Just been good to myself

[CES]

After years of making do with an old core drill and cheap cores Ive went and ordered a new machine and set of cans.

Marcrist DDM2 Diamond Core Drill 2 Speed 240 Volt

I know they have a newer one but I just fancied one of these.

PTS sell extension bars for about a tenner for a 250mm or 300mm whatever it is. You can keep joining them together.
Deepest hole i've cored is about 6ft (that doesn't sound right :smile from a pub toilet (worse :blush5: ) through at an angle to above a suspended ceiling. Just kept adding extensions. Lots of extensions puts a lot of strain on the gun tho.

Gave it a go today, am very impressed, put 162mm core through in no time. Only slight criticism is its no the most ergonomic design and would probably be a little uncomfortable to use for a prolonged period, but all in all well recommended.
