To carry out any form of testing requires straight & clean sided core samples. Vibration of a diamond core drill during the coring process will result in a badly finished core that will need to be dressed before any meaningful testing can be carried out. In addition vibration of a core drill will also quickly damage the diamond cutting face by erosion of the individual diamonds resulting in rapid wear rates. Coring should always be carried out using a rigid, stable & vibration free operating platforms to ensure the integrity of core samples.
The drill stand is a steel framed unit manufactured in mild steel with a high quality powder coated and oven baked paint finish giving a quality appearance and long lasting protection. Its rigid drill platform can be permanently fastened to the floor and is therefore ideally suited for use in a test environment. It can drill cores from a sample of asphalt or concrete material held by a clamp mechanism situated within the water tank. The drill stand is complete with a water swivel that allows connection to a water supply thus providing a coolant to the drill bit face.
