FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

What is a handheld core drill used for?

A handheld core drill is used for mobile core drilling — without a stand, in locations requiring quick intervention or unrestricted movement.

What drilling diameters can handheld drills handle?

Typical working ranges are 40–150 mm, depending on motor power and the diamond core bit used. Larger diameters are better handled with stand-mounted drills.

Can handheld drills be used on reinforced concrete?

Yes — provided you use segment diamond core bits and proper cooling. Dense rebar may require more powerful models.

Is dry drilling possible with handheld drills?

Yes, but only with core bits designed specifically for dry drilling. Standard diamond bits require water cooling to extend segment life and prevent overheating.

Can a handheld core drill be mounted on a stand?

Many models are compatible with drilling stands, which improves precision for larger diameters and increases operator safety.
