Diamond core bit drilling tips & trouble shooting B

Image
Symptom:Loss of diamond segment Cause:a.diamond core drill bit too hard for the material it is drilling, causing it to pound and fatigue.            b.Overheating due to insufficient water for cooling and flushing.            c.Machine setup is not rigid or loose material is in the cut and the bit segment hangs.            d.Shooting cable, when drilling pre-stress. Remedy:a.Use a softer bond for diamond core drill bit if possible.  Increase motor RPM if possible.              b. Increase water flow to where slurry is milky and flows easily.              c.Tighten anchor, check vacuum system for proper vacuum pressure.              d.Use a bit with more segments, such as a  pre-stressed diamond core bit Concrete core drill bit

Always secure the drill rig either with a mechanical anchor, vacuum system or by use of the jack screw. NEVER stand on the base and drill without anchoring. Level the drill rig by use of the base leveling screws, and a small level attached to the column permanently or by a magnetic strip on the level. This procedure will ensure a perpendicular hole. Never let the bit spin in the hole without applied pressure. This will cause the diamonds to round off and the bit segments will heat and glaze over. Turn on water before starting the drill motor. Otherwise, the water jacket seals heat up and become brittle, losing water. When your bit encounters steel (rebar), relax pressure about 1/3 and allow the bit to cut at its own rate. DO NOT PUSH THE BIT. Some operators turn the water down after exiting the steel to sharpen the bit. If you engage in this practice, turn the water back up once the bit is sharpened. When drilling high PSI concrete or concrete with very hard aggregate (i.e., ri...

Compressive Strength Concrete slabs may vary greatly in compressive strength, measured in pounds per square inch (PSI). Most concrete roads are 4,000-6,000 PSI, while typical patios or sidewalks are about 3,000 PSI.

Size of the Aggregate The size of aggregate affects diamond blade performance. Large aggregates tend to make a diamond blade cut faster. The most common sizes of aggregate are: Pea Gravel………..                                       Variable in size,  or less in diameter ¾”…………………….. usually 3/8”                                                      Sieved size 1-1/2”……………….                         ...
