1.3. DIAMOND CORE DRILL BIT SAFETY
WARNING! Once a core cutter is within the hole and cutting, it can snag or grab at any moment without warning. This can easily
harm your wrist or arm.
9 When drilling through oors make sure the area beneath the oor you are working on is cordoned o󰀨 and that co-workers are aware
of what you are doing. The core is likely to fall from the ceiling when you have nished drilling.
9Check both the inside and outside of the core drill for damage, wear or debris before using it.
9Silica dust will be created when drilling concrete wear a mask.
9Diamond core drilling is the slowest method of cutting a hole. Have realistic expectations as to the time required for cutting.

FAULT SOLUTION
Overheating Material While Drilling There is not enough water reaching the drilling area.
Run water through the core at a high pressure.
Run water through the sides of the drill pointed at the drilling area.
Material/Drill Vibration, Resulting in Uneven Drill Holes Check your machine and rig for run out (if using a rig).
Make sure the machine is mounted correctly, if using a rig.
Make sure the core bit is tightly connected to the machine.
Make sure the material is held securely using clamps.
Dress the drill to expose a fresh layer of diamond to cut the material. Make 3-5
drill holes in an abrasive stone such as sandstone using plenty of water. Doing
this several times should be enough to wear away the metal carrier to expose a
fresh layer of diamond to cut the material.
Excessive Chipping With Diamond Core Drills Possible incorrect choice of diamond core drill due to a mismatch between the
bond of the segment and the material.
Check the rotation speed for the diameter of the core drill and the material.
Make sure the material is held securely using clamps.
Check the condition of the machine being used.
Make sure there is enough water in the drilling area.
Diamond Drill is Drilling Material Very Slowly This is often due to the “glazing” of the diamond segment, where the drill may
have been used at an incorrect speed and the tool has become overheated,
resulting in the metal bond that holds the diamond failing to wear away at the
correct rate to exposure new diamond crystals.
Use a Sharpening Block to dress the drill to expose a fresh layer of diamond to
cut the material. Make 3-5 drill holes in an abrasive stone such as sandstone
using plenty of water. Doing this several times should be enough to wear away the
metal carrier to expose a fresh layer of diamond to cut the material.
Check that the core plug or debris is not lodged inside the core drill.
Adjust the RPM speed and feed rate.
Segment Loss When Core Drilling This is the most common issue we see with core drills. It usually caused by
overheating which results in a fracture at the point of the segment weld or a
collision caused by an unsecured workpiece.
Consider using a Water Feed to run water through the internal hole of the drill.
Check that a su󰀩cient rate of water is reaching the drilling area.
Make sure the material is held securely using clamps.
Check that the core plug or debris is not lodged inside the core drill.
Diamond Drill Is Not Drilling or Cutting This is also usually associated with the “glazing” of the diamond tip.
Check the rotation speed for the diameter of the core drill and the material.
Use a Sharpening Block to dress the drill to expose a fresh layer of diamond to
cut the material. Make 3-5 drill holes in an abrasive stone such as sandstone
using plenty of water. Doing this several times should be enough to wear away the
metal carrier to expose a fresh layer of diamond to cut the material.
Increase the RPM speed.
Check that the core plug or debris is not lodged inside the core drill.
Possible incorrect choice of diamond core drill due to a mismatch between the
bond of the segment and the material.
