Description
Diablo DMAPLRC1060 SDS-Plus Rebar Cutter 7/8″ x 5″ x 12″
Don't abandon drilled anchor holes when you hit steel reinforcement. The Diablo DMAPLRC1060 7/8" x 5" x 12" SDS-Plus Rebar Cutter is purpose-built to save the hole, cutting cleanly through embedded rebar when standard masonry bits stall. It’s an essential problem-solver for commercial concrete formers, structural anchor installers, and retrofit teams.
Engineered with Diablo’s proprietary brazed carbide cutting teeth, this specialized hollow-core bit shears through high-tensile steel rebar up to 1-1/2" thick without fracturing. Run strictly in rotary-only mode (no hammering), it cuts cleanly through steel without blowing out surrounding concrete or weakening post-tension cables. Its deep flute geometry evacuates steel chips quickly to keep temperatures low, while the 12" overall reach gets down deep into foundation footings and concrete slabs.
Key Features:
- Saves Abandoned Drill Holes: Cuts cleanly through embedded rebar when regular carbide hammer bits get blocked.
- Heavy-Duty Carbide Teeth: High-grade brazed carbide cutting tips shear through high-tensile rebar without chipping.
- Rotary-Only Operation: Eliminates hammering impact to prevent spalling and preserve structural concrete around anchor holes.
- High-Volume Flute Evacuation: Rapidly clears metal shavings and concrete dust to keep the cutting head cool.
- 5" Usable Depth / 12" Overall Length: Provides reach to slice rebar inside deep foundation and slab drill holes.
- Universal SDS-Plus Shank: Fits all standard corded and cordless SDS-Plus rotary hammer drills in rotation-only setting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this rebar cutter in hammer mode?
No. You must run the DMAPLRC1060 in rotation-only mode with the hammer mechanism switched off. Percussion impact will shatter the specialized carbide cutting teeth. Once you drill through the steel rebar, switch back to your standard SDS-Plus hammer bit to finish drilling the concrete.
How do I properly use a rebar cutter?
When your standard SDS hammer bit stops upon hitting rebar, remove it from the hole. Insert the DMAPLRC1060 with your rotary hammer set to rotary-only mode. Apply moderate pressure until the bit cuts through the steel rebar. Once cleared, re-insert your standard masonry bit and resume hammer drilling to full depth.
What is the maximum rebar size this 7/8" bit can cut?
This 7/8" cutter can cut through standard structural rebar sizes encountered in 7/8" anchor holes, easily handling rebar up to #5, #6, and even larger sections up to 1-1/2" with steady feed pressure.
Will this bit fit my standard SDS-Plus drill?
Yes. It features a standard SDS-Plus shank compatible with all major corded and cordless SDS-Plus rotary hammers from Milwaukee, DeWalt, Bosch, Makita, and Hilti.
What is the difference between working length and overall length?
The bit has an overall length (OAL) of 12 inches for deep reach into concrete slabs, with 5 inches of fluted working head capacity for cutting through rebar and evacuating metal filings.
