Diamond Core Bits

Diamond drill bits consist of a steel core with segments or a coating embedded with synthetic diamond particles. These diamonds provide the hardness needed to cut through tough materials such as concrete, granite, and tile with precision and durability.

The lifespan of a diamond drill bit depends on factors like the material being drilled, operating conditions, and maintenance. High-quality bits, such as those from EIBENSTOCK, are designed to last for multiple projects, especially when used correctly with proper cooling and at appropriate speeds.

Diamond drill bits should generally operate at moderate speeds. Too fast, and the bit may overheat or wear prematurely; too slow, and drilling efficiency decreases. Refer to the manufacturer’s recommendations for the optimal speed for your specific bit and material.

Diamond Core Bits: Specialised for cutting larger, precise holes in hard materials like concrete, stone, and ceramic. They feature diamond-tipped edges for durability and precision.

Regular Drill Bits: Designed for smaller holes in softer materials like wood, plastic, or metal, without the specialised cutting power of diamond-tipped bits.

• Segmented Core Bits: Ideal for fast, aggressive cutting in concrete and brick.
• Continuous Rim Core Bits: Provide smoother edges and are perfect for delicate materials like tile and marble.
• Turbo Core Bits: Combine speed and smoothness, suitable for multiple materials.

Yes, certain diamond core bits are designed for both wet and dry drilling. Wet bits use water to cool the bit and reduce dust, while dry bits rely on airflow or dust extraction systems.

Diamond core bits are not typically used for drilling metal. They are designed for hard, non-metallic materials like concrete, stone, and tile. For metal drilling, specialised bits such as cobalt or titanium-coated bits are recommended.

Continuous rim diamond core bits are ideal for granite and marble. They provide a smooth finish and minimise chipping, making them perfect for delicate, high-end materials. EIBENSTOCK’s diamond core bits are engineered for precision in natural stone applications.

• Use water for wet drilling to cool the bit and minimise friction.
• Operate the drill at the recommended speed for the material.
• Avoid applying excessive pressure, which can generate heat and wear the bit prematurely.
• Take breaks during extended drilling sessions to allow the bit to cool.

Consider the following factors:

• Material: Match the bit to the material you’re drilling (e.g., concrete, tile, granite).
• Drill Type: Ensure the bit is compatible with your drill (handheld or rig-mounted).
• Size: Choose a bit with the appropriate diameter for your project. Drilling
• Method: Select a wet or dry bit based on your setup and material.
