Milwaukee 48-20-3582 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Milwaukee SDS Plus core bit adapter fit my rotary hammer?
It is built for SDS-Plus rotary hammers, so the shank drops straight into any SDS-Plus chuck. It will not fit an SDS-Max or spline-drive hammer, and it is not meant for a standard keyed or keyless drill chuck.
2) What lengths does the Milwaukee SDS Plus core bit adapter come in, and which one do I need?
Two lengths: 13 inch (48-20-3582) and 18 inch (48-20-3593). Pick the 13 inch for ordinary block and brick work, and the 18 inch when you need the extra reach to get a core through a thick wall or past an obstruction. Both use the same SDS-Plus shank.
3) Can I use this adapter with any SDS plus masonry core bit?
It is made to drive SDS plus masonry core bits, and the shank is threaded so the bit backs off without fighting it when the core is cut. Match the thread on your core bit to the adapter; bits built for SDS-Max arbors will not thread on.
4) Does the Milwaukee core bit adapter include a centering pilot drill?
The adapter is a two-piece design, and the 8 mm diameter centering pin works with both the 48-20-3582 and 48-20-3593 adapters. If you need a replacement centering pin, order the 8 mm pin that matches these two adapters.
5) Is a core bit adapter the right choice, or should I just use a one-piece hole saw?
Use this adapter when you are coring masonry with carbide-tooth core bits on a rotary hammer, where hammer action does the cutting. A one-piece bi-metal hole saw on a drill is for wood, drywall, and sheet metal and will not survive block or concrete. The carbide teeth here are what let the bit cut masonry.
6) Why does the threaded shank matter when coring block?
Once a core bit binds in masonry, getting it off a plain arbor can mean a wrench and a dead hammer. The threaded shank on this adapter lets the bit be spun off by hand, which is the difference between a two-minute bit change and a fight on a ladder. That matters most on repetitive work, drilling fleets of penetrations for conduit or anchors.
