Wood bit: parameters and dimensions, types and application features

The chisel as the main carpentry device for making holes and recesses in wood has largely lost its relevance. At the same time, the problem of crooked cavities and the need for constant sharpening of the tool disappeared. The labor-intensive process is simplified with a device that can easily perform circular drilling. wood core bit

Crowns are large-diameter wood drills with a cutting edge in the form of teeth.

Varieties of wood drills: from thin spirals to large diameter crowns

Wood is a universal material that can be used both in the manufacture of elegant decorative elements and in the construction of buildings and other large-scale objects. Wood is easy to process; for this purpose, the industry produces a large number of tools for various purposes. Among them are the following:

twist drills. There is such a tool in almost every home. The diameter of the nozzles has a range of 3-52 mm. Drills up to 10 mm are made with a smooth shank; more powerful products are equipped with a hexagonal element, which promotes strong clamping, which is necessary due to the increased load on the cutting segment;

One of the types of ring drills is considered to be a wood crown.

feather drills. The tool is quite difficult to use. Outwardly it resembles a knife, sharpened from different sides. The functionality of such a nozzle is limited; it is not recommended to make deep holes with it, since chip removal is not provided;
Forstner drills. The side blades are located around the circumference. The tool produces very clean cuts and is made of durable carbon steel;
crowns These are large-diameter wood drills with a tooth-shaped cutting edge located on a round end.

The content of this article will be devoted specifically to crowns, their technical characteristics and methods of use.

Pobedite bit for drilling

These are the most versatile and at the same time cheapest crowns. Cheapness, coupled with a sufficient working resource, makes this type of crown the most popular among other types when it comes to performing a small amount of work. This is where we will focus. The design is very simple, hence the main parameter - reliability. The main element is the “cup”; this is what you should pay attention to when purchasing products. When changing crowns, it becomes possible to select the required drilling depth. Therefore, if you need to drill a hole in depth with a crown, then it is best to choose more massive crowns. There are special (professional) crowns, they are very strong, but their price is expectedly higher. But even with a simple household tool you can make very precise cuts, but you must comply with the permissible amount of work, otherwise there is a high risk of early wear of the pobedite bit.

Important!

Pobedite bits are designed exclusively for dry drilling and should not be watered at all. The material does not tolerate sudden temperature changes very well. It is also necessary to know for sure whether there is steel reinforcement in the building’s structure; if so, then you need to work extremely carefully, and moreover, there is a risk of breaking the crown. If you are sure that there is definitely no reinforcement, then you can safely move on to the second part of your work, namely direct drilling.

Let's proceed from the fact that there is no reinforcement in the house, and we naturally choose pobedite crowns. They are very cheap (relatively speaking) and are ideal for small-scale work.

Wood bit: device and principle of operation

A wood hole saw, also called a hole saw, core drill or end mill, is shaped like a cylinder with one end ending in a shank and the other with a serrated cutting edge. This device serves as an attachment for the torque elements of drills, hammer drills, and screwdrivers intended for manual work. It is possible to use circular cutters for machine tools.

The crown is installed in a special glass and secured with a nut. Each hole saw comes with a drill bit that extends beyond the line of the cutting teeth, allowing you to accurately determine the center of the hole and ensure a perfectly straight cut.

The cutting head is made in the form of a solid cylindrical edge with sharp teeth.

The crown can be either a monolithic structure - a cylinder with a serrated edge, or a collapsible one - cutting rings of different sizes are inserted into a round seat.

If it is necessary to make a perfectly correct and clean hole, bimetallic wood crowns are used. They are made of high-strength steel and cobalt. This connection makes the tool durable in use.

On a note! When choosing a wood crown, you should carefully study its technical characteristics and compare it with the equipment available for the hammer drill (drill, screwdriver). A discrepancy can lead to both damage to the bit and damage to the power tool.

How the tile cutting process is performed

There is a certain algorithm that should be followed when using a tool for drilling holes in tiles, like a ballerina.

