Diablo SDS-Plus Rebar Cutter DMAPLRC1010 3/8 Inch Masonry Coring Tool (12 Inch Total Length Carbide Tip Concrete Embedded Steel Rotary Drilling)

Diablo DMAPLRC1010 3/8" x 12" SDS-Plus Carbide-Tipped Concrete Embedded Rebar Cutter

The Diablo DMAPLRC1010 3/8-inch SDS-Plus rebar cutter cores through structural steel rebar and steel mesh embedded inside cured concrete foundations without fracturing surrounding masonry or dulling standard percussion hammer bits. Measuring 12 inches in overall length with a 5-inch usable cutting depth, this specialized rotary-only coring tool features high-density micro-grain carbide teeth attached via a high-temperature brazing and hardening process to resist severe thermal friction and rotational stress. Outfitted with high-capacity debris evacuation flutes that rapidly eject metal shavings and pulverized concrete dust to keep the cutting head running cool, it equips commercial concrete contractors, electrical installers, and seismic retrofitters with smooth, fast steel penetration using corded or cordless SDS-Plus rotary hammers in rotation-only mode.

Best Used For:

• Structural Embedded Rebar Coring: Drilling directly through #3 (3/8-inch) embedded steel reinforcing rebar bars encountered inside poured concrete walls, bridge decks, and slab foundations.
• Post-Installed Drop-In and Wedge Anchor Holes: Clearing hidden rebar strikes inside pre-drilled 3/8-inch anchor channels for electrical conduit racks, pipe hangers, and strut channels.
• Commercial MEP Pathway Penetration: Coring clean pass-throughs through reinforced precast concrete decks and masonry foundation footings when standard SDS masonry drill bits strike steel.

Key Performance & Safety Features

• Precision 3/8-Inch Rebar Penetration: Specifically engineered to core through embedded steel rebar bars up to 3/8" in diameter without jamming or binding inside pilot holes.
• High-Temperature Carbide Teeth: Premium high-density carbide cutters withstand extreme thermal buildup and mechanical friction during prolonged steel cutting.
• Advanced Brazing and Hardening Process: Specialized metallurgical bond securely locks carbide tips to the alloy steel body to prevent tooth detachment under heavy rotational torque.
• High-Efficiency Extraction Flutes: Optimized spiral flute geometry channels concrete dust and steel shavings away from the head to maintain cooler cutting temperatures.
• Extended 12-Inch Shank Reach: Provides 5 inches of usable cutting depth to reach deep rebar strikes embedded beneath thick structural concrete cover.
• SDS-Plus Rotary Mode Operation: Precision-machined SDS-Plus drive shank ensures positive torque transfer in cordless and corded rotary hammers operating in rotation-only mode.

• (1) Diablo DMAPLRC1010 3/8" Diameter x 12" Length SDS-Plus Carbide Rebar Cutter

Technical Specifications

Pro-Tip: Always set your rotary hammer to rotary-only mode before engaging embedded rebar, as hammer action will shatter the precision carbide cutting teeth; once the embedded steel is completely severed, switch back to an SDS-Plus masonry hammer bit to finish drilling the hole.
