    How do Hilti diamond coring systems help improve productivity and safety?

    Easier system set-up

    Because setting up your core drill should be simpler.

    Hilti core drill stands help get you up and working faster. You don’t need tools or keys to mount the drill – just use the quick-lock connection to snap the drive unit onto the stand.

    To save time with base materials like smooth concrete, use a vacuum pump to secure your rig without the need for drilling and anchoring.

    Easier Drilling

    Because our drills and inserts are designed to work together.

    Hilti’s high-performing system is built around a powerful core drill, paired with a Hilti core bit.

    From dry drilling in masonry to wet coring in concrete, or from handheld drilling of small anchor holes to rig-based drilling all the way up to Ø600 mm in concrete, we’ve got the core drills and core bits you need.

    Easier time savings

    Because every minute counts.

    For next-level rig coring, add an optional autofeed unit. Just set up your rig and press start. Hilti Cut Assist software then adjusts speed, torque, and water flow, and even detects breakthrough. That frees you up to prep the next hole or do other tasks. Autofeed units are available for Hilti DD 150-U, DD 250-CA, DD 350-CA and DD 500-CA core drills.

    Easier water management

    Because water supply shouldn’t slow you down.

    With the Hilti DD-WMS 100 water management system you get up to one full day of water autonomy for wet diamond coring applications – up to the equivalent of 100 liters of supplied water per tank fill.

    You can save time on cleanup too – slurry is captured and collected in the filter bag.

    System Features

    Which Hilti diamond coring features help you work safer and faster?

    The speed you need

    E-gears

    Work more efficiently. Get up to 24 gears for optimised coring speed for all diameters. E-gears are available with the Hilti DD 350-CA, the DD 500-CA, and with all our cordless core drills.

    Adaptive Torque Control

    Kickback protection

    Hilti’s Adaptive Torque Control (ATC) helps prevent kickback when a core bit jams and the drill starts spinning out of control.
    ATC is available with Hilti DD 150-U-22, DD 110-U-22 and DD 110-D-22 cordless core drills.

    Smart Features

    E-starting aids and rebar boost

    Many Hilti core drills feature smart technologies like electronic starting aids and rebar boost for easier coring. Rebar boost and e-starting aids are available on all tools with e-gears. The Hilti DD 150-U and DD 250-CA also feature e-starting aids.

    Fight Dust

    Integrated dust removal system

    Cut dust exposure when dry coring in masonry with Hilti’s integrated dust removal system (DRS) – available with the Hilti DD 150-U corded core drill and all Hilti cordless core drills.

    Brushless high-torque drives and e-gears help optimise tool efficiency, run time, and energy savings.
    Corded or Cordless

    Should you choose a corded or cordless Hilti diamond core drill?

    All Hilti diamond coring systems are designed for easy, precise coring. Need to move around the jobsite? Don’t have an external power source? Get the flexibility of Hilti cordless coring systems on the Nuron battery platform – including core drills, water tanks and dedicated dust extractors.

    FAQs

    For small-diameter penetrations in concrete, the Hilti SPX-T diamond core bit used with the Hilti DD 30-W core drill is designed for holes from 5/16" to 1-3/8" (8-35 mm). This system is specifically optimised for small-diameter drilling, combining high drilling speeds with efficient core bit performance.

    The DD 30-W operates at significantly higher RPM than conventional diamond drilling systems, while Hilti Top Spin technology helps optimise segment wear on the core bit for faster drilling and longer consumable life. The coring setup can be used handheld or with a drill stand, depending on the application.

    Why it matters
