Glad you dug it! Thanks for taking the time to check us out, and please feel free to reach out if there is anything more we can help with!!

Thank you for watching!!

Thanks so much! Unfortunately we only ship within the US but you should be able to purchase Diamond Products core bits in Canada through other sources

Can't fault you for thinking that way! If you need any help getting the job done, let us know and we'll get you set up. Thanks for watching!

I was planning on getting an sds max as on top om my plus bit I didnt know most sds max drills didnt have a drill only function as well. Thanks for the heads up.

;;;;;;;;;; 2 Esdras2: 31-100 ;;;;

They saying dont use hammer drilling with diamond for just precausions specially with noobs thats a common sense

That makes these videos all worth while - Very glad it helped!

That's very fair! Just be sure that you're taking your time with it and start small! It's much easier to remove more material than it is to add it back on if the hole ends up too large!

@@OhioPowerTool thank you for the helpful tips. I appreciate it. I know you guys work long and hard to gain your knowledge and I appreciate you giving me free knowledge. It’s also a hell of a lot easier to take more often than it is to add on lol.

Sure, pretty pricey for a one time use, but this should be what you need: The adaptor: www.ohiopowertool.com/p-23844-diteq-sds-plus-to-58-11m-hammer-drill-adapter-to-core-bits-151670.aspx 3" : www.ohiopowertool.com/p-23850-diteq-c-34ax-dry-3-concrete-diamond-core-bit-arbor-58-11-d31526.aspx 5" : www.ohiopowertool.com/p-23854-diteq-c-34ax-dry-5-concrete-diamond-core-bit-arbor-58-11-d31530.aspx

We don't sell a 7/16 quick change adapter, since dry core bits can attached to grinders or hammer drills can't see why this wouldn't work if you found the right adapter (assuming from a reputable manufacturer who tested and confirmed this worked) we just don't sell one currently.

@@OhioPowerTool turns out the local shop did have them, just not in stock, they also had a kit of different sizes which included SDS and hex adaptors, which is what I ended up with, so all set for diamond holes in concrete in future for most common sizes.

Check out the DeWalt 60v SDS-Max like this one but there are others www.ohiopowertool.com/brands/dewalt-power-tools/dewalt-cordless-tools/dewalt-cordless-rotary-hammer-drills/dewalt-dch481b

Unfortunately not, these are either threaded or SDS. If you need a hammer or core drill though, we've got some 😉

Obrigado por assistir e seguir! (Thank you for watching and following!)

D2581k is just a Dewalt chipping hammer right? If it doesn’t have drill only mode probably not going to work. Asphalt is very soft and abrasive not hard to drill through but yes gum up the works so to speak. Better with a diamond drill bit not a carbide bit. For cinder blocks either should work but again diamonds will give you a cleaner hole without chance of blowout.

@@OhioPowerTool That project (like all of them) morphed into something way bigger so its off the table but, the one I have has a drill only mode. Its not here in front of me but, theres 3 switch settings marked with hammer logo, a drill logo and a combo of hammer and drill logo around the knob if im recalling correctly.

Glad we could be of assistance!

We would recommend a wet diamond core drill bit, they are the most affordable and are suitable for drilling small holes in stucco. It is recommended to use a low speed setting on your drill when drilling into stucco to avoid damaging the surface. Apply light pressure and allow the drill bit to do the work. We hope this helps!

@@OhioPowerTool I had already ordered a carbide one and its coming today in mail. Still ok?

What kind of drill are you using right now? We would recommend a hammer drill if you aren't already!

Oof, basalt's a tricky one. It's a very hard and dense rock, and if you aren't careful, you could end up going through four or five bits before you even make a dent in the thing. You'll want to look for something with a decent diamond count, the tougher the better, though there are some who say using a pilot pin and reaming out bits of basalt at a time is the way to go. It'd take a bit longer than straight drilling, but you'd potentially be saving an incredible amount of frustration and money going the reaming way, at least according to those that prefer that method. Either way, you'll want something that has the diamond count to break through even the toughest of materials. Great question!

Thank you for your input. We’d agree different materials are going to be softer and easier to drill but you never know when you might hit rebar or some other harder rock that could really bind up a drill. Most handheld core drills will say 3” handheld or 6” mounted in a stand. Certainly the drill can handle it but not the user.

