The AEG I bought at auction also uses hex drive bits, but it came with
an adapter that accepts A-taper bits. McMaster has one for your
Milwaukee for $25, p/n 2813A41.

It's easy to turn a taper on the shank of just about any bit to fit
the adapter. I don't use the tool enough to know how well it'd work
for everyday use with large core bits, but it does just fine for my
occasional use.

A-taper? Those are the Morse taper type bits?

Thanks!

Yes, but the taper is quite small, and obviously not very fussy.
Probably a little smaller than a #1 MT. Even it proves to be
inconvenient for regular use, as long as you have a lathe available to
turn the taper, the adapter is handy in a pinch for using the bits in
that $2 yard sale box.


They tend to spin when loaded heavily?

This Milwaukee 5300 roto hammer is a beast! Got to weigh at least
15 lbs, looks like a Sawzall on steroids after a sex change operation.
I have (1) 7/16" hex shank 1.5" auger bit, and ran it through a 12"
timber like it was styrofoam. Needed those pipe handles
though..way..thats not a wrist breaker..its a shoulder dislocater.

I've only seen the tapers on masonry bits, and I doubt they'd be
suitable for conventional twist drills or wood augers.

I just found found a pic of your Milwaukee - it looks like something
from a Terminator movie. My AEG is perhaps 3/4 the size and
cuddly-looking by comparison.


Looks like it should have a belt feed or something sticking out of it.

Anybody want to buy some brand new spline drive masonry bits?

Anybody got any decent 7/16" hex drive bits they want to part with?

Yeah, know the feeling. There are some items on eBay that go around 5
or even 10 times before they settle with somebody that can actually
use them. And, the oly people who are really getting ahead are UPS,
Fed Ex ground and the like!

Simply unlatch the bit retainer. This might help a bit...

https://www.manualslib.com/manual/58...ukee-5300.html

Its the full manual. If this is new to you, be sure to check the
gearbox lubricant and add as indicated in the manual

Tighten all the screws and whatnot. Be sure to check the section
about how to stop it from rotating and how to use it as a power chisel
only.

They work good for their tasks. That question was from 2008..where
did you find it?
