Product Description
Milwaukee 5 in. Pre-Stressed Concrete Wet Diamond Core Bit
Model Number: 48-17-1050
The Milwaukee 48-17-1050 is a 5 in. Pre-Stressed Concrete Wet Diamond Core Bit — the maximum segment performance specification for core drilling through pre-stressed and post-tensioned concrete in parking structures, bridges, elevated decks, and other high-strength structural concrete applications where standard and premium wet core bits experience accelerated segment wear from the extreme hardness and abrasiveness of pre-stressed concrete materials. Pre-stressed and post-tensioned concrete systems use high-strength concrete mixes, and the high-tensile steel tendons within the structure create an extremely demanding drilling environment for diamond core bit segments — the concrete strength is substantially higher than standard structural concrete, and the potential for tendon contact adds impact loading to the abrasive wear that core bit segments experience in standard concrete drilling. Milwaukee engineers the pre-stressed concrete bit with a diamond segment bond formulation specifically developed for maximum segment performance in these extreme concrete conditions.
The 5 in. diameter is a large-bore specification for major mechanical and utility penetrations in structural elevated concrete — large conduit bundle sleeves, fire suppression system mains, large HVAC penetrations, and mechanical equipment connections where the bore must accommodate large-format fittings through structural concrete sections that are pre-stressed. Wet cutting with continuous water flow is essential for diamond core drilling at this diameter and in these extreme concrete conditions — water cools segments, flushes slurry, and provides OSHA crystalline silica dust suppression. Milwaukee's pre-stressed concrete wet core bit lineup covers multiple diameters for the full range of penetration sizes required in structural pre-stressed applications.
For standard cured concrete applications where pre-stressed concrete segment specification is not required, Milwaukee's Diamond Premium Wet Core Bit provides maximum performance at a better value — see Milwaukee's complete diamond core bit lineup for all available specifications and sizes.
