Diamond Core Drills

About

Diamond core drills are the trade standard for cutting accurate, circular openings in masonry with minimal breakout and a neat edge that is ready for fixings, sleeves, conduits or vents. Instead of tearing material away like percussion bits, a diamond core uses industrial diamond segments to grind a precise annulus through the substrate. The result is faster progress, smoother hole walls and less post-drill remedial work on brick, block and similar materials. In this category, Platinum Chemicals focuses on professional-grade dry coring solutions for construction, M&E, plumbing, HVAC and refurbishment work across the UK. What Diamond Core Drills Do A diamond core removes a ring of material while leaving a solid plug. That cutting method reduces vibration at the drill, helps holes track true and achieves a cleaner finish around finished surfaces. With the correct technique and machine, dry coring in masonry is rapid and repeatable, which is why cores are used for soil and waste pipes, boiler flues, cooker hoods, tumble dryer vents, extract fans, AC linesets, cable routes and service sleeves in both domestic and commercial projects. Where and When to Use Diamond Cores On site, dry diamond cores are the go-to for holes through facing brick, blockwork and many natural or reconstituted stones when water is undesirable. They are ideal for remodels and live environments where controlling slurry is difficult, for overhead work where wet methods are impractical, and for rapid penetrations that must be clean enough to accept glands, bungs or sleeves without extensive making good. For very dense reinforced concrete or highly abrasive aggregates, a wet core or a specialist grade may be more appropriate, but for the vast majority of common UK masonry, a quality dry core delivers the speed and finish trades expect. Substrates and Suitability Professional dry cores are specified for medium density materials such as common brick, concrete block, lightweight block and many sandst
