What do you do with the pilot drill when using diamond cores, remove after a couple of inches in?

Just use pilot to start hole in correct location. A Vee cut in piece of ply will serve same purpose.

With marcrists pc850 cores u can use the pilot on same setting as coring without removing, set is same price as drill though so my current cores will do lol, I don't even use a pilot just angle the core to get a start

Ive had my makita core drill for about 8 years now, needed a new clutch last year which cost me £110 I think and its still going strong

Marita here as well, but I only use quality diamond core drills. Cheap core drills bits ruin clutches

I have the above for sale £100 plus P&p used for three 110mm cores in standard domestic brick. I very rarely do instals now and if I do its usually a combi swap in same hole, please note core bit not included

You're probably better off putting that in the "For sale and wanted" forum mate. Likely to be overlooked in here..

In need of a new drill after my friend has completely ruined my dewalt, burnt out on motor side and wouldn't be worth repairing my guy who fixes them said!

Looking at. Macrist DDM1 but it has some bad reviews, anyone have one??

Depends if you want to core holes like a diyer or fly through walls like a pro Marcrist DDM3 Diamond Core Drill 240v 7750.001.001 | Buy Marcrist Core Drilling Machines Online from Pro Tiler Tools

I managed to bag a DDM1 for £150 (ex display) from my local buildbase last year to replace my tired makita. not too heavy and has gone through 30 or so core holes varying from 40mm to 152mm all with ease coupled with some of the good macrist cores. In all honesty i dont recall having a tough hole to do with it yet, you know the toilet waste in an old terraced bathroom solid wall sodden as you like:rolleyes2:. It developed a slight leak around the seal but sent it off and it was back repaired within a week FOC of course. So for me very good drill for the money and more than happy with the customer service.

Those of us old enough to remember starting handles were taught to grip without using thumb. If using drill without clutch grip in like manner.
