Product Information

Full details

The Faithfull Diamond Core Drill Kit is designed for professional contractors and serious DIY enthusiasts working in plumbing, electrical, and general building trades. It offers high-speed, precision drilling in materials like brick and concrete, featuring premium turbo-cut segments for long-lasting wear. The primary caveat is that these cores are strictly for rotary action; using them in hammer or percussion mode will cause irreparable damage to the diamond segments.

FAQs

Can I use this set with a hammer drill?

No, you must never use these cores in hammer or percussion mode. Doing so will shatter the diamond segments.

What is the maximum hole size for my SDS-Plus drill?

You should not use cores larger than 78mm when using an SDS-Plus drill to prevent damage to your tool.

Does this set include an extension bar?

Yes, the kit includes both SDS Plus and hex extension adaptors to provide reach for deeper holes.

Is this kit suitable for reinforced concrete?

These cores are primarily designed for masonry and brick. Drilling through dense rebar will significantly reduce the lifespan of the diamond segments.

How do I clear dust during drilling?

The V-groove segments are designed to assist with debris removal. For best results, use with an integrated dust extraction system or periodically withdraw the core to clear the hole.

Troubleshooting

The drill bit stops cutting or glazes over

The diamond matrix has become smoothed. Dress the segments by drilling into an abrasive material like a sandstone block or specialized dressing stone.

Pilot drill is stuck in the core

Use the included extractor drift key to gently tap the pilot drill through the slot in the side of the core barrel.

Core is vibrating excessively

Ensure the pilot drill is properly seated and the core is threaded tightly onto the adaptor. Check that the drill is set to rotary-only mode.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable turbo-cut diamond segments for long-term reliability
  • Versatile range of drill bit sizes included for multiple trades
  • Effective V-groove debris clearance system
  • Comes in a robust carry case for organization and protection
  • Compatible with both SDS Plus and standard hex chuck systems

Cons

  • Not suitable for use in hammer or percussion modes
  • Restricted use for SDS-plus drills (do not use cores larger than 78mm)
  • Requires a purpose-built core drilling machine for maximum efficiency

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Setup: Secure the pilot drill into the core using the drift key. Select the appropriate adaptor (SDS or hex) based on your drill type.
  2. Compatibility: Compatible with most core drilling machines. Caution: When using SDS-Plus drills, do not exceed 78mm core diameter as this can overstrain the drill chuck and internal gears.
  3. Care: Keep threads clean and free of grit. After use, store components in the provided carry case. If the diamond segments appear to glaze over (stop cutting effectively), drill into a soft abrasive material like an old breeze block to re-expose fresh diamonds.
