After years of making do with an old core drill and cheap cores Ive went and ordered a new machine and set of cans.

Marcrist DDM2 Diamond Core Drill 2 Speed 240 Volt

I know they have a newer one but I just fancied one of these.

Had a shot of one and they cut like a knife through butter.

drilling holes ? what you think i was going to use it for chucking at the love slave :)
 
I've got the cordless version TE6A 36V. Makes light work of concrete walls

what battery did you get with it ? when my 36v Bosch get pass 5 years will get that one too . pls give feed back on it !
 
obviously but why 6" , please dont get me wrong I have only 5" and it does more then enough opening for flues and 4" waist fittings
 
I have the marcrist, cracking drill. This week I had to drill through a double skin of dense block on flat and it ate it up.
 
are you saying that that hilti cordless will core drill 6inch through solid walls?
 
I wouldnt use the Hilti cordless to drill cores, its great using drills for fixings and smaller holes (e.g. Blow offs) but you would probably kill it if you use cores.
BTW Stan I've got the 36V 3.0Ah battery with it, its great, well worth the money although its a bit chunky up a height.
 
Well, I'm only starting out on my own next month but I've just been good to myself too (eek).
I've got two bathrooms booked in which will involve 4 holes through walls (one a toilet waste) and hopefully more in the future, so at that price I thought it'll be a decent investment.

I've been in engineering for 25 years and have learned that it's worth having decent tools. I've never used diamond cores - my last toilet waste was a nightmare through super hard brick chain drilling with an SDS - looking forward to seeing what the difference is like :)
