Product Description
Milwaukee 10 in. Diamond Premium Wet Core Bit
Model Number: 48-17-3100
The Milwaukee 48-17-3100 is a 10 in. Diamond Premium Wet Core Bit — one of the largest diameters in Milwaukee's premium core bit lineup, engineered for major structural and mechanical penetrations through cured and reinforced concrete where the bore must accommodate large conduit bundles, major mechanical piping systems, ductwork sleeves, and structural access openings that smaller core diameters cannot fit. 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 concrete, maintaining more consistent cutting speed throughout the segment's service life from first use to end of life. At 10 in. diameter, the premium segment specification is especially important — the cutting face area is substantially larger than at smaller diameters, generating more total heat during drilling and making segment quality a critical factor for both cutting speed and segment survival throughout each hole.
Wet cutting with abundant, continuous water supply is absolutely essential at 10 in. diameter — the heat generated at the cutting interface at this large diameter requires aggressive water cooling to prevent the rapid segment glazing and potential thermal damage that occurs in dry or inadequately wetted 10 in. core drilling. Water also flushes the large volume of concrete slurry generated at this diameter from the hole to maintain cutting clearance and prevent the slurry buildup that progressively slows penetration rate. For 10 in. core drilling at production pace in commercial construction, Milwaukee's premium segment specification ensures the fastest available cutting speed and the longest segment life, directly reducing the number of bit changes and total bit cost across a project scope that may require multiple 10 in. core holes. Core barrel extensions are available for penetrations deeper than the standard barrel depth.
See Milwaukee's complete Diamond Premium Wet Core Bit lineup for all available sizes — the premium specification is available from 3/4 in. through 12 in. for complete project coverage.
