FAQs
What materials can these diamond core drills be used on?
These drills are designed for fast drilling into masonry, bricks, and blocks. They are suitable for use on most common building materials like concrete block, brick, and rendered walls.
Can I use these drills with a hammer drill?
No, absolutely not. These drills must be used in ROTARY MODE ONLY. Using them with hammer action will damage the drill bit and the drill, and is extremely unsafe.
How do I ensure a long lifespan for the drill bits?
Use the correct speed setting, avoid excessive force, allow the drill to cool periodically, and ensure you are using rotary mode. The self-sharpening diamonds will maintain their cutting ability for a long time if used correctly.
What is the purpose of the rifled body?
The rifled body is designed to channel dust and debris away from the cutting face efficiently. This improves drilling speed, keeps the cutting area clear, and aids in dust extraction.
What are the sizes of the core drills included in the kit?
The kit includes five diamond core drills with diameters of 38mm, 52mm, 65mm, 117mm, and 127mm. All are 150mm in length.
Can I use these for wet drilling?
Yes, the product description states they are suitable for both wet and dry cutting. Wet cutting can help with dust suppression and cooling.
Troubleshooting
Drill bit not cutting effectively
Ensure you are using rotary mode only, not hammer action. Check that the drill speed is appropriate (moderate speed). Verify the diamonds are not excessively worn and that the material being drilled is suitable for diamond core drills.
Excessive dust and poor visibility
Ensure the rifled body is clear of debris. Use a vacuum extraction system connected to the drill if possible. Make sure the pilot drill is seated correctly for initial guidance.
Difficulty removing the drilled core
Utilize the easy core removal slots on the drill body. A gentle tap with a rubber mallet or a specialized core removal tool may be required.
Drill feels unstable or vibrates excessively
Check that the core drill is securely fastened to the adaptor and the adaptor is firmly in the drill chuck. Ensure the pilot drill is centered. Reduce drilling speed slightly and apply consistent pressure.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Fast and efficient drilling performance in masonry materials.
- Longer lifespan due to self-sharpening diamond technology.
- Clean and precise hole creation.
- Low noise and vibration for improved user experience.
- Effective dust extraction capabilities.
- Comprehensive kit with various sizes and accessories.
Cons
- Strictly for rotary mode use; incompatible with hammer action.
- Potential for overheating if used for extended periods without proper cooling or breaks.
- Requires appropriate drilling equipment capable of handling core drills.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Securely attach the desired diamond core drill bit to the appropriate adaptor (1/2" BSP). If deeper reach is needed, use the 1/2" BSP x 240mm extension. Insert the pilot drill into the pilot drill holder for accurate starting. Attach the chosen adaptor to your drill's chuck, ensuring it is firmly tightened. Select the appropriate drill mode on your power tool – ROTARY MODE ONLY. Begin drilling at a moderate speed, applying steady pressure. For optimal dust extraction, periodically clear the dust from the rifled body.
Compatibility: This kit is compatible with most standard SDS or chuck-type drills that can operate in rotary mode. Ensure your drill has sufficient power and torque for core drilling applications. Crucially, this kit is NOT suitable for hammer action drills or drills that only operate in hammer mode.
Care: After use, allow the core drills to cool completely before handling. Clean any dust and debris from the drill bits and accessories using a brush or compressed air. Store the kit in its original carry case in a dry environment to prevent corrosion and maintain the integrity of the diamonds. Periodically check adaptors and extensions for any signs of wear or damage.