First of all, on the front side of the tile it is necessary to mark the center of the future hole, for which you can use a regular core.
The cutter or cutters of the ballerina, which will do the main work of cutting the material, are installed and fixed at the required distance from the axis of the central drill.
It is advisable to lubricate the area of the tile on which the cut will be made with machine oil. In this case, you should make sure that it does not fall into the center of the circle, which can lead to the drill slipping.
The drill, located and rotating in the center of the future hole in the tile, must pass through its surface before the cutters, so it must be longer than their protruding part.
The tile in which the hole is made using a ballerina must be firmly fixed on a flat surface of a wooden board or drywall. To ensure such fixation, you can use ordinary clamps.
Drilling the hole is carried out at low speeds of the tool, and it is advisable to constantly water the groove formed on the tile with machine oil.
After the cut in the tile has been made to more than half its thickness, and the central drill has passed through the material being processed, the product is turned over and similar processing is performed on its reverse side.
The tile is drilled to the end from the back side, and the edge of the resulting hole, which may not be too smooth, is processed using a file, emery cloth or a grinding machine.

Despite the fact that the holes made with the help of a ballerina do not have very smooth edges, it is quite reasonable to use it to perform not too voluminous work. In addition, the uneven edges of the holes will later be hidden by external panels of electrical outlets and other decorative elements.

Technological parameters and sizes of wood crowns

The operational capabilities of a crown directly depend on its technological parameters. They are the ones that are evaluated when choosing one type of attachment or another. The main indicators include:

height. It is equal to the distance from the surface to the lowest point of the sample that the cutter performs in one pass. Usually it is standard and equal to 40 mm;

The bit consists of a cutting head, a shank and a pilot drill with a pointed end.

diameter. Wood crowns vary depending on the outer diameter of the cutting part. Products from the sets have an indicator of 30-150 mm. The diameter of separately sold nozzles can reach 300 mm;
number and profile of teeth. The larger the diameter of the crown, the greater the number of teeth the cutting edge is equipped with. They can have the shape of a regular triangle or have a top inclined by 30-40° (the inclination is the same for all teeth);
additional tool functions. Some devices can perform reverse rotation, that is, change the direction of movement of the crown. This option is most often used by professionals in their work;
engine power and the ability to adjust the speed. These indicators should be comparable to the type of nozzle. For example, when using a 68 mm wood bit, the permissible speed is 950 rpm. For a 110 mm crown – 500 rpm. The larger the crown, the fewer revolutions are needed to perform the job well.

Note! If it is impossible to reduce the speed of a working power tool, you should use a special stand, which can be purchased at the appropriate stores.

How to drill a large hole in tiles

The need to drill large-diameter holes in tiles arises when preparing a place for installing pipes and other plumbing communications, as well as for installing electrical sockets. To drill such holes in tiles, special tools are used, which can be a tubular drill, a ballerina drill for tiles, etc.

The ballerina, with which you can create holes of various diameters in tiles, is somewhat reminiscent in its design of an adjustable drill bit used for working with wood products. The ballerina works on the principle of a compass: the central drill serves to center it, and the working cutter, which can move along a special bracket, cuts a hole of the required diameter on the surface of the tile. By adjusting the position of the cutter, it is possible to obtain holes whose diameter is in the range of 30–90 mm.

Drilling a hole with a ballerina

At the same time, the ballerina is unproductive, since you can only work with it at low drill speeds. Moreover, such a tool is not very convenient to use, since it is quite difficult to hold it in one position.

More effective (but also expensive) is a circular tile drill, which is often called a tubular drill. Its cutting part can be coated with diamond or tungsten carbide.

Drilling tiles with a tubular drill without a center begins at low speeds, slightly deflecting the drill from a vertical position

When using a tubular drill, you should adhere to a number of rules:

perform drilling at a rotation speed not exceeding 500 rpm;
intensively cool the tool during processing;
use the tool only on a stationary drilling machine, if its design does not provide for it.

