To ensure consistent depth when drilling, it’s recommended to use a depth stop on your drilling equipment or set up a visual marker. Regularly checking and calibrating your equipment can also help maintain precision.
While the multi-layered electroplated diamond core drills are designed to produce less chipping and offer a smoother surface finish, the risk of chipping or cracking always exists, especially with fragile materials. Using the recommended water swivel adapter and ensuring proper cooling can minimize this risk.
The drilling speed will depend on the material and desired outcome. However, when drilling partially, it might be beneficial to drill at a controlled speed to prevent overshooting the intended depth.
Drilling partially might wear out the top portion of the drill’s diamond layer more quickly since only that section is engaged in the drilling process. It’s essential to monitor the wear and rotate or replace the drill as needed.
Several factors can affect the surface finish and chipping:
Material Hardness: Softer materials might get a smoother finish, while harder materials might require more careful drilling to avoid chipping.
Drilling Speed: Drilling too fast can increase the risk of chipping, especially in brittle materials.
Coolant Use: It’s highly recommended to use these drills with a water swivel adapter to provide a consistent coolant flow, reducing heat and minimizing material deformation.
Equipment Stability: Using stable and reliable equipment ensures consistent pressure and speed, leading to a better finish.
Drill Wear: A worn-out drill can result in rougher finishes and increased chipping. Regularly inspecting and replacing drills as necessary is essential.
While these drills are designed to offer an excellent surface finish, post-drilling processes like polishing or honing can further improve the surface, especially for aesthetic or precision applications.
Materials with a crystalline structure or those that are inherently brittle, like certain types of glass or quartz, might be more susceptible to chipping. However, using the correct drilling techniques, speeds, and ensuring proper coolant application can mitigate these risks.
The recommended drilling speed for these diamond core drills is 1 to 2 inches per minute. However, the feed rate, which is the rate at which the drill advances into the material, can vary depending on the specific material being drilled and the equipment being used. Here are some general guidelines:
Soft Materials (e.g., composites, soft stones): Start with a faster feed rate within the 1.5 to 2 inches per minute range, but monitor closely to ensure no excessive heat or chipping.
Medium Hardness Materials (e.g., marble, onyx): Aim for a moderate feed rate, typically around 1 to 1.5 inches per minute.
Hard and Brittle Materials (e.g., glass, quartz, optical materials): It’s advisable to start with a slower feed rate, possibly below 1 inch per minute, and adjust based on performance and material response.
While the above guidelines are a good starting point, the best approach is to run a few test drills on sample materials. Start at a conservative feed rate and incrementally increase until you achieve a balance between speed, surface finish quality, and minimal chipping.
Yes, overly aggressive feed rates can lead to faster wear and reduced drill lifespan, especially on harder materials. Conversely, too slow of a feed rate can result in inefficient drilling and excessive heat generation, which could also negatively impact the drill’s lifespan and performance.
Utilizing coolant, especially with the recommended water swivel adapters, allows for potentially faster feed rates since it reduces heat and minimizes the risk of material deformation and chipping. However, always monitor the drilling process closely to ensure optimal results.
The drill run out for these diamond core drills is specified at 0.04mm, which is equivalent to 0.00157 inches.
Run out refers to the extent to which a drill or tool deviates from its intended path or center of rotation. A low run out ensures that the drill rotates about its central axis without wobbling, leading to more precise drilling, reduced wear on the tool, a smoother surface finish, and minimized material deformation.
These Thin Wall Multi-Layered Electroplated Diamond Core Drills have a precision-crafted design that ensures a minimal run out. A run out of 0.04mm is quite low, making these drills suitable for precise and accurate drilling applications, especially when compared to some conventional drills that may have higher run out values.
Yes, the drill’s run out can be influenced by factors other than the drill itself. The accuracy and condition of the drilling equipment, the way the drill is mounted or chucked, and even the alignment and condition of the equipment’s spindle can impact the effective run out. It’s essential to ensure that all components of the drilling setup are in good condition and properly aligned to achieve the best results.
Ensuring the drill is correctly chucked or mounted, regularly checking and maintaining your equipment, and using accessories like the recommended shank adapters and water swivel adapters can help minimize run out and improve overall drilling accuracy and performance.
Yes, these diamond core drills are designed to extract core samples from various materials. The core sample will be the material inside the diameter of the drill.
