Hi all,
Any tips and advice for diamond core drilling?
I'm in the process of putting a series of holes in the walls of my house for pipework for my extension, I'm using an Erbauer core drill set, with the 52mm size, and a Bosch PBH3000 sds drill (obviously not in hammer mode) with a max speed of 1450rpm - I'm drilling through some pretty tough local (Newport) brick . It's currently taking me over an hour. with occasional 2-3 minute breaks to allow me to stretch and let the drill cool off a bit. Any thoughts or suggestions as to how I could reduce the time/increase the effectiveness? Should I be letting the drill cool down more frequently? How much pressure should I be applying? Continuous or pulsed pressure? etc..
Thoughts welcome..
