What is a Diamond Core Bit, and What is it Used For?



What is needed to drill a hole into concrete, reinforced concrete, brick, block, stone and more? A core drill is a powerful tool use to drill holes in these kinds of surfaces. When using a core drill, it is best to know what kind of diamond core bit to use first. Diamond core bits are specialized hollow steel cylinders that will grind away the concrete surface to create a hole; for example, cutting holes through concrete walls for plumbing pipework. Not all diamond core bits are identical, and different core bits are needed for different surfaces. Selection of the right diamond core bit all depends on the type and depth of the concrete along with the use of a wet or dry core drills.

National Diamond Enterprises is the industry leader in manufacturing and distributing the best diamond core bits since 1986. Their guaranteed products are designed for whatever surface type that needs to be drilled. The dry series are premium core bits that are specially designed for job locations that do not have anywhere to hook up to water feed. The body air vents on the core bits will allow the concrete to be drilled quick, and clean while the extraction is filled with substance. This core bit is not to be used on reinforced concrete, but perfect for concrete block. If the job site does not have water available then using a wet core bit will not be effective.

The Power Plus Euro Core Bit is a premium grade core, which is manufactured in Germany to drill into applications like highways, runways, dams and all large multiple hole drilling job sites. Since the Power Plus Euro core bit is specially designed with a higher concentration of GE thermal grade diamonds, the core bit will last longer, and will cut faster on wet drilling job sites. Wet diamond core bits are the best way to drill holes in solid concrete. Just make sure when using a wet core bit that you do not overly use water. It is best to use less water to allow the diamonds to grind away the concrete.

National Diamond Enterprises diamond core bits will not pound the concrete. This will make the process of drilling the concrete cleaner and there will be less chance of blowouts on the backside of the core bit. Before you begin to drill on concrete, it’s a good practice to first examine the diamond drill bits for any cracks or damage. Damage to the drill bit, or incorrectly mounted, can be extremely dangerous. Also check for drill bit run out before drilling. Run out will make excess vibration during drilling, and will affect the roundness of the hole.

Which diamond core bit is right for the job site? It all depends on the type of concrete, and where the drilling will take place on site. Knowing the conditions on site is important to obtain the right diamond core bits.
