Diablo 9/16" x 12" SDS-Plus Rebar Cutter Bit

Don't Let Rebar Stop You. Industrial Steel-Cutting Power. Specialized SDS-Plus Rescue Bit.

The Diablo 9/16" SDS-Plus Rebar Cutter is the definitive solution for the toughest challenge in masonry drilling: embedded rebar. When a standard masonry bit hits steel and stalls, the Diablo Rebar Cutter takes over. Engineered with specialized, high-quality heat-resistant carbide, this bit is designed to chew through rebar in reinforced concrete without shattering or glazing, ensuring your project stays on schedule.

For the professional at The Fastener Group, this bit is a toolbox essential for anchoring and seismic retrofitting. Its 4-cutter head geometry provides maximum durability and prevents the bit from grabbing or binding when it makes contact with steel. Whether you are drilling through foundations, bridge decks, or commercial slabs, this bit delivers the industrial performance needed to penetrate the most stubborn reinforcements.

Key Features & Professional Benefits:

• Industrial 4-Cutter Head: Engineered to handle the extreme stress of cutting through steel rebar while maintaining a consistent hole diameter for anchors.
• Heat-Resistant Carbide: Specialized carbide formulation stays sharp and resists thermal failure, even during prolonged drilling in high-density reinforced concrete.
• SDS-Plus Shank Compatibility: Fits all standard SDS-Plus rotary hammers (Milwaukee, DeWALT, Bosch, Hilti), providing a secure, high-torque connection.
• Optimized Flute Design: Features a unique spiral geometry that accelerates dust and chip removal, keeping the bit cool and preventing clogging during deep 12-inch bores.
• Precision Centering Tip: Prevents bit "walking" and ensures total accuracy when pinpointing your drill location on rough masonry surfaces.
• Reduced Vibration: The balanced 4-cutter design minimizes tool chatter and user fatigue, making it easier to maintain control during the transition from concrete to steel.

Power Through the Obstacles

The Diablo 9/16" Rebar Cutter is an investment in jobsite uptime. By moving from a standard masonry bit to a Dedicated Rebar Solution, you eliminate the risk of tool breakage and secondary drilling passes. For the industrial contractor at The Fastener Group who demands a bit that is as tough as the concrete they work on, this SDS-Plus Rebar Cutter is the professional's choice.

When you hit steel, don't swap saws—swap bits. Upgrade to the Diablo Rebar Cutter and drill through anything the slab hides.

The Anchor-Set & Tool Care Kit 

Clear the steel, then finish the job. Pair your Rebar Cutter with these essential accessories for professional anchoring and tool longevity.

• [Milwaukee SDS-Plus Flat Chisel (10")] – Clear the Debris. After your rebar cutter has done its job, use this high-grade steel chisel to break away any stubborn concrete fragments or "spalling" around the hole. A clean entry point ensures a perfectly flush anchor seat.
• [Milwaukee Wet/Dry Vac with Crevice Tool] – The Hole Cleaner. You cannot set a certified anchor in a dusty hole. Use a compact vacuum to extract fine masonry dust and steel shavings before applying epoxy or driving an expansion bolt.
• [Milwaukee SHOCKWAVE 6" Magnetic Bit Holder] – Drive with Power. Once the hole is drilled, use your impact driver and this heavy-duty holder to set your 9/16" hex head anchors or Tapcons. The C-ring retainer keeps your driver bits locked in during high-torque installs.
• [Watson 005 Flextime Leather Work Gloves] – The New Standard for Dexterity. Featuring a premium grain cowhide palm and a breathable Flextime back, these gloves give you the heavy-duty protection required for handling hot rebar bits without the "bulky" feel of traditional leather. Perfect for high-torque drilling and precision anchor setting.
• [SDS-Plus Bit Grease (Industrial Tube)] – Protect Your Rotary Hammer. High-friction rebar cutting generates massive heat at the shank. Applying a small amount of grease to the SDS-Plus end of your Diablo bit prevents "spline-lock" and extends the life of your expensive hammer’s chuck.
