The Drilax 1 Inch Diamond Core Drill Bit is a rugged, industrial-grade tool designed for precision and durability in the hardest masonry materials. Its sintered diamond construction ensures that the cutting surface remains sharp across multiple projects, providing a significantly longer tool life than traditional plated bits.

Benefits

Clean Dry Cutting: Perform high-performance drilling without the mess of water, making it ideal for finished indoor environments.

Simple Setup: No pilot hole or specialized SDS equipment is required; it works with the tools you already own.

Cost Efficiency: Save on contractor fees by achieving professional results on plumbing and electrical rough-ins.

Compatible Materials

  • Materials: Brick walls, concrete blocks, stucco, foundation slabs, natural stone, cinder block, and pavers.
  • Tool Compatibility: Works with all standard 3/8" or 1/2" corded and cordless drills (DeWalt, Milwaukee, Ryobi, Makita).
  • Pro Series Tip: For sizes in this series that do not include a guide, we recommend creating a simple template out of scrap wood to ensure a perfect start.
  • Warning: Not recommended for glass, mirrored surfaces, or delicate decorative tiles.

How To Use

  • Drill Mounting: This bit features a universal 3/8 inch shank that fits directly into any standard corded or cordless power drill. No specialized adapters are required.
  • Starting the Cut: Since this model does not include a mechanical guide, we recommend creating a simple guide template out of scrap wood or plastic. Alternatively, start the cut at a 45-degree angle to notch the surface, then slowly bring the tool upright to 90 degrees.
  • Operating Technique: Use a steady, moderate speed. Apply light, controlled pressure and let the sintered diamond teeth do the cutting. Do not use the hammer setting on your drill.
  • Heat Management: Although engineered for dry use, using a wet sponge or a small stream of water will keep the bit cool and significantly reduce dust.
  • Safety Note: Avoid contact with rebar. If rebar is encountered, stop drilling immediately to prevent damage to the sintered teeth.

Use Cases

  • Plumbing Rough-ins: Perfectly sized for installing small water supply lines and PEX tubing through masonry.
  • Electrical & Data: Ideal for running single conduits or low-voltage wiring through foundation walls and brick veneer.
  • Anchoring & Hardware: Drill precise holes for heavy-duty anchors, bolts, and mounting hardware in concrete slabs.
  • Countertop Installation: Create clean access points for soap dispensers or filtered water lines in granite and quartz.