Scope of application and operating features of wood crowns 50, 60, 68 mm

One of the quite frequently used ones is a crown with a diameter of 50 mm. It can be sold either separately or as a set. The nozzle is made of carbon steel, but you can also find products made of hardened metal. Number of cutting teeth – 30-34 pcs. Any type of this natural material, including wood boards with a laminated coating, can be treated with a 50 mm wood crown.

For hard trees (oak, hornbeam, beech, etc.), it is better to use circular saws made from carbon steel or bimetal. Such attachments will cope well with dense structures, performing a neat and correct cut, and will also last much longer.

The technical and operational characteristics of 60 mm wood crowns largely coincide with the properties of models with a diameter of 50 mm described above. This option is in demand and is used for various household needs, as well as in the manufacture of furniture. You can purchase bits with a diameter of 50 and 60 mm in any store that sells power tools, as well as directly from the manufacturer. The second option will not require overpayment for commercial services. The simplest metal models will cost 100-130 rubles.

A crown with a diameter of 68 mm is a “classic of the genre.” This is the most common and frequently used model, since it is used to make sockets for socket boxes in wooden walls and wall sandwich panels, which include wood boards. The attachments are made of alloy or carbon steel, which ensures an ideal cut of wood of any quality.

Peculiarities

The main feature of the ballerina drill (its full name sounds more than impressive - “adjustable circular drill with cutters”) is the ability to change the diameter of the circle being cut. The distance between the cutting elements can be adjusted using an auxiliary scale on the mounting rod. If maximum accuracy is required, then you will have to use a caliper. This is quite convenient when it becomes necessary to make a hole for a pipe or other round part without backlash.

The second distinguishing feature is the number of incisors. It can be from one to three, and the quality of processing of the edges of the cut holes depends on this. If you purchased an adjustable drill with one cutting element, then you need to be prepared for the tool to “beat”. Vibration increases with increasing diameter of the cut hole: the larger it is, the higher the runout. This is due to the fact that there is no balancing relative to the longitudinal axis.

Wood crown 100 mm, 110 mm, 120 mm: types, prices, material of manufacture

Crowns with a diameter of 100, 110, 120 mm are more often used for the manufacture of decorative products. During repairs, they can be used to install distribution boxes for various communications. This diameter requires the corresponding power of the power tool to which the nozzle will be attached, and it should not be less than 800 W.

When using nozzles with a diameter of 120 mm, you need to select a tool that is appropriate in terms of power.

Wood crowns 110-120 mm belong to the medium-sized type, so all manufacturers have them, which allows you to choose the appropriate option both in terms of technical and price indicators.

Products can be sold as separate attachments or as removable rings as part of sets. High-strength steel is used as the manufacturing material. Some manufacturers (Bosh, Matrix, Biber) make bimetallic hole saws of this diameter, which are highly durable and have a good service life.

Before using bits of this size, there is no need to pre-cut the hole, and after drilling there is no need to treat the internal surface.

The price range for these attachments is significant. For example, a 120 mm Matrix wood crown costs 300 rubles, an analogue costs 80 rubles.

Crowns can be sold as individual attachments or as removable rings as part of sets.

What is a ballerina

The cutting tool, commonly called a ballerina, also has a more professional name - “circular adjustable drill with cutters.” The drill is located in the central part of the tool and is used to center the hole. The radius of the circle that the cutters will describe is measured from the center line of this drill.

To equip ballerinas, drills of the first or auger type are used, since a conical tool does not cope well with ceramic materials and can slide off their surface. The result of such slipping can be damage to both the tool itself and the surface of the tile.

Ballerina on tiles differs from a nozzle designed for drilling holes in wood materials

Technical and operational characteristics of wood crowns 127 mm, 150 mm, 160 mm

Wood crowns 127, 150, 160 mm are classified as large diameter bits. Almost all of them are bimetallic models, since drilling large holes requires a durable cutting tool. The 127mm diameter bit may be sold separately, but is often the largest bit in a bit set.

