now i have had the clutch sorted on this,must say its a impressive bit of kit,smashed this 127mm through in 6 mins flat,however as with all core drills its dusty,i could wet core but that would be messy,anyone got the macrist dust extractor and i take it it cant be used with a slotted core?

 

[Howsie]

It's a lovely drill. I have the dust extractor and it works well with my slotted cores.

i had a deal offer had the drill and a 3 core unslotted set,still have a few slotted cores though,does it screw onto the drill and then the extension arm into it?

Aye the dust extractors work fine. You need the solid cores tho.
Screwfix do a set of core bits with an extractor in the box

 

[tamz]

It fits onto the threaded adaptor before the core. You need to use the tubular extension bars

And me when i started with my dad,he is paying the price now though,hit his hand a few times with the lump hammer

 

[tamz]

I had permanently broken bones on the back of my left hand until i was about 20 and learned not to miss. Then i bought a 6lb hammer lol

fast compared to stitch drilling

 

[Leo21]

Ive got a good set up, but way to dusty to use inside a property. I stitch drill it, less dust. And it only takes me ten minutes.
I've yet to find a good extraction set up.

bit low for a flue?

Old school guy, stitch drill ? Hammer & chisel ?

 

[hammers4spanner]

Yes mate although I have ditched the lump hammer and chisel and got an sds chisel.

Just can't be dealing of the mess from a core drill

 

[ShaunCorbs]

What did you do with the clutch ?

 

[Rich8]

Is it really worth the £550 price tag ? I've been looking at it for a while thinking its a bit pricey

Indeed it does.

Ive got the Macrist percussion core set (blue) with the extractor adaptor, supposed to use a fancy hoover but I'm a "poor plumber" so I use a Hetty, she sucks plenty and would highly recommend.

Think I got the set from core drill city on line.

 

[jonnyswamp]

I bought the kit about 12/14 yrs ago from hire center (part of plumbs group etc)
Makita 8406 (I think), Marcrist core set and a Marcrist wet/dry hoover with the dust extraction adapter
The hoover still sucks like a **** star and when the adapter is used, it's no more dusty than drilling to hang a rad
The end of the day the custard got to realise you can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs, so a small amount of dust is to be expected

What did you do with the clutch ?

drilling wet brick probably did it but marcrist felt it was underset so sorted it PDQ
