Designed for exceptional wear resistance and rapid cutting, the V-groove segments effectively clear debris during operation. This 7-piece kit is ideal for plumbing, electrical, and building installations, allowing for clean, precise holes in brick and concrete. The set includes three diamond cores (38mm, 52mm, and 117mm), an SDS Plus extension adaptor, a hex extension adaptor, an A-taper pilot drill, an extractor drift key, and a durable carry case. Please note that these cores are for rotary use only and must not be used in percussion or hammer mode. For optimal results and to prevent tool damage, use with a purpose-built core drilling machine. Avoid using cores larger than 78mm with SDS-plus drills.
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.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Secure the pilot drill into the core using the drift key. Select the appropriate adaptor (SDS or hex) based on your drill type.
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.
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.
