Product Description
Milwaukee 5/8 in.-11 x 12 in. Core Bit Extension
Model Number: 48-17-6012
The Milwaukee 48-17-6012 is a 5/8 in.-11 threaded Core Bit Extension in 12 in. length — a precision extension shaft for Milwaukee core bits that mount on the 5/8 in.-11 thread standard used on smaller-diameter Milwaukee wet core bits and core drill adapters. The 5/8 in.-11 thread is the standard spindle interface for Milwaukee's smaller wet core bits and for the SDS+ thin wall core bit adapter systems, providing the 12 in. of additional barrel depth needed when the standard core bit barrel cannot complete a through-penetration from a single drill position. Adding 12 in. of extension to the 5/8 in.-11 core bit system enables through-penetrations in thick masonry walls, multi-layer concrete assemblies, and sections where the combined depth exceeds the base core bit barrel's working length from the accessible drilling face.
Milwaukee precision-machines the 5/8 in.-11 threads on both ends of the 12 in. extension for accurate concentricity between the extension and the core bit — eccentricity at the extension coupling translates directly to cutting face runout, producing oversized holes and uneven segment wear that shortens valuable core bit service life. The extension is used with wet cutting throughout the drilling operation, requiring adequate water delivery through the full extended system length for diamond segment cooling and concrete slurry evacuation. Extensions can be combined for greater total depth when a single 12 in. extension is insufficient for the required penetration depth. Always follow Milwaukee's recommended feed rate and water application procedures when using barrel extensions.
See Milwaukee's complete core bit extension lineup for all available 5/8 in.-11 extension lengths and for the 1-1/4 in.-7 extension format for larger Milwaukee core bit systems.
