Product Description
Milwaukee SDS Max Thick Wall Core Bit Adapter — 12 in.
Model Number: 48-03-3572
The Milwaukee 48-03-3572 is an SDS Max Thick Wall Core Bit Adapter in 12 in. length — a heavy-duty extension adapter that connects Milwaukee thick wall diamond core bits to Milwaukee SDS Max demolition hammers and combination hammers for core drilling operations using the SDS Max tool platform. Thick wall diamond core bits use a robust barrel wall construction and large-volume diamond segment specification engineered for high-production core drilling in hard concrete, reinforced concrete, and aggregate-rich concrete conditions where the additional segment mass and bond area of thick wall bits provide superior cutting endurance compared to thin wall designs. The SDS Max shank is the largest professional rotary hammer shank standard, providing the maximum torque and impact energy transmission available in rotary hammer tool platforms — connecting thick wall core bits to an SDS Max hammer via this adapter enables core drilling in harder, more demanding concrete conditions than SDS+ rotary hammers can efficiently handle, without requiring a dedicated electric core drill machine for each core drilling location.
The 12 in. adapter length extends the core bit drilling reach to access deep drilling locations, penetrate thick wall sections, and complete core holes in structural elements where the standard adapter length cannot achieve the required penetration depth in a single drill setup. Core bit adapters require precision machining to maintain concentric bit rotation — even small amounts of runout in the adapter-bit interface translate to inaccurate hole sizing, increased segment wear from eccentric loading, and imprecise hole positioning. Milwaukee manufactures this adapter to the dimensional tolerances needed for accurate core drilling performance with Milwaukee thick wall core bits throughout the adapter's service life. Always follow Milwaukee's recommended torque specifications and operating procedures when using core bit adapters with SDS Max rotary hammers to ensure safe, accurate core drilling operation.
Available in 8 in. length for shorter drilling depth applications — see Milwaukee's complete SDS Max core drilling accessory lineup for all available adapter configurations.