The price of a separate bimetallic version reaches 1000 rubles. A set of metal crowns can be purchased for almost the same money - 900-1000 rubles.

Wood crowns 150 mm are successfully used when performing repair work. With their help, holes are made for ventilation, lamps, and septic tanks are installed. For such a crown, you need a power tool with the ability to adjust the speed. The first cuts are made at a frequency of 950-1300 rpm, for subsequent cuts the rotation speed must be reduced to 500-600 rpm.

DeWalt and Bosh crowns are especially popular. Products from these manufacturers have increased strength, in which the cutting part is not damaged even when it comes into contact with metal elements.

Crowns with a diameter of 127 mm are most often sold in sets.

Wood crowns 160 mm can be used to perform decorative work on wood, as well as during construction or repair work in houses built from timber. This bimetallic nozzle successfully penetrates even the hardest layers of wood, leaving behind an ideal inner surface. Technical and operational characteristics practically coincide with the properties of 150 mm crowns, but the price is slightly higher (10-12%).

On a note! When making holes with large-diameter crowns in particle boards, do not put pressure on the cutting edge in case of difficult passage - small chips may form on the upper edges of the hole.

Features of working with the tool

The principle of working with a circular drill is simple. A hole is drilled using a centering drill, and then the cutters are put to work. They gradually make a narrow groove, gradually cutting through the material in a circle to the full depth.

The materials used in working with the ballerina are varied: wood, fiberboard, chipboard, MDF, plasterboard, plastic. One common point is that the thickness of the part should be no more than 15-20 millimeters. This parameter is limited by the length of the incisors. Usually the manufacturer indicates the maximum drilling depth on the packaging. If you try to drill into thicker material, you may experience problems with ragged edges.

The use of a tool with one cutter is characterized by runout. This is caused by a lack of balancing relative to the longitudinal axis of the drill. The beating will be especially noticeable when cutting large diameter holes. Cut holes using a drill at low or medium speed. When working on a drilling machine, such problems do not arise.

Also, a laminated or veneered surface can cause inconvenience when working. After passing through the decorative layer, drilling proceeds without problems.

A feature of the circular drill can be considered the ability to adjust the diameter. The distance between the cutters can be set using a scale on a rod or more accurately using a caliper. This is convenient if you need to make a hole without gaps for a pipe or round part.

The spacing of the cutters relative to the center is adjusted individually. It is necessary to align the cutting parts as accurately as possible. This will eliminate unnecessary effort during operation and extend the life of the tool.

Wood crowns 210 mm: selection of power tools, prices

A crown with a diameter of 210 mm is a reliable attachment. More often it is purchased by professionals to perform construction and repair work. Moreover, it can make holes not only in wood, but also in plaster, sheet steel, and plastic. The product is bimetallic, durable.

Not every power tool is compatible with such an attachment. This could be a hammer drill or a powerful drill. No screwdriver will ensure full operation of such a hole saw. The power of the device should not be lower than 1300 W. The function of changing the speed is required. A nozzle of this size is often used for stationary devices, since manually working with a hammer drill with such a cutter is quite problematic.

The price of crowns with a diameter of 210 mm varies significantly among different manufacturers.

For uninterrupted and high-quality operation of crowns on wood of large diameter (210-250 mm), the speed should be set correctly:

the optimal indicator for drilling soft wood is 350-400 rpm;
when making holes in hard wood – 500-600 rpm.

These attachments are often sold as a separate option rather than as a set. The price of crowns with a diameter of 210 mm varies significantly among different manufacturers. For example, a similar hole saw from the American company DeWalt will cost 630 rubles. A nozzle with absolutely identical technical and operational characteristics “Bison” costs 1030 rubles.

