Core Drill

Handheld Core Drills

Handheld core drills are engineered for high-speed precision drilling in concrete, masonry, and brick. These lightweight, ergonomic units allow for rapid setup in tight spaces where a mounted rig is impractical. They typically feature multi-speed gearboxes and integrated water swivels for wet drilling to manage dust and extend bit life. Most professional handheld models are optimized for diamond bits up to 4 inches in diameter, providing the necessary RPMs for clean, fast penetration in walls and floors.

Vacuum-Base Mounted Core Drills

For heavy-duty applications requiring larger holes or maximum stability, vacuum-base mounted core drills are the industry standard. The vacuum-pump base allows the rig to be securely anchored to smooth concrete surfaces without the need for mechanical anchors or bolting. These high-torque machines are designed to drive large-diameter diamond bits up to 14 inches, making them essential for commercial plumbing, HVAC, and electrical penetrations. The integrated column and carriage system ensures perfectly straight holes and allows for precise depth control during deep-core operations.
