Wet diamond tool innovation from Marchrist

Marcrist International, one of the UK's leading manufacturers of diamond tools, has launched an innovative new range of wet diamond core drills and machines.

The range consists of three drilling kits - Compact, Midi and Maxi, which are priced from only GBP848, along with a choice of 26 different sizes of cores.

The new range comprises three professional diamond drills, with stands, which includes 5 years service and repair when redeeming Marcrist service vouchers supplied free with Marcrist diamond cores and a lifetime manufacturer's warranty.

The Compact is supplied with an ultra light DS150 drill stand whilst Midi has the DS250 drill stand with wheeled base and vacuum and bolt down foot.

Both Midi and Maxi are supplied with the DDM3 drill and are capable of drilling up to 152mm holes in concrete and 200mm holes in brick.

Maxi, which again has a wheeled base and vacuum and bolt down foot and is supplied with the DDM4 drill, is capable of drilling 250mm holes in concrete and 350mm homes in brick.

The new range provides the most efficient, safest, cheapest and fastest method of forming anchors and through-holes in any type of material.

Tests have shown Marcrist's new diamond core drills take only six minutes to create a perfect hole with minimal noise and no dust or making good, compared to 52 minutes for a hammer and chisel.

Even when compared to other diamond cores, Marcrist's TuV (independently) witnessed and verified average time for drilling 100 holes is over 50 per cent faster than nearest competitor.

Marcrist's new wet diamond cores have significantly less vibration, which means they dramatically reduce the most commonly reported industrial disease HAVS (Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome) and Vibration White Finger (VWF).

For this reason, HSE and most leading drill manufacturers recommend diamond drilling instead of rotary hammer drilling, especially as protecting the four million employees at risk from vibration is now a legal requirement.

Independent tests indicated that the maximum number of holes before vibration limit is reached with a tungsten carbide tip core, even with vibration dampening, when drilling an 82mm diameter, 300 mm deep hole in B45 un-reinforced limestone concrete, is only 1.3.

The vibration limit would not be reached using Marcrist's new DDM3, without vibration dampening, until 605 holes had been drilled.

The core drills are much longer lasting than any equivalent product in the market.

The three machines: DDM2, DDM3 and DDM4 are also lower cost than any other product, which makes them a viable option to all users.

Marcrist is so confident of the benefits of the new range that it is offering customers a 30-day money back guarantee and in the unlikely event of anything going wrong, free core and machine repairs.

Mario Halbeisen, International Sales and Marketing Director, explains: "Our new range of wet diamond core drills and machines offer significant benefits in terms of cost and time savings for users".

"When you consider all the other safety benefits, there has never been a better time to try our new range".

Marcrist predict that the new range will mean many end users avoid having to commission a professional drilling company and, with these services costing anything up to GBP500 per hole, it will again save a huge amount of time and money.

Marcrist offers a full training programme for end users.

The new range is available nationally through merchants and stockists.
