A core drill is a machine that uses a diamond core bit to cut circular through-holes in concrete, masonry and stone; this category also includes stands and core bits.
What it is for
Used for core drilling concrete and masonry, for service openings and sampling and for drilling reinforced concrete, in hammer or rotary hammer mode.
How to use it
Locate rebar and services in the wall, then fix the drill stand with an anchor, vacuum pad or prop, or hold the machine firmly if it is used freehand. Fit the core bit, connect the water supply for wet cutting or the dust extractor for dry cutting, and start slowly until the bit has scored the hole. Feed with steady pressure without forcing, and work with an RCD, safety glasses, ear defenders and gloves.
