SALI Wet Diamond Core Drill Bits 2"/52mm Diameter, 15"/380mm Drilling Depth Concrete Core Drill Bit, 1-1/4-7" Thread Core Bit Turbo Laser-Welded Segments with Rebar, Brick, Block, Masonry, Stone

I'm very happy with this core bit. It was great value for the money. It is high quality and durable. I used it to core holes through the floor of two precast manholes. It worked perfectly. As with all core drills, go slow, provide water, and dont try to rush things.This bit has great depth too. I didnt need more than 6" of depth, but I didnt know that until I completed the cuts. It was nice to know that I could go so deep if I needed to. After two holes drilled, it paid for itself, and Im sure it is still in good enough shape to drill through many more.Don't expect to attach this to a regular household drill. You need to have a core drill with the correct threads - but this one comes with the standard core drill threads.

Used to core a 7 inch twice and different concrete walls 15 inches thick.This 4 1/2 inch bit over performed. The curbs took less than 10 mins each and the walls took about 20 mins each. The walls had some big rebar too.Zero issues with quality or performance.After those 4 cores the bit teeth look to be in excellent shape and ready for many more cores. The only real way to even tell it has been used is the nice blue coating is mostly gone.100% would buy again. If I need a different size in the future I will gladly buy this brand.I have seen other reviews, not sure what they are doing but I suspect some aren't using correct drill for this bit. Sure you can use it on an SDS drill, no hammer, but it's not going to drive this bit optimally. You can definitely get the job done with an SDS drill or similar but you really need to get a real core drill if you doing many holes. I paired it with the very affordable Vevor core drill

This is my first Coring bit purchased. Seems to work great. I’ve had great success through multiple materials, including heavy dense assault.

I used the 5.5 inch monster diameter to drill a hole in the garage brick wall so I could add a portable AC unit vent for when I was working in the garage woodshop.Tips: We tried drilling from the outside first, but the drill just kept circling off the area we needed the hole. So, we tried from the inside and put it on my rolling workbench as a way to stabilize it. This sucker is heavy, especially with the big hammer drill.Ease of Use: Once we got in on the brick and stabilized well, it went through nicely. However, if did take quite a while. Having the workbench as a support made it possible. It's just so heavy, it would be hard to hold without some type of stand.Connections: I did have to go through 3 different ordering of the core that connects it to the drill. I kept ordering the wrong size. So, pay careful attention to that.It made a nice, clean cut in the brick. It's actually pretty cool.

I had to cut a hole for a gas line through thick, aged stucco and wood. I thought it was going to take ages, but with this drill it was done in a couple of minutes. The one catch is that it doesn't have any sort of pilot, so I constructed a crude "frame" to hold it in place to get started. I also pointed a running hose at the bit to keep it cool. After cutting the hole the drill is barely scratched. I highly recommend this.

Kind of pricey, but it drilled a couple 4” holes in an 8” retaining wall (with a lot of patience).

👌 excelente

Hi. I’m an electrical contractor and have done a fair amount of core drilling using both the expensive Milwaukee core drill rigs and a hand-held version - both with water feed to preserve the bit. And I’ve drilled lots of very hard stone. As such, I learned if a core drill bit is good (has a high percentage of diamond granules around the cutting surface) or if one was cheaply made (with few actual diamond granules). My observation after trying to drill hard stone with this 4-1/4” diameter core drill bit is that this one was very cheaply made and has very few diamonds in it. We exerted great force on the bit (with a good flow of water) and it took several hours to cut 2” deep into the stone at which point the cutting surface was thinned out and laughing at us. I stepped back from the project, purchased a Vevor brand core bit, and it chewed through the rest of this thick stone wall like I would have expected (in less than 10 minutes). I was drawn to this bit because of the length, but please don’t waste your time. Buy some cheap core drill bit extensions if you gotta make a deep hole.
