling, use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant to extend bit life and improve chip evacuation. After use, clean chips and debris from the flutes before storage to maintain cutting performance.

Usage recommendations

Use personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses and gloves. Match drill speed and feed rate to material type, and replace the bit when wear affects hole quality. For thicker or harder metals, consider pilot holes or progressive drilling with larger-diameter bits to reduce stress on the cutter.
