New Metabo 1-piece Rotary Hammer Core Bits

Increases Drilling Efficiency in Concrete and Brick Applications


WEST CHESTER, Pa., Oct. 24 - Metabo Corporation, a
leading international manufacturer of professional grade portable electric
power tools and abrasives for industrial, construction and welding
applications, now offers a family of 1-piece core bits for rotary hammers
that increases the efficiency of drilling into hard, solid materials such
as concrete, block and brick.
The new 1-piece core bit is widely used by plumbing, electrical and
mechanical contractors in applications such as drilling for railing
installations, through wall drilling for electrical conduit, plumbing and
sanitary pipe and relocating anchors using chemical anchoring systems or
grout-in-place anchors. Specialty applications include pest control as well
as rigging and firestop systems.
Compared to traditional systems comprised of individual core bits,
extension shanks, centering bits and threaded arbors that need to be pieced
together, Metabo's 1-piece core bit is a simple, single component that is
more efficient at transferring the hammer's blow to the material being
drilled and is easier to use. This makes the rotary hammer accessory faster
at drilling and more effective than the modular system.
The carbide tipped bits come in diameters from 1-1/2" to 6" and overall
lengths of 12" and 22". The 1-piece core bit is sold as a complete set and
is available with either an SDS-Max or Spline drive shank for individual
applications.
