Product Description
Milwaukee 6 in. Diamond Premium Wet Core Bit
Model Number: 48-17-2060
The Milwaukee 48-17-2060 is a 6 in. Diamond Premium Wet Core Bit — one of the largest diameters in Milwaukee's premium wet core bit lineup for major conduit bundle sleeves, large mechanical equipment penetrations, large HVAC ductwork sleeves, and structural access openings requiring a 6 in. bore through cured and reinforced concrete. Milwaukee Diamond Premium Wet Core Bits use only premium-grade diamonds in an engineered segment bond that resists the glazing that causes standard bits to slow progressively in hard aggregate commercial concrete. At 6 in. diameter, the premium segment specification's glazing resistance is at its most significant — the large cutting face generates the highest total heat during drilling, making segment quality a critical factor for both cutting speed and segment survival. This version of the 6 in. Premium Wet Core Bit is the standard core barrel depth configuration for single-setup penetrations through typical commercial floor and wall thicknesses at this diameter.
Wet cutting with abundant, continuous water supply is critical at 6 in. diameter — the heat generated at the large cutting interface requires aggressive water cooling throughout every drilling cycle. Water flushes the substantial concrete slurry volume generated per inch of depth at 6 in. from the hole interior, maintaining cutting clearance and preventing slurry buildup that progressively slows penetration rate. For 6 in. core drilling in production commercial settings, the premium segment specification ensures the most consistent cutting speed and the longest segment life, directly reducing bit consumption and total drilling cost across a project scope requiring multiple 6 in. penetrations. Core barrel extensions are available separately for sections deeper than this standard barrel provides.