Specifications

Carbon steel is used to make the device. It is an alloy of carbon and iron. The amount of carbon determines the strength of the tool, its ability to resist load. For greater wear resistance, less sensitivity to overheating and deformation, some manufacturers add chromium, silicon, tungsten, vanadium, and molybdenum to the alloy. For example, the P6M5 marking indicates that the steel from which the cutter or drill can be made contains 6% tungsten, 5% molybdenum, this increases strength.

For strength and increased service life, the drill tip can be tipped with carbide. Such devices give a cutting depth of 30 mm, and without soldering - 25 mm.

Comfortable operating speeds for the tool will be from 1000 rpm to 1400 rpm.

The ballerina, depending on the functional accessory, makes holes whose radius ranges from 20 to 150 mm, while the diameter of the cut circle will be 2 times larger. For example, using a tabletop drilling machine or drill, a ballerina for metal allows you to cut or drill holes in metal with a radius from 22 to 105 mm. The thickness of the material being processed should be up to 14 mm. The material can be steel, cast iron, brass, bronze, aluminum.

Bosch wood crowns: types of attachments, applications, prices

Bosch tools have long been established in the domestic market and almost always occupy a leading position. Bosch is a brand that does not enjoy past merits, but confirms its status with constant improvement of technology. Products from this manufacturer have the following characteristics:

good quality material. Small-diameter bits are mainly made of high-speed steel, wood bits 110 mm or more are bimetallic (high-speed steel alloyed with cobalt), resistant to mechanical loads and ensuring an even cut when making holes;

Bosch bits are durable, do not overheat, and do not deform during the sawing process.

variety of species. The Bosch company offers saw bits with sizes from 14 to 152 mm, sets with a set of 5-13 attachments, saw blades for 5-8 elements. The latter are a convenient option for making rough holes in hard and soft materials;
optimal configuration. All drill bits from this manufacturer come with Power Change adapters: for drills it’s a hexagon, for hammer drills it’s an SDS Plus mount.

Bosch hole saws can be used to make holes in sheet metal, wood, laminated wood boards, plasterboard, plastic, laminate, and multi-layer materials. The price of crowns ranges from 400 rubles for a 14 mm nozzle, 1000 rubles for a 120 mm wood crown to 3500 rubles for a 300 mm bimetallic hole saw.

Note! Having chosen a Bosch hole saw, you should simultaneously purchase cutting oil and a spare centering drill (if you plan to use the hole saw intensively and for a long time) from this manufacturer. These necessary consumables will ensure high-quality operation of the tool for a long time.

Types of instruments

In addition to the classic two-cutting version of a circular drill, there are one- and three-cutting models. In the design of a single-cut drill, the cutting part is directly fixed to the rod. The cutter and centering lance are equipped with carbide plates. They make it easier for a ballerina to work on tiles.

In three-incisor models, the incisors are mounted on a round platform on which there are grooves. The cutters move along these grooves. They have a scale. Correctly set size allows you to cut more accurately and quickly.

Currently, some models are equipped with a protective grille made of plastic. It improves work efficiency and convenience.

The ballerina for metal is equipped with plates made of hard alloy with sharpening of a cutting turning tool. High cutting force dictates the use of stationary or portable radial drilling machines. Basically, holes are cut in galvanized sheets, the thickness of which does not exceed one millimeter.

A worthy product of domestic production: a set of wood crowns “Bison”

"Zubr" is a domestic manufacturer of hand-held power tools, including ring drills for working on wood, wood materials, plaster, and plastic. Wood crown sets are especially popular. “Zubr” is a company that not only produces high-quality goods, but also provides them with worthy support, taking care of customers. Having picked up a cardboard package, you can easily find on it all the necessary information about the number of items, the quality of the material, the method of application and compliance with the power tool.

produces wood crowns with centering drills made of high-tech tool steel.

The kit units are conveniently placed in a compact plastic case, on the inside of the upper part of which there is a detailed assembly diagram of the nozzle. The standard kit includes the following items: 5 hole saws, a centering drill, a hex shank, a trim strip and a key. The kits can have drills of different sizes: from 64 to 102 mm, from 33 to 83 mm, etc.

