Core Drill Hire

From hand held core drill hire with a 52mm to 82mm bit to a core drill on a stand with vacuum plate and up to 250mm diamond core bit our range covers everything.
Well everything between 52mm and 250mm.

Core drill hire – hand held for 52mm to 82mm bits; medium on a stand for 52 to 152mm bits and large core drill hire for bits from 52mm through to 250mm.

What size core drill bit should I use?

The sizes are a couple of mm above the size pipe you may have as pipes quote the inside diameter so you’ll need a few extra mm to get the pipe through – eg 152mm for a 150mm pipe.

All our core drills are high quality commercial grade machines. We’ve tried other brands and Husqvarna Core Drill Hire seems to be reliable and long lasting. And with the addition of the 250mm stand mounted core drill to our fleet we’ve been able to increase the number of jobs our customers are able to complete.

Do I need to use water when I hire a Core Drill?

Use water unless you’re inside and it’s going to make a mess. Then a slurry vacuum hire is useful.

Why is water important when using the core drill you hire?

Because if the concrete is particularly hard (isn’t all concrete hard?) the diamond will get hot, the core drill diamond smooths off and stops cutting – but keeps wearing. So you get an excess diamond use charge and no hole (or one that takes a long time to cut).

If you use water – only a dribble is needed to cool the core bit but not too much to wash the slurry away as it keeps the diamond exposed if the concrete is particularly hard.

What about a core drill stand and vacuum pump?

The core drill stand and vacuum pump make larger holes easier. The core drill mounts on the stand – and the vacuum pump holds the stand firmly on the concrete you’re drilling. Of course, if the concrete is very rough you won’t get a vacuum seal and you’ll need to connect the core drill rig. Not much fun – especially if you have lots of holes.
