Product Description
Milwaukee 5 in. Diamond Premium Wet Core Bit
Model Number: 48-17-2050
The Milwaukee 48-17-2050 is a 5 in. Diamond Premium Wet Core Bit — a large-diameter core bit in Milwaukee's premium wet core bit lineup for major mechanical equipment penetrations, large conduit bundle sleeves, and structural access openings through cured and reinforced concrete where the 5 in. bore provides clearance for the large conduit, ductwork, or equipment connections being installed. Milwaukee Diamond Premium Wet Core Bits use only premium-grade diamonds in an engineered segment bond that resists glazing and progressive slowing in hard aggregate commercial concrete — maintaining consistent cutting speed and segment integrity across the full project scope in demanding concrete conditions. At 5 in. diameter, the large cutting face generates the highest heat of any standard wet core drilling operation, making the premium segment bond's glazing resistance and consistent diamond exposure especially important for maintaining effective cutting throughout each deep penetration in commercial concrete.
Wet cutting with abundant, continuous water supply is critical at the 5 in. diameter — water cools the large diamond segment face, flushes the very substantial concrete slurry volume from the hole, maintains cutting clearance, and provides OSHA crystalline silica dust suppression. Milwaukee's premium core bit range covers 3/4 in. through 12 in. for standardized quality across all project core diameters. Available sizes include everything from small conduit penetrations through the largest structural access openings requiring wet core drilling.
