The Top 5 Problems with using Diamond Drills

When it comes to building work, ensuring that you have the right tools for the job is absolutely essential. Sounds obvious, right? But actually, this is a whole lot more complex than trying to
decide between a hammer or a spanner. Different varieties of the same tool each have different functions, capabilities and weaknesses. Drills are a great example of this – different types of drills are each designed to do a different job.

This means that every type of drill has its own unique skill set. As a result, if you select the incorrect type of drill for the job, then you won’t be able to achieve the best possible end result. So, with this in mind, in this blog post we’ll be explaining what a diamond drill is, then outlining its potential weaknesses.

What is a diamond drill?

A diamond drill is a rotary drill, which features a diamond drill bit. Diamonds are used to tip the drill bit, which gives it remarkable cutting properties. These drills are most commonly used for core drilling.

What are the 5 most common problems with using diamond drills?

1. Breaking, chipping, or shattering the material while you are drilling it.

2. Spending too long on the drilling process.

3. Overheating the material that you are drilling into.

4. Creating uneven holes where you have drilled into the material.

5. The diamond drill causing an excessive number or amount of burrs on the edges of the material that you are drilling into.

These are the five most common issues or problems that can be caused by using a diamond drill, particularly when the user does not have enough experience to use this particular type of
tool. These issues can be the result of a wide variety of different incorrect usage problems. Due to the fact that there are a number of different possible causes for this, it is important that diamond drills are used by professionals – that is the only way to ensure a clean, precise and highly-finished end result for your renovation project.
