Diamond drilling for precise, circular cuts

Diamond drilling is the most efficient way of creating holes and slots from 10mm to 1m in diameter, to virtually unlimited depths. Openings can be drilled through all types of concrete and brickwork for plumbing and electrical installations. This is also an effective method of creating holes for the installation of pipes and cables, anchoring bolts and load carrying devices.

Drill bits are mounted on the rotating end of various drilling machines with diamond segments welded to the drilling end. Powered by electric or hydraulic power systems, this technique ensures low noise output and is dust free. Machines can be operated in horizontal, vertical and inverted positions for use in confined spaces. For large or abnormal openings a technique called diamond stitch drilling is used, where a series of adjacent holes are drilled to form the opening.

Benefits:

• Precise, circular cuts for holes and slots
• Non-disruptive
• Dust-free
• Operates in confined spaces