These drills are optimized for materials rated 4 to 7 on Moh’s Scale of Hardness, including Glass, Quartz, Yag, Optical Materials, Marble, Onyx, soft to medium-hard natural and semi-precious stones, Composites, soft to medium-hard Technical Ceramics, and many other materials.
With the SMART CUT™ technology, these drills aim to provide chip-free performance. This means that the core samples extracted will have minimal chipping, offering a cleaner and more intact specimen.
Ensure that the material is securely clamped and stabilized to prevent any movement during the drilling process. Using the recommended water swivel adapters can help to cool the drilling site, minimize material stress, and improve the quality of the core sample. Also, make sure to feed the drill at the appropriate rate for the material to avoid undue stress or breakage.
After drilling, the core sample will typically remain inside the drill bit. To remove it, you can gently tap the drill bit against a soft surface or use a thin rod or tool to push the sample out from the drill’s opposite end. Ensure you handle the sample with care to prevent any damage.
The tolerance for the Outside Diameter (D) is ± 0.060mm. Similarly, the tolerance for the Inside Diameter (D1) is also ± 0.060mm.
The stated diameter tolerances ensure that the drills have a consistent size, which is vital for precision work. This consistent sizing ensures that holes drilled will match the intended dimensions closely, leading to accurate and repeatable results.
These diamond core drills, with their multi-layered design and precise tolerances, are made to offer higher consistency and performance compared to conventional single-layered electroplated drills. However, specific comparisons would depend on the manufacturer and quality of the conventional drill in question.
Given the tight tolerances, the drilled holes will be quite precise. If you’re using the drills to prepare holes for specific fittings or to extract samples, these tolerances ensure a consistent and accurate result, making it easier to predict and ensure proper fit or sample size.
Yes, UKAM Industrial offers customization. If you have specific requirements, it’s recommended to contact them directly to discuss the possibility of custom drills with tighter tolerances or other bespoke features.
No, diamond core drills are not typically recommended for metals. Metals tend to generate a lot of heat and can wear out the diamond grit quickly. For metals, carbide or other types of metal drills are more appropriate.
The drills are optimized for materials between 4 to 7 on Moh’s Scale. Diamond is a 10 on the scale, and sapphire is 9. While these drills might work to some extent on sapphire, they are not optimized for it, and their lifespan may be reduced. They are not recommended for use on diamonds.
These core drills are not designed for abrasive materials and would wear out super quick. For this application you need to use sintered (metal bond).
2.15”
Maximum drill depth recommendation is based on material hardness. For drilling very hard materials that are harder then 8 on mohes scale we do not recommend going beyond ½” (12.7mm) drilling depth. For deeper drilling we would recommend using sintered (metal bond) diamond core drills for these applications.
Thin wall diamond drills offer faster drilling speeds, reduced waste, and less material removal compared to their thicker counterparts.
No, thin wall diamond drills produce less friction during the drilling process, leading to reduced heat production.
Yes, thin wall drills typically produce more refined and intact core samples due to reduced stress and disturbance to the surrounding material.
Thin wall drills often result in a smoother surface finish inside the drilled hole, minimizing the need for additional post-drilling finishing.
Thin wall diamond drills typically result in less chipping around the entrance and exit of the hole, especially beneficial for fragile materials.
No, thinner walls mean reduced drilling pressure, extending the drill’s life and minimizing material damage.
Their thin profile allows coolants to more effectively reach the cutting surface, ensuring optimal cooling and reduced drill wear.
While the initial cost might be similar or slightly higher, the benefits like increased drilling speed, reduced waste, and longer drill life can make them more cost-effective for certain applications.
While they offer numerous advantages, their thin profile might make them more fragile for some tough materials or situations with potential lateral stresses. Always assess your specific needs when choosing a drill.

Diamonds are furnaces sintered in a matrix made of iron, cobalt, nickel, bronze, copper, tungsten, alloys of these powders or other metals in various combinations. Metal bonded diamond tools are “impregnated” with diamonds. This means that selected diamonds are mixed and sintered with specific metal alloys to achieve the best cutting performance possible on any materials such as sapphire, advanced ceramics, optics, glass, granite, tile and etc. The metal bond surrounding the diamonds must wear away to continuously keep re-exposing the diamonds for the diamond tool to continue cutting. Sintered (metal bonded) diamond tools are recommended for machining hard materials from 45 to 75 on rockwell scale (5 to 9.5 on mohe’s scale of hardness).
