Carbide core drills
Carbide core drills are another option, especially for smaller masonry drilling projects.
These drills are typically used with SDS (Slotted Drive System) drills.
Carbide core drill bits are suitable for drilling into thin walls and come in smaller diameters.
However, they are not designed for thick concrete slabs like diamond – tipped core drills.
Byvoorbeeld, when installing small fixtures in a brick wall, a carbide core drill can be used to create the necessary holes without causing excessive damage to the surrounding masonry.
In the field of tile installation, diamond – coated hole saw bits and diamond pin drill bits are often used.
Diamond – coated hole saw bits are available in a range of sizes, starting from 5mm and going up to 128mm.
They are useful for creating holes in tiles for taps or other plumbing fixtures.
Professional tilers, on the other hand, often prefer diamond pin drill bits for small – sized holes.
These bits, which commonly come in sizes from 4mm to 10mm, have a solid diamond head that provides long – lasting performance.
When installing a mosaic tile pattern that requires small, precise holes, diamond pin drill bits are the ideal choice.
