Milwaukee SDS Cordless

[Harvest Fields]

Cannot beat corded for core drilling. In my own personal opinion.

To be honest if you’re doing any amount of 117, 127 cores it is Definitely worth getting a proper core drill - your little SDS will love you for it and last years longer as a consequence.

Just be prepared to get flung around the room on the odd occasion when it jams up - they have so much torque.

I have the Hilti TE60 (110 volt) which will stop almost instantly when the core jams.

The SDS is not for core drilling, OP says it's for < 30mm drilling which it should do no sweat.

It would be mostly used for drilling 22mm & 28mm holes IV got a separate core drill.

Says mostly here. Not ONLY.

I don't know if that was aimed at me but I didn't interpret what he said as I'll do the occasional core with it too otherwise I wouldn't have recommended the cordless.

IV got a DeWalt core drill, and its pretty good. Only problem is the chuck isn't SDS and so the ends are slowly getting ground down. Is it possible to change chucks on any drill? I read somewhere it could be done?

I think im just gonna bite the bullet and get the Milwaukee M18CHX. Just hope there's not gonna be a 2nd gen in Feb lol

Yes you should be able to swap the chuck out for an SDS but core drill manufacturers tend not to use SDS or keyless chucks for a reason, they get fecked up pretty quickly.

If I understand you correctly you're wearing down the tips of your existing chuck jaws, sure you're using it the right way?
