Tips and hints for core drilling concrete

www.coredrillin...
This video will show you the most efficient and easiest way to core drill through reinforced concrete.
Showing you how to set up the hand held core drilling machine using a template to suit the size core drill we are going to use. We also show you how much water you need to use while core drilling and a technique to stop the core drill bit from getting jammed. Finally, how to break the core out of the concrete.

Thanks Guys - I was wondering how I would drill with no centre bit to get me started - a wood template of course - so easy but I wouldn't have thought of it !

Top guys at Core Drilling supplies, very helpful team.

[@danwedd578]

Good video guys. I use gum boots when I'm core drilling because I got sick if having wet and cold feet.

Thanks a shit-ton mate! I didn't know where to start with this so thankyou

[@Wanker59]

Gday mate. I'm core drilling through exposed agg concrete with quartz. Very hard. It's taking over an hour a hole. Is this because I'm running too much water through it? It's glazing very quick

Good video 👍

What do you do when you hit rebar.

[@coredrillingsuppliesptyltd9633]

Some people might drop down a speed (slower) depending on the diameter you are drilling. Otherwise reduce the pressure you apply to the drill keeping a steady pace until through the rebar.

Nice. Have you ever done 150mm free hand?

[@adampapworth]

Thanks

[@sandybartlett1333]

Thank you.

[@gearshift313]

does the hammer/chistle work on 4" (100mm) cores as well? trypically working with 35 MPa concrete.

[@jimmyjones3442]

Do you need to make a special fitting to hook the garden sprayer to the drill?

[@benjaminissachar2001]

What do you use to set the post? Quickrock or regular cement?

[@leonardogaribaldi9248]

Get a metal hanger to pull out cores

[@Harolddespui]

I wonder, in the case it would jam, and the safety clutch wouldn't work well, is your leg able to stop the handle without enjuring yourself?

[@DP-sx2pt]

This one looks more powerful than mine, and I'm pretty sure mine doesn't have a clutch, but you really need a good grip and be ready for if/when it snags... Also mine is a dry drill used on brick and block rather than concrete not sure how much difference that makes

[@bogdan3978]

Should you push hard or softly on the top?

[@coredrillingsuppliesptyltd9633]

softly, let the machine do the work.

[@slurryking1898]

Invest in a vacuum base post. You won't regret it

[@moondancer00]

Thanks for the vid... But... The shoelaces look a bit close to the bit when you first start coring through the template - Looks a bit sketchy to me. Are those safety shoes?

[@calvinlim2615]

excellent steel cap shoes.

[@mrshardlo]

Git.

[@arctic3038]

[@ethanwasme4307]
