Description
Milwaukee 1 in. Pre-Stressed Concrete Wet Diamond Core Bit
Model Number: 48-17-1010
The Milwaukee 48-17-1010 is a 1 in. Pre-Stressed Concrete Wet Diamond Core Bit — the entry-level diameter in Milwaukee’s pre-stressed concrete core bit lineup, engineered for drilling through pre-stressed and post-tensioned concrete in parking structures, bridges, and elevated decks where the standard premium wet core bit segment bond experiences accelerated wear from the extreme hardness of high-strength pre-stressed concrete. The 1 in. diameter is used for single conduit sleeve installations in pre-stressed elevated concrete, smaller plumbing penetrations, and structural anchor sleeve installations requiring this bore through pre-stressed sections. Milwaukee engineers the pre-stressed concrete segment bond formulation for the thermal management and wear characteristics specific to pre-stressed high-strength concrete conditions where standard segment bonds glaze over rapidly under the increased drilling resistance these materials present.
Wet cutting with continuous water supply is essential throughout pre-stressed concrete core drilling — the combination of high-strength concrete hardness and diamond segment heat generation requires constant cooling to maintain segment integrity and cutting effectiveness. The 1 in. diameter entry-level size benefits from the pre-stressed segment specification even at this smaller bore because pre-stressed concrete’s hardness presents proportionally the same drilling challenge at 1 in. as at larger diameters — the harder concrete wears segment bonds faster at all diameters, and the pre-stressed specification’s more durable bond directly extends bit service life compared to standard premium bits. Available in multiple diameters for the full range of pre-stressed concrete penetration requirements.
For standard cured concrete applications, Milwaukee’s Diamond Premium Wet Core Bit lineup provides maximum performance at better value — see Milwaukee’s complete core bit range for all specifications.
