Husqvarna Core Drill Bit 596242701 1/2 Inch Elite B1420 (5/8 11 Threaded Hub Continuous Crown Wet Concrete Rebar Masonry Hole Coring)

Husqvarna 596242701 Elite-Drill 1/2-Inch Diamond Crown Core Drill Bit

The Husqvarna 596242701 Elite-Drill is a 1/2-inch diameter by 14-inch effective drilling depth wet diamond crown core drill bit engineered to penetrate hard cured concrete, heavy steel rebar reinforcement, granite, and structural masonry without bit wandering or chatter. Formulated with a continuous diamond crown segment measuring 2/5-inch (0.4-inch) in total height with 3/10-inch (0.3-inch) diamond depth, this gold-tier coring tool optimizes pressurized water flow to cool the continuous diamond rim and flush slurry out of deep cuts. Built for use with handheld core motors or rig stands via its standard 5/8-inch-11 threaded connection, it provides smooth pilot entry, low rotational drag, and rapid penetration speeds across commercial electrical, plumbing, and masonry anchor installations.

Best Used For:

• Precision Structural Anchor & Fastener Hole Drilling: Coring exact 1/2-inch clearance passages through high-PSI concrete slabs and granite for mechanical drop-in anchors and threaded rods.
• Heavy Steel Rebar & Hard Aggregate Coring: Slicing cleanly through embedded structural steel rebar gridwork inside poured concrete foundations and masonry walls.
• High-Speed Wet Coring Operations: Operating under continuous pressurized water delivery using handheld or rig-mounted core motors to prevent segment glazing and maintain high penetration speeds.

Key Performance & Safety Features

• Continuous Diamond Crown Architecture: Continuous segment profile delivers smooth, chatter-free starts, preventing bit wandering and ensuring pristine hole margins.
• Gold Level Performance Formulation: Husqvarna’s highest performance tier matrix provides maximum penetration speed and high wear resistance in high-PSI reinforced concrete.
• Thin-Wall Tube Engineering: Lightweight barrel design reduces rotational friction and operator fatigue during handheld core motor operation.
• 3/10-Inch Diamond Depth Layer: 0.3-inch diamond matrix depth over a 0.1-inch segment base delivers extended service life under intensive drilling cycles.
• Standard 5/8"-11 Threaded Connection: Industry-standard female thread interface ensures positive power transfer and broad compatibility across handheld core drills.

Technical Specifications

Pro-Tip: Maintain constant, high-pressure water coolant flow while coring to prevent slurry buildup inside the 14-inch thin-wall barrel, which keeps the continuous crown edge clean and free of glaze when penetrating dense rebar gridwork.
