Product Description
Milwaukee 1 in. Dry Core Masonry Bit
Model Number: 48-17-0010
The Milwaukee 48-17-0010 is a 1 in. Dry Core Masonry Bit — the smallest standard size in Milwaukee's dry core drilling lineup, engineered for dry cutting through concrete masonry units, cinder block, concrete brick, and standard concrete without requiring a water supply for cooling or dust control. Milwaukee Dry Core Bits use premium diamonds in a dry-cut specific segment bond formulated for the heat resistance and self-cooling properties needed for sustained cutting in dry operation where the segment bond chemistry must manage cutting interface temperature without water-assisted cooling. The 1 in. diameter is the entry-level core hole size — used for the smallest conduit sleeve installations, 3/4 in. conduit penetrations through masonry walls, small anchor bolt sleeves, and any penetration requiring the smallest standard core drill hole through masonry without wet cutting logistics.
Dry cutting provides practical advantages over wet cutting at this smaller diameter and in many masonry drilling field situations — no water supply equipment or hose management, no water rundown on the wall face below the drilling location, no wet slurry cleanup after the work, and no risk of water damage to adjacent finishes or electrical systems below the drilling location. For OSHA crystalline silica compliance during dry core drilling, vacuum extraction must be used continuously to capture concrete dust at the point of generation — the vacuum also removes accumulated dust from the cutting face that contributes to segment overheating in dry drilling. Milwaukee's dry core masonry bit lineup covers 1 in. through 6 in. in the same dry-cut diamond segment specification for complete dry masonry core drilling coverage across all standard penetration sizes.
For wet cutting applications where water can be managed and maximum segment life is required, Milwaukee's Diamond Premium Wet Core Bit lineup provides optimal performance.
