The MK Diamond MK Premium 4-inch (102 mm) dry masonry core bit is made for drilling clean round holes in soft brick and concrete block without a water feed. It threads onto a standard 5/8 inch-11 nut and runs on most hand-held drills, so electricians, plumbers, HVAC installers and remodelers can open up conduit, pipe and vent penetrations in block walls using the drill already on the truck.
Built for
- Conduit and cable penetrations through block and brick walls
- Plumbing and drain line openings in masonry
- Dryer, exhaust and vent openings in block or soft brick
- Remodeling and retrofit work where running water is not practical
Laser-welded construction and an inventive bar-slot design are meant to promote efficiency, reliability and safety. The 10 inch barrel gives a 9-1/4 inch drilling depth, and the 7.5 mm segments are the cutting edge that does the work.
