Product Description
Milwaukee 2-3/4 in. Diamond Premium Wet Core Bit
Model Number: 48-17-3027
The Milwaukee 48-17-3027 is a 2-3/4 in. Diamond Premium Wet Core Bit for precision core drilling through cured and reinforced concrete in commercial and industrial construction applications where the 2-3/4 in. bore diameter is specified for specific conduit systems, plumbing fittings, sleeve hardware, or mechanical components whose dimensional requirements call for this specific bore size rather than the adjacent standard 2-1/2 in. or 3 in. specifications. Milwaukee Diamond Premium Wet Core Bits use only premium-grade diamonds in an engineered segment bond that delivers faster cutting speed and longer segment life than standard-grade core bits in demanding concrete drilling conditions — the premium segment specification maintains optimal diamond exposure throughout the segment life by resisting the glazing that causes standard bits to slow progressively in hard and aggregate-rich concrete. This ensures that cutting speed at the end of the segment's life is closer to the initial speed than standard bits provide, giving predictable performance throughout the complete bit service life.
Wet cutting with continuous water flow is essential for diamond core bit performance and segment longevity at this diameter — water cools the diamond segments against the cutting interface heat, flushes concrete slurry from the hole to maintain cutting clearance, lubricates the segment-concrete interface to reduce friction and heat generation, and suppresses crystalline silica dust at the source for OSHA compliance on occupied commercial jobsites. Milwaukee's premium core bit range covers 3/4 in. through 12 in. in the same premium segment specification, allowing contractors to standardize on a consistent bit quality and performance expectation across all core diameters needed on a project. Core barrel extensions are available separately for penetrations through sections exceeding standard barrel depth.
For pre-stressed and post-tensioned concrete applications, see Milwaukee's pre-stressed concrete core bit lineup — for standard cured concrete applications, the premium wet core bit delivers the best available combination of cutting speed and segment life.
