Core Drilling Concrete With Rebar

Satisfy dry or wet core drilling applications with core drills that can be handheld or rig mounted.

Core drilling concrete with rebar.

When drilling through the reinforced bar the drilling surface of the diamond bit encounters a very tough and relatively ductile material. Api concrete core drilling is focused on responsiveness safety affordability and quality service. Minimize diamond core bit jams with core drills that can detect and compensate for embedded rebar. Masonry drill bits are coated with mineral grit.

Drilling non reinforced concrete surface. 10 standard core length. However the core drilling method can also be used in cutting holes of any diameter through non reinforced concrete surfaces. Match the demands of your base materials with core drills that can adapt gearing and speed to the job at hand.

Drill through the rebar and then resume drilling with your masonry drill bit. When you encounter rebar stop drilling and mount one of these bits in your tool. These core drills can easily cut through rebar or other obstructions within concrete slabs or walls. Drilling through plain concrete is relatively different from that of reinforced concrete.

The sds plus shank has two deep slots and two shallow slots for use with sds plus drive rotary hammers set to rotary only mode. Applying my 45 years of experience in core drilling gpr concrete scanning and all types of concrete sawing api ccd will efficiently. These bits cannot be used with sds max drive rotary hammers. Here the concrete material is removed or drilled through the process of crack propagation.

Designed to cut through rebar or plate steel after a diamond core bit has drilled through the concrete. Bits come in 12 lengths with drilling diameter from 3 8 to 1 1 2. They then use the rebar cutter to cut through the rebar until contacting concrete. These specialized bits must be used with water to keep the bit cool while drilling in steel.

Drilling reinforced concrete puts a very high strain of diamond core bit cutting surface. They pound and grind through brick and cement based materials. Carbide rebar plate cutter. Users simply drill with a carbide bit until making contact with rebar.

Carbide inserts are brazed into the core barrel. United rentals offers sturdy yet comfortable handheld core drills that can remove cores with up to 4 in. Concrete core drills will remove cylinders from concrete walls or slabs for jobs such as plumbing mechanical or electrical work. Once rebar is cut just switch back to the carbide bit to complete the hole.

Drilling through concrete is tough to begin with but when your masonry drill bit encounters a piece of rebar the project comes to a screeching halt.
