Features:
The Milwaukee Diamond Core Drill rig consists of a 15-amp drill motor mounted to a drill stand with vacuum pad system. These rigs can drill up to 10" diameter holes using diamond-tipped core bits. Diamond bits are different from carbide bits in that no percussion is applied to the bits and they must be fed a water supply to keep cool while drilling. Extension shanks that allow you to drill deeper holes are also included. If you don't have a garden hose faucet nearby, we do have a water tank available that you can refill and use in remote locations. If water control is a problem, you may want to use a Wet Dry Industrial Vacuum to pick up the drilling slime as you drill.

When drilling with diamond drills the rig needs to be solidly mounted to the floor. The attached vacuum pump and pads will normally suck it down to the floor and hold it tight. However, there are times when a crack in the floor, a tile joint, or an uneven surface prevent this from happening. Should that occur, there are two alternate methods of securing the drill rig. Mounting slots are provided to install a masonry anchor into the floor or wall and bolt the rig down that way. After you are finished drilling, the anchor is removed and the hole is grouted shut. The other method is to prop it against the ceiling with a post. A threaded adjusting screw is provided for that purpose.

If you don't need to go larger than 5" in diameter, our 4" Rotary Hammer may be another option for you. For more information on drilling in concrete feel free to browse our Concrete Drilling Tutorial