Diamond & CBN tools made utilizing SMART CUT® technology are much more aggressive than your conventional tools. They can cut faster, while still leaving behind a smooth finish free of material deformation.
In most cases tools manufactured utilizing SMART CUT® technology, will outlast other conventional Sintered (Metal Bond) diamond & CBN drills. SMART CUT® diamond & CBN tools are more sturdy than tools manufactured with conventional technologies. They are capable to retain their form and bond configuration all the way through the tools life.

SMART CUT® Sintered (metal bond) Diamond Drills have diamonds oriented and evenly distributed in a bond matrix. Providing faster, freer cutting action with minimum heat generation. This translates in improved surface finish and minimum chipping.
The newly exposed diamonds don’t effect diamonds already working on the material. Unlike many other diamond bonds, diamonds in a SMART CUT® Bond remains sharp and grow sharper with each cut, prolonging product life and consistent performance.
Diamonds or CBN Crystals are activated only at the exposed layer. As Bond Matrix layer begin to wear out, diamonds in a new Bond Matrix layer are immediately activated, substituting the already used up diamond layer. The SMART CUT® Diamond Hybrid Bond makes sure every diamond is in the right place and at the right time, working where you need it most.
This advanced formulated open diamond bond design insures minimal chipping, fast cut, constant speed of cut, minimal cutting noise, and most important of all, consistent performance.
Diamond concentration plays a critical role in determining the life and cutting speed of diamond core drills. Higher concentration offers longer tool life and faster cutting speeds, while lower concentration is typically used for softer materials that require a smoother finish.
Diamond core drills generally operate at RPMs between 500 and 3,000, depending on the material being drilled. Softer materials allow for higher RPMs, while harder materials require slower speeds for improved cutting efficiency and to avoid damaging the tool or material. Always adjust RPM according to the specific characteristics of the material and drill size.
The diamond grit size is crucial in determining the cutting speed, surface finish, and precision of diamond core drills. Finer grits provide a smoother surface finish, but may cut more slowly, while coarser grits offer faster cutting speeds but can leave a rougher surface. The choice of grit size depends on the material being drilled and the desired outcome.
The bond type used in diamond core drills influences the drill’s life, durability, and heat resistance. Common bond types for diamond core drills include: Sintered (Metal Bond): Provides a longer tool life and high resistance to wear and heat, making it ideal for drilling hard and abrasive materials. Electroplated: Offers a good combination of speed and precision, typically used for softer materials or applications where a smoother surface finish is needed. Braised Bond: Ideal for applications requiring higher strength, these bonds are used for tougher materials and applications where durability is key. PCD (Polycrystalline Diamond): Used for ultra-hard materials, PCD bond drills offer excellent wear resistance and are ideal for materials like ceramics and composite materials. <:>CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) Diamond: Offers exceptional cutting performance, often used in extremely hard materials like high-performance ceramics and advance.
The kerf, or wall thickness, of diamond core drills is a key variable in determining the overall performance of the drill. Standard core drills typically feature a kerf thickness ranging from 0.5mm to 3.0mm, with thicker kerfs providing longer tool life and greater stability during drilling. Thinner kerfs allow for faster cutting but may wear out quicker and require more frequent maintenance. The selection of kerf thickness depends on the material being drilled and the precision required.
The load/feed rate applied to diamond core drills significantly impacts their performance and lifespan. For tougher materials, feed rates typically range between 5-50 mm/min, while softer materials may allow for higher feed rates. Proper feed rate adjustment ensures optimal tool life and drilling speed, while preventing overheating or excessive wear.
The diameter of the diamond core drill is directly related to the size of the hole you wish to create. Core drills typically range from small diameters (e.g., 3mm) up to large diameters (e.g., 200mm or more). Larger core drills offer greater drilling capacity, while smaller ones provide more precision for fine hole making.