There are definitely different types of carbide bits, ones promoting wood typically don’t do well in brick or concrete. The ones that advertise masonry and concrete will get you right through brick unfortunately cost way more than $22 for 4” bit.

@@OhioPowerTool Thanks so much for getting back to me so quickly. Your response clears up a lot for me. Your company is the best!!

There is a lot that goes into installing plumbing into an existing concrete slab. While we sell a lot of tools to help trained professionals do this work this is not a DIY project or something we’d give advice on. Raised some questions for us here in Ohio where it freezes only going a few inches and going outside. A $3k quote might be very reasonable depending on what all they plan to do.

If you are trying to avoid chipping stucco a dry diamond bit on a low RPM grinder will be the best bet. Hammer drill with carbide bit will pound and break the stucco...

It depends on the characteristics of the brick, for standard brick a good quality carbide-tipped bit would work fine! Although if you encounter exceptionally hard or dense bricks you may need a diamond core bit. It may be best to just get the diamond core bit, just in case. But that is totally up to you!

Most people using SDS-Max drills use carbide core bits because they are used in hammer drill mode which won't work with diamond core bits. Hopefully this video helps understand the difference of the 2 types and when you want to use a diamond bit instead. Also how those can work with SDS-Plus and many SDS-MAX (if they have a drill only mode) hammer drills.

You will want to use rotary only, hammering can and usually will break the carbide teeth.

@@OhioPowerTool Got lucky today then! I was using hammer for a little while but doesn't look like the teeth got damaged. Won't be doing that again!

Typically you'll want to use a core drill, but with the new Diteq adapters you're able to use them with an SDS Plus or Max rotary hammer as long as it has a rotate only mode. The one we used in this video is the Metabo 600765620!

Drill a standard 2” core bit with a 12” extension then break off core after 10” or so inches and you’ll be able to go all the way.

It will depend on the material you're coring, but a diamond core drill with core bit may be the better alternative for that many holes.

Carbide Core Bits hammer into the concrete to make a hole, this is compared to Diamond Core Bits that are grinding into the concrete instead, which saves you time! Carbide Core Bits require a coolant to prevent burning and overheating, where Diamond Core Bits do not require a coolant as they will not overheat due to their way they are manufactured and their heat resistance.

Unfortunately, we do not have an adapter of that size. What are you looking to do?

@@OhioPowerTool I Meant A Chuck Adapter From Sds To Normal Drilling

www.ohiopowertool.com/p-23844-diteq-sds-plus-to-58-11m-hammer-drill-adapter-to-core-bits-151670.aspx this is a bit bigger than what you're looking for, but its all I really have at the moment

@@OhioPowerTool No Its A Keyed Chuck With A Sds Plus Shank

ah, got ya. Here is SDS-Plus to Keyless chuck - www.ohiopowertool.com/p-6433-bosch-sds-plus-to-keyless-12-chuck-adaptor-ha3jaw.aspx

WEKA drills are best typically, here in US those are from Diamond Products but I think they import from Europe so might start there.

Try Cardi. Wide range and cheaper than Weka or Hilti or Baier or Milwaukee. For beginning also good: AGP or Eibenstock.

Hopefully this video was helpful, lots of options for drills, core drill or sds-max. Typically 4x4” measures 3.5”x3.5” so a 4” core bit will give a little room to wiggle. (Obviously larger hole needed if trying to support with new concrete) Diamond core with water would be the best option but carbide hammer core bit would work here as well assuming concrete is in good shape and not on edge of sidewalk (as more likely to cause crack). Always happy to let you know how tools work but can’t give any structural or building advice.

It’s typically the better way to go, definitely cleaner holes but we wanted to give the different options.

Hey Felix! That depends on what you're looking for; we've got diamond core bits as low as $70 or as high as $300!

Agreed ,I'm a concrete cutter I would never even contemplate using a hammer drill thats nuts it would take forever not mention hammer the drill or burn it out, ill stick to my tyrolit core drill I think😳

@@justinn446 Bosch hammer drill and everyone else applauds.

No doubt!

Seems like a lot of the older men like all natural holes 🤮

That would certainly be a better way to do it if you can get to both sides.

Several dewalt models do for sure but yes not common across board like with sds-plus.