The main material for making wood crowns “Bison” is high-quality carbon steel. The medium tungsten carbide chip, which forms the basis of the spraying, allows you to make even cuts and significantly extends the service life of the cutting edge.

A set of ring attachments costs 500-700 rubles. Kits with a large number of circular saws (10-12) have a price of 1000-1500 rubles.

Characteristics of metal for drill

The drilling process is the mechanical and physical impact of the drill, therefore the raw material from which it is made must have properties such as:

Strength. This will ensure drilling through thick layers of wood.
Fatigue strength. It characterizes the drill’s ability to withstand cyclic loads when in contact with wood.
Plastic. Allows you to carry out operations to prepare the drill for work.
Hardness. Determines the durability of the metal.
Heat resistance. Preserves the mechanical properties of the drill when heated at high drilling speeds.
Corrosion resistance. Possibility of drilling into raw wood.

Affordable and functional option: Anchor wood crowns

Enkor crowns are manufactured in China and sold by a Russian company located in the city of Voronezh. Compared to Bosch products, these attachments are a more simplified option, but at the same time they do not lose their performance. With their help, you can make blind and through holes in wood, wood boards, plasterboard and plastic.

Anchor bits are installed on a regular household drill and are suitable for working with wood, plastic, plywood, chipboard, and MDF.

For the manufacture of nozzles, mainly high-strength steel is used, which has an external coating that protects against corrosion. For the sake of objectivity, it should be noted that during work the protective layer is significantly damaged by mechanical influences, so it is worth providing the necessary conditions for the safety of the tool.

Anchor bits up to 65 mm have a shank with a diameter of 19 mm, bits for wood 68 mm and more are equipped with a 32 mm fastener.

It is worth noting that the products of this manufacturer are distinguished by a variety of sizes, which allows you to select the desired diameter and make a hole without additional drilling and unnecessary voids. For example, in the range from 80 to 90 mm, you can choose a nozzle of 80, 82, 85, 88, 90 mm.

Anchor hole saws are characterized by affordable prices. You can actually buy a 22 mm crown for just 50 rubles. A very popular version of the nozzle with a diameter of 70 mm costs 100 rubles. The price of a 127 mm crown is 175 rubles.

Bimetallic products do not dull for a long time, even in contact with nails and fittings.

Hole saws from this manufacturer do not have a long service life. With proper use and storage, they will serve for a long time, fulfilling their purpose with dignity.

Where and what drill is best to buy?

As for foreign-made tile drills, the domestic market offers mainly American, Polish and German models. Their price is much higher than domestic ones, and the packaging is more beautiful. In terms of quality, they are not much different from Russian ones. Therefore, there is no need to overpay. A separate price category consists of the so-called “professional” tile drills. Not everyone can afford them. But they are also very easy and convenient to work with. Their appearance is also simply amazing. The soldering of the plates is carried out with the highest degree of care and precision, the joints are almost invisible. The tip is sharpened in such a way that it is simply impossible to replicate at home. In addition, these tile drills also differ from ordinary ones in that they have a set service life, during which they cannot become dull. After its expiration, the drill loses its “professional” status and, after sharpening at home, can be used as usual.

Simplicity of the device and wide possibilities: ballerina on wood

If it is necessary to make a large-diameter hole in the material, a drill can be used, which in everyday life has received a very euphonious name - ballerina (due to the external similarity of the separated cutting elements of the device with the image of a dancer). Such a device consists of a centering drill and cutters, which move apart along the guide in different directions at the same distance, thereby outlining the dimensions of the diameter of the future hole. Most ballerinas have two incisors, but there are also models with three.

The operating principle of this type of drill bit:

the central drill makes a hole in the material;
the incisors mark a circle line, which determines the size of the future recess;
The device is set in motion manually (using a rotary tool) or using a rotary power tool.

