Product Description
Milwaukee 6 in. Pre-Stressed Concrete Wet Diamond Core Bit
Model Number: 48-17-1060
The Milwaukee 48-17-1060 is a 6 in. Pre-Stressed Concrete Wet Diamond Core Bit — one of the largest diameters in Milwaukee's pre-stressed concrete bit lineup, engineered for drilling through pre-stressed and post-tensioned concrete in parking structures, bridges, and elevated structural decks where standard and premium core bits experience accelerated segment wear from the extreme hardness of high-strength pre-stressed concrete. The 6 in. diameter serves the largest standard sleeve and penetration applications in pre-stressed structural construction — major mechanical equipment connections, large conduit bundle sleeves, structural access penetrations, and HVAC ductwork sleeves through pre-stressed parking structure slabs and bridge decks where a 6 in. bore is required. Milwaukee's specialized pre-stressed concrete segment bond maintains cutting effectiveness throughout full-depth penetrations in these extreme materials, providing meaningful segment life extension over standard premium bits at this large, heat-intensive diameter.
Wet cutting with abundant, continuous water supply is absolutely critical at 6 in. diameter in pre-stressed concrete — the combination of extreme concrete hardness and the large 6 in. cutting face generates the highest heat of any standard core drilling operation, demanding aggressive water cooling throughout every drilling cycle to maintain segment integrity. Water simultaneously flushes the substantial concrete slurry volume, maintains cutting clearance, lubricates the segment-concrete interface, and provides OSHA crystalline silica dust suppression. On large parking structure and bridge projects requiring many 6 in. penetrations through pre-stressed sections, the pre-stressed bit specification's extended segment life directly reduces bit consumption and total drilling cost across the project scope.
