What is a dry diamond drill used for?

Can it core through brick or block?
It may be suitable depending on the material, core size and unit supplied. Confirm before booking. Use the correct dry diamond core bit for the material and check for hidden cables and pipes before drilling.
Can it drill concrete?
It may be suitable for some concrete depending on the material, core size, drilling depth and unit supplied. Confirm before booking. For heavier reinforced concrete or larger cores, a different drill class may suit better — ask us.
Are core bits included?
Do not assume core bits are included. Core bits and accessories are not included unless specifically confirmed in writing before booking. Please confirm your core diameter, material and drilling depth before booking.
Are accessories included?
Do not assume accessories are included. Stand, water feed, dust extraction or other accessories are not included unless specifically confirmed in writing before booking.
Is this wet or dry drilling?
