Stable drilling

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a pilot drill with my diamond core drill?
Yes for most masonry work - the pilot drill keeps the core bit centred and stops it wandering off-line as it starts to cut, so a straight, clean hole results.

What's the difference between the 175mm and longer pilot drills?
Length is the only difference - the 175mm suits standard-depth walls, while longer pilots (such as our 465mm) are for thick or multi-skin walls where a shorter pilot cannot reach through before the core bit finishes.

Which adaptors does this pilot drill fit?
It's compatible with both SDS and Hex core drill adaptors, so it works with either fitting.

Will the tip wear out with use?
Yes, like any pilot drill the tip wears with heavy use on abrasive masonry - worth keeping a spare for busy jobs.

What materials is it suitable for?
It's designed for brick, block, sandstone and similar masonry commonly drilled with diamond core bits.

Does the pilot drill fit a specific core bit diameter?
It fits into your core drill's adaptor rather than the core bit itself, so it works across whatever diameters your adaptor supports.
