Why are Diamond Tips so Important?

Most concrete core drills have diamond tips for drilling the concrete core. These tips are embedded in bits so that it takes care of cutting. Concrete is a tough material and using diamond-cut drills is essential. The type of drilling for cores is wet.

Wet coring machine uses water to cool and flush concrete dust if they use water tanks. Using this method, drills will last longer and drills are easier. The dry core drill uses no liquid and creates less dust. But these may even be employed where using water is not possible.

Why are gas-powered core drills so effective?

According to Gilson Company, a leading supplier of core sampling equipment "Gasoline-Powered Core Drill is ideal for vertical coring of pavements and slabs. It has a 16in drill bit capacity. The stable platform with leveling screws, a heavy-duty column, and a smooth, precision-feed system combine to make this model the ideal choice for large projects. The 8.75hp four-cycle manual start gasoline engine drill allows the user to operate independently of power supplies with minimal setup time and faster drilling. The unit easily adapts to mount to a pickup truck and carriage travel is 24in (610mm)." [1]
