Every year in June Milwaukee tool hosts a special event called the New Product Symposium in which they showcase new Milwaukee products. I wasn’t able to make it this year but fortunately Milwaukee shared some of the news of their new products with me – and this year is a great one!
In the last four posts we took a look at their cordless M18 and M12 power tools, lighting, storage products, and hand tools & accessories. In this article we’ll take a brief look at their newest accessories for power tools such as screwdriving, drilling, cutting, and dust collection accessories.
Just keep in mind I don’t have pics of each item yet, but I do have a short description. I will update with new pics as they come in.

SDS Max Dust Extraction Attachment 5317-DE – Launch June 2017
The Milwaukee® SDS Max Dust Extraction Attachment provides users with a solution for the regulation on respirable crystalline silica dust (29 CFR 1926.1153). The 5317-DE SDS Max Dust Extraction Attachment is optimized for all drilling depths and any hole ranging from ¼” and 2-3/4” in diameter. Its removable brush rings allows for increased tool life when performing larger dry coring applications.
SDS Max Chisel Boot 5318-DE – Launch August 2017
The Milwaukee® SDS Max Chisel Boot provides users with a solution for the regulation on respirable crystalline silica dust (29 CFR 1926.1153). The 5317-DE SDS Max Chisel Boot is optimized for most SDS Max Rotary Hammers for chipping applications with bull point and flat chisels up to 1-1/8″ wide. Its adjustable strap secures the hose away from the application allowing for increased productivity.
Surface Grinding Dust Shrouds 49-40-6101 – Launch August 2017
The Milwaukee® Surface Grinding Dust Shroud provides users with a solution for the regulation on respirable crystalline silica dust (29 CFR 1926.1153). They are optimized for surface grinding applications with both AC and DC Milwaukee small angle grinders.
Cutting Dust Shrouds 49-40-6110 – Launch July 2017
The Milwaukee® Cutting Dust Shroud provides users with a solution for the regulation on respirable crystalline silica dust (29 CFR 1926.1153). They are optimized for cutting applications with both AC and DC Milwaukee small angle grinders.
SDS Next Gen Drill Bits 48-20-3930 48-20-3964 – Launch July 2017
The Next Generation SDS-Max Drill Bits are designed with breaker points that pulverize material more efficiently, while variable flutes that widen near the tip of the bit help to remove debris faster – allowing users to make up to 15% more holes per charge. To protect the bit against hard aggregate and rebar, rebar guards at the tip extend the life of the bit.
Self-Sharpening Chisels – Launch July 2017
Models: 48-62-6050 48-62-6052 48-62-4250 48-62-4252
The new Self-Sharpening Chisels feature an optimized tip that provides up to 2X longer life than standard chisels and up to 30% longer life than other self-sharpening chisels on the market. The self-sharpening tip geometry maintains the head shape over the life of the bit, helping them to sharpen evenly and eliminating the downtime associated with re-sharpening. This increased sharpness throughout the life of the chisel breaks up concrete more efficiently for extreme productivity.
SDS Plus Core Bits 48-20-5230 – Launch July 2017
Milwaukee® SDS-Plus Masonry Core Bits are ideal for drilling large holes in brick, block, and concrete with SDS-Plus rotary hammers. Assymetrical carbide teeth break up material more effectively resulting in up to 20% faster drilling speeds. Centering bits allow for easy alignment of the hole and precise spot drilling. The versatile two-piece design allows users to drill with several different core bit sizes using one adapter. The spiral core body design minimizes friction in the hole and aids in dust removal during the application.