The depth of a diamond drill bit, often referred to as drilling depth, working length, or drilling length, is the maximum depth to which the drill can penetrate the workpiece. Drilling depth in diamond core drills depends on the material, drill size, and equipment. Softer materials allow for deeper holes with faster cutting, while harder materials require slower speeds and lower feed rates to prevent overheating. Larger drill diameters may reduce depth due to more material removal per rotation, often requiring multiple passes. Drilling equipment, including motor power and cooling systems, also plays a key role; more powerful motors and efficient cooling allow for deeper drilling.
For diamond core drills, the bond hardness plays a crucial role in the performance and longevity of the drill. The bond matrix's ability to retain diamonds directly impacts the drilling efficiency and the tool's lifespan. As the hardness of the bond increases, the retention of diamonds improves, but the trade-off is typically a slower cutting speed. A harder bond matrix provides greater tool life but may lead to reduced cutting efficiency.
There are generally three categories for bond hardness in diamond core drills: Soft, Medium, and Hard. The bond's hardness is selected based on the material being drilled. For example, harder materials such as ceramics or hard metals often require a softer bond to allow the diamonds to be released at a controlled rate, preventing excessive wear and improving cutting performance. Conversely, softer and more brittle materials like concrete or certain composites benefit from a harder bond, which maintains the diamond's retention and extends the drill's lifespan, though it may slow the cutting process.
Using the right bond hardness for the material you're drilling is key to optimizing both cutting speed and tool life. A bond that is too soft will cause diamonds to be released too quickly, resulting in faster wear and a shorter drill life. On the other hand, a bond that is too hard may cause the drill to cut slower and require more frequent dressing to expose new diamonds.
The mounting type of a diamond core drill refers to how the drill is secured to the drilling machine or equipment. The mounting type plays a significant role in stability, precision, and overall drilling performance. Here are the typical mounting types for diamond core drills:
Unmounted diamond core drills:
Unmounted diamond core drills are specialized tools designed for precision drilling without being pre-mounted to any specific holding mechanism such as a male, female, or straight shank. These drills comprise a steel tube paired with a diamond-embedded segment, offering flexibility in setup and application.
Shaft Mounting:
In this type, the diamond core drill is mounted directly onto a shaft or spindle of the drilling machine. The shaft typically has a locking mechanism (like a set screw or collar) to securely hold the drill in place. This mounting method ensures a stable connection and allows for precise drilling. Shaft mounting is commonly used in machines where the drill operates at high speeds and requires excellent stability.
Threaded Mounting:
Some diamond core drills feature a threaded arbor or core bit holder, allowing the drill to be screwed directly onto the machine's spindle. This method is commonly found in portable core drilling systems or for specific applications like wet drilling, where easy removal and installation are essential.
Choosing the right mounting type for your diamond core drill depends on factors such as the size of the drill, the type of drilling machine, and the specific application requirements. Proper mounting ensures optimal performance, stability, and safety during the drilling process.
The tolerance range for the outside diameter of diamond core drills varies depending on several factors including the drill's diameter, wall thickness, bond type, and the intended application. These tolerances are crucial as they determine the drill's suitability for precision tasks and influence how the drill interacts with the material it cuts.
For small diamond core drills with diameters less than 10mm, the diameter tolerance typically ranges from ±0.02 to ±0.05 mm. This tight tolerance is necessary for applications that require high accuracy, such as in electronics or medical device manufacturing, where small, precise holes are crucial.
Medium-sized drills, ranging from 10mm to 50mm in diameter, usually have a tolerance of ±0.05 to ±0.15 mm. These are commonly used in mechanical applications and construction where slightly larger variances are acceptable.
Runout is a critical specification for diamond drills as it directly impacts the quality of the holes drilled and the longevity of the tool itself. The term "runout" refers to the degree to which a tool or workpiece deviates from perfect rotation along its central axis. High runout can lead to uneven wear on the tool, compromised hole quality, and increased heat generation, which are particularly detrimental when drilling hard, brittle materials such as glass, ceramics, and certain stones where precision is critical.
Standard and Precision Diamond Drills - Standard diamond drills typically exhibit runout ranging from 0.0005 inches (0.013mm) to 0.002 inches (0.05mm), which is acceptable for general-purpose drilling where absolute precision is not necessary. However, "standard" runout may vary based on the drill's manufacturer and specific applications. Precision diamond drills, manufactured to higher standards with stricter tolerances, usually have runout less than 0.0002 inches (0.005mm), with ultra-precision drills potentially having even tighter runout specifications.