Most ballerinas have two or three incisors.
With a ballerina, you can make holes in wood, wood materials, drywall, ceramic tiles, and plastic. This attachment is inexpensive and quite suitable for non-professionals.

On a note! When using a ballerina as an attachment for a manual mechanism, efforts should be made when carrying out the centering and first rotational movements of the incisors, outlining the contour of the future recess. Uncertain movements can cause chips on the top edge of the material.

DIY making

When you don’t have a device at hand that can cut a circle from wood or other material, you can try to make it yourself. To do this, you will need a collet holder and a set of the required size of feather drills. A collet holder is a clamping mechanism that is used to clamp a rotating cutting tool. It can be made from a bolt, the diameter of which depends on the chuck of the rotator, machine tool or drill. The head of the bolt needs to be cut off and sawed crosswise along the thread side.

The center drill is sharpened into a cone, and the cutting drill into a wedge. In this case, the end of the center drill should be 3-5 mm longer.

The drill is held in place by two nuts: one is a clamping nut, the other is a guide. If holes with a constant radius are cut, then the drill can be welded to the holder.

Wood core drill: conditions for proper use

For a tool to function properly, it must be used correctly. This means compliance with the standards and requirements of technical specifications, use in accordance with the intended purpose and compliance with the rules during work:

a drill with a crown attachment cannot operate continuously for a long time, as it heats up significantly. It is necessary to either equip the tool with an additional cooling system, or take a 15-minute break after every 30-40 minutes of work;

You should choose drills for core bits with high power and a comfortable handle.

Manufacturers do not produce special crowns for drywall; wood cutters are used for drilling this material. The power of a power tool with torque may be much lower than the optimal value for drilling, for example, beech;
When working with bits, you should consider the way the shank is connected to the cylinder. If flat soldering is used, it is necessary to avoid lateral loads on the device and be sure to take breaks in work to prevent overheating and the appearance of defects at the joint. In the case when the shank is inserted into the seating part of the bit and soldered, an additional support appears - a shoulder, as a result of which the strength of the connection becomes significantly higher;
You need to pay attention to the price of wood crowns. You cannot intensively use an attachment purchased for 50-70 rubles and expect a long period of its full operation. For this type of tool, price and resource are directly dependent.

With proper use, the tool will last much longer.
Any tool requires skillful use. When working with crown attachments, it is not so much experience that is important as awareness regarding the technical capabilities of the device and the intended application. The market offers hole saws for both amateur craftsmen and professionals. It's important to make smart choices.

Drilling a concrete wall with a crown

It is necessary to work extremely carefully, first we very quietly drill the first 5 mm of the wall at extremely low speeds, this is necessary so that in the further process of work we do not go sideways and the hole is not crooked. Next, we continue to work; you should not squeeze the hammer too much, because making a hole should occur solely due to the rotational movements of the head. If there is a need to increase the original diameter, then you can resort to simple manipulations with rocking, this will allow you to slightly expand the hole. If you hold the hammer in a straight position, there is a chance that the diameter will be slightly narrower.

But don’t be overzealous; after a couple of minutes of active work, you should take out the crown, look at its condition and let the tool with the attachment cool. The tail may simply burst due to increased load. Before removing the hammer drill, do not stop its operation completely, this will eliminate the possibility of damage to the hammer.

Next, take a hammer and a good chisel, then insert the chisel into the lower part of the hole made and hit it. It is necessary to drive the chisel approximately 2 mm. This will help you extract everything that was left inside during the drilling process and compressed into the hole. You need to work carefully so as not to accidentally expand the required diameter.

Thus, gradually increasing the pace, it is necessary to make the necessary hole in the concrete wall, but if you have reinforcement in the wall, then the entire procedure should be carried out similarly to that described, but only on the condition that the pobedit crown will need to be replaced with a diamond one. But the diamond drill should be constantly watered with water to simplify the work, but you should not water the drill itself.

After finishing the work, completely clean the holes from dust and dirt. We collect all the tools, and you can begin installing the necessary equipment in the wall.
