Diamond Drills

Diamond Drills

Diamond drills are electric drills that are used to bore holes in concrete, stone, and brick. They are so named because their drill bits are embedded with industrial diamonds mixed with a metal bond at the open end. With this reinforcement, they can be used to cut through materials that other cutting tools could not withstand. The metal bond determines the abrasiveness of the drill end, with different bonds used for drilling different materials.

The metal segments in the bit that contains the diamonds are thicker than the cylinder wall to ensure the bit doesn't rub in the hole that's being bored. Sloping slots in the cylinder help release dust that's created when the hole is being drilled.
