Eagle Cutting Tool CDW-17500-1-1/4-7 Wet Core Drill Bit

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL CDW-17500-1-1/4-7 is a wet core drill bit designed for cutting precise, clean-edged holes through masonry, concrete, block, and similar hard construction materials. Wet core drilling uses water as a coolant to extend bit life and control dust during the cut. This bit measures 1-3/4 inches in diameter, making it suitable for core holes required in plumbing rough-in, conduit penetrations, and HVAC sleeve installations. Plumbers, electricians, and HVAC technicians commonly use wet core bits when local codes or substrate conditions require water-cooled drilling rather than dry cutting methods.

This bit is applicable in both residential and light commercial construction and renovation work. Common use cases include cutting through poured concrete foundations, CMU block walls, and brick for pipe or conduit penetrations. The 1-3/4 inch diameter is a frequently specified size for single pipe or small conduit pass-throughs. Wet core drilling is standard practice when working with reinforced concrete or in enclosed spaces where silica dust control is required under OSHA regulations.

Key Features

• 1-3/4 inch cutting diameter for precise masonry penetrations
• Wet cutting design uses water coolant to reduce heat and extend segment life
• Suitable for concrete, CMU block, brick, and similar hard masonry substrates
• Appropriate for plumbing, electrical, and HVAC core drilling applications
• Minimum order quantity of 1 unit

Compatibility

Designed for use with wet core drill rigs and rotary hammer machines equipped with a compatible arbor or drive system that accepts this bit shank configuration. Verify spindle thread compatibility with your drill motor before installation.

Installation Notes

Wet core drilling must be performed by a qualified tradesperson familiar with core drill equipment and site safety requirements. Always connect a steady water supply to the bit before beginning the cut to prevent segment overheating and premature wear. Confirm the work area is free of embedded utilities before drilling, and follow applicable OSHA silica dust control requirements for masonry cutting operations. Power down and de-energize the drill motor before changing or inspecting the bit.
