Two options are available: a dedicated dry coring motor for reinforced concrete or a hybrid coring motor capable of both dry and wet drilling. Unlike conventional masonry dry coring motors, these machines feature specialized soft impact (micro percussion) technology. The rapid, low-amplitude impacts help expose fresh diamond particles as the bond material wears away, maintaining cutting performance in hard concrete and reinforced sections. The correct core bit is equally important. Specialized diamond core bits designed for dry drilling reinforced concrete must be used. Standard wet core bits and dry core bits designed for brick are not suitable for this application. Effective vacuum extraction is also essential. Airflow through the kerf helps cool the diamond segments and remove drilling debris, while the vacuum collects hazardous silica dust. Insufficient airflow can cause the segments to overheat, reducing cutting performance and potentially damaging the core bit. The vacuum and extraction accessories must therefore be suitable for the drilling application. Successful dry core drilling requires three things: a compatible coring motor with soft impact, a core bit designed for dry drilling reinforced concrete, and effective vacuum extraction. For this application, AGP offers a number of suitable options: the DD160, DD62, and DM62 dry drilling motors, as well as the DDC5, DDC9, and DDC12 hybrid coring motors, which support both dry and wet drilling.
