Diamond Products Rebar Cutter 05348 1-3/16 Inch Carbide Tipped Core Bit (Steel Penetration Post Diamond Drilling)

The Diamond Products 05348 1-3/16 Inch Premium Carbide Tipped Rebar Cutter is a specialized secondary core bit engineered to penetrate structural steel without degrading primary diamond tooling. Utilizing high-grade carbide inserts, this rotary-only bit aggressively cuts through embedded rebar and heavy steel plates after a standard diamond core bit has cleared the surrounding concrete. This strategic two-bit process prevents expensive diamond segment glazing, ensuring maximum jobsite productivity during complex commercial plumbing and electrical routing.

Best Used For:

• Structural Rebar Penetration: Bores through thick embedded steel rebar cleanly after the primary concrete matrix has been cleared by a diamond core bit.
• Heavy Steel Plate Cutting: Severs heavy-duty metal obstructions within reinforced concrete structures to allow continuous conduit and piping installations.
• Diamond Tool Protection: Acts as a dedicated sacrificial cutter to preserve the lifespan of expensive primary diamond core bits when hitting metal.

Key Performance & Safety Features

• Premium Carbide Tips: Industrial-grade carbide inserts provide aggressive cutting action and extended durability when penetrating high-strength structural steel.
• Post-Diamond Sequence Optimization: Specifically engineered to take over the drilling process immediately upon encountering metal to prevent diamond segment glazing.
• High-Strength Steel Body: Robust tubular construction minimizes rotational vibration and withstands the high-torque demands of aggressive metal cutting.
• Efficient Heat Dissipation: Optimized cutting geometry rapidly clears metal shavings to reduce friction-induced heat buildup during deep structural penetrations.
• Standard Motor Compatibility: The 1-3/16 inch diameter bit integrates seamlessly with standard professional core drill motors for rotary-only applications.

What's Included

• (1) 1-3/16 Inch Premium Carbide Tipped Rebar and Plate Cutter Core Bit

Technical Specifications

Pro-Tip: When your primary diamond core bit stops progressing and the slurry turns a grey, metallic tint, stop immediately. Switch to the 05348 carbide bit to cut the steel obstruction; using a diamond bit on steel will glaze the segments and ruin the tool.
