A hollow, cylindrical drill for making holes through a surface are called Core Drill Bit. The material left inside the drill bit is referred to as the core. The bits are usually made of metal, and the tips are often coated with either diamond or carbide. Core drills for cutting metal are called annular cutters.

Core drill unlike other cutting tools extract a cylinder from the material but doesn’t grind it. With the tool you can drill both blind (without going to the other side of the workpiece) and through holes. The power, size, and specs of the drills can vary, and depend on what it is using for. For home use are convenient small core drill bits because powerful drills are expensive. Large units are usually used for the cutting of stone and masonry on massive construction projects.

Many core drill bits can be used with common SDS drill, most of them come with built in clutches. If you plan to using core drilling a lot, buying core drill is often cheaper than hiring local company. Local hire firms will also charge you for the amount of wear on diamond tipped bits. The tool pushes through the material with a twisting motion to create the hole. You need special drill bit for each surface to allow work with best performance.

Diamond core drill bits works even with the hardest materials, and as the diamonds grind away at the material, it throws out dust and debris. The best choice for teeth cleaning, cooling down and greasing is using water. Water cooled diamond core drill bits are most effective, accurate and long lasting. Using the right amount of water is key to a well-executed core drilling. A common rule of thumb is to use water to make the mixture look like coffee with a lot of cream in it. In most cases, using a wet core drill bit is preferable. Some of the carbide tipped bits and even diamond ones are manufactured for dry use, but even they work better and longer with water.

For a usual task like new bathroom building you may need to drill at least three-diameter holes for a bath, toilet and shower waste. Bits sizes are bigger than not pipe ones, and the holes should allow for movement of the pipe. Common practice is to not use hammering, even for bits with carbide inserts. Rough action of the hammer drilling can wear out expensive diamond teeth very quick. You should also be careful, a core bit, once within the hole it is cutting, can snag or grab at any moment without any warning.
