Best For Pipe, Cable and Vent Openings

The 38mm, 52mm and 117mm diamond cores cover a useful range of masonry openings for services such as pipework, cable runs, extraction ducts and vents. The short 80mm adaptors suit shallower work, while the 250mm adaptors provide extra reach for thicker walls.

Why Choose This Mexco Core Drilling Kit

• Three diamond core sizes: 38mm, 52mm and 117mm.
• Four adaptors supplied in 80mm and 250mm lengths with SDS and hex drive options.
• Dry-cutting design means no water feed is required during use.
• Slotted, welded barrels help release dust and debris from the cut.
• 10 x 175mm A taper pilot drill helps start the hole accurately.
• Drift key helps release the pilot drill from the adaptor.

Where It Can Be Used

• Brick and blockwork for pipe penetrations.
• Masonry walls for cable routes and service openings.
• Ventilation and extractor duct openings.
• Other suitable masonry building materials where dry core drilling is appropriate.

How To Use

• Select the required core size and choose an 80mm or 250mm SDS or hex adaptor to suit the drill and wall depth.
• Fit the 10 x 175mm A taper pilot drill to help start the hole accurately.
• Use rotary-only mode. Do not use hammer action with the diamond core.
• Use a drill rated at a minimum of 850W and fitted with a slipping clutch.
• Once the core has formed a shallow ring, the pilot can be released using the supplied drift key.
• Keep the drill steady and allow the diamond segments to do the cutting.

Safety and Care

Masonry drilling creates dust, and extraction is advisable. Wear suitable respiratory and eye protection for the task and keep dust extraction close to the cut where practical. Check the wall before drilling because steel reinforcement can damage diamond segments. Stop the drill if the core jams rather than repeatedly switching the motor on and off to free it.
