Key Features:

• Professional grade double pointed segment design for easier slurry resistance.
• Ultra-high diamond content for fast drilling without sacrificing bit life.
• Optimized for drilling through concrete with high PSI or heavy reinforcement.
• Designed for wet use only.
• Features a 1 1/4"-7 thread connection.
• Suitable for laboratory core sample testing.

Safety Information

Always prioritize safety when operating power tools and using diamond bits.

• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses, hearing protection, and gloves.
• Ensure the diamond bit is securely attached to the drilling equipment before operation.
• This bit is designed for wet use only. Operating dry will cause premature wear and potential damage to the bit and workpiece.
• Maintain a stable and secure drilling position.
• Keep hands and loose clothing away from rotating parts.
• Refer to your drilling equipment's manual for additional safety guidelines.

Setup

1. Inspect the Bit: Before each use, visually inspect the diamond bit for any signs of damage, such as cracked segments or a bent barrel. Do not use a damaged bit.
2. Prepare Drilling Equipment: Ensure your core drilling machine or compatible equipment is clean and in good working order. Verify that the spindle is free of debris and runs true.
3. Attach the Bit: Securely thread the 1 1/4"-7 connection of the diamond bit onto the spindle of your drilling machine. Hand-tighten first, then use an appropriate wrench to ensure it is firmly seated. Do not overtighten.
4. Connect Water Supply: This bit requires continuous water flow during operation. Connect your water supply to the drilling machine's water swivel or direct water feed system. Ensure there are no leaks and that water can flow freely through the bit.
5. Secure Workpiece: Firmly secure the material to be drilled to prevent movement during operation. Use clamps, vises, or other appropriate securing methods.

Operating Instructions

1. Start Water Flow: Before starting the drilling machine, turn on the water supply to ensure a steady flow of water to the bit. Water is crucial for cooling the diamond segments and flushing out slurry.
2. Initiate Drilling: Start the drilling machine and allow the bit to reach full operating speed. Slowly and steadily bring the rotating bit into contact with the workpiece.
3. Apply Consistent Pressure: Apply consistent, moderate pressure. Avoid excessive force, which can lead to overheating, segment damage, or reduced bit life. Let the diamonds do the cutting.
4. Maintain Water Flow: Continuously monitor the water flow during drilling. Insufficient water will cause the bit to overheat, glaze, and lose cutting efficiency.
5. Clear Slurry: The water will create a slurry. Ensure this slurry is effectively removed from the cutting area to prevent binding and maintain cutting performance.
6. Complete the Cut: Continue drilling until the desired depth is achieved or the core is fully cut.
7. Retract and Shut Down: Once the cut is complete, slowly retract the bit from the hole. Turn off the drilling machine, then turn off the water supply.

Maintenance

• Clean After Use: After each use, thoroughly rinse the diamond bit with clean water to remove all concrete slurry and debris. Allow it to air dry completely.
• Inspect Segments: Regularly inspect the diamond segments for wear. While designed for durability, segments will eventually wear down. Uneven wear or missing segments indicate the bit needs replacement or re-tipping by a professional.
• Storage: Store the bit in a dry place to prevent rust. Protect the diamond segments from impact to avoid chipping or damage.
• Sharpening (Dressing): If the bit's cutting speed decreases, the diamonds may have become glazed. Drilling into an abrasive material like sandstone or an abrasive block for a short period can expose new diamonds and restore cutting efficiency.
