What is the difference between diamond drilling and core drilling?
Diamond tipped drill bits will typically be used for drilling tiles and glass and will leave a hole in the material the same size as the drill bit being used. Diamond tipped bits ensure higher precision when cutting resulting in cleaner holes in hard materials. Diamond Core drilling typically involves removing a cylinder-shaped core of a material in materials such as concrete or marble

Makita Diamond Core Drill FAQs
What is a diamond core drill used for?
A diamond core drill can be used to create precise, clean holes in hard materials like ferroconcrete. They’re a popular tool with plumbers, electricians, and construction workers.
How and why is water needed when diamond drilling?
While these drills are designed to be used without water, some diamond drills do require water which acts as a coolant and a lubricant. To achieve this, you can either attach a water feed system to your drill or manually apply water using a spray bottle or hose.
Drilling generates heat, which can be damaging to both the drill bit and the material being drilled. Water can keep the drill bit cool, preventing overheating. Similarly, water can reduce friction and offer a smoother drilling experience.
