Anchor bolt installation in reinforced concrete requires wet core bits that survive rebar contact without segment loss.
Structural and mechanical contractors drill anchor bolt holes through reinforced concrete walls and slabs where rebar strikes are common. Protec Tools diamond core drill bits use laser welded or sintered segments designed to cut through aggregate and embedded steel without unsafe segment ejection.
Bit Selection
- Laser welded segments for overhead and vertical structural holes.
- Hard bond for high-strength concrete; medium bond for general construction.
- Extension rods available for deep anchor installations.
Drilling Protocol
- Mark hole location and scan for post-tensioning if applicable.
- Drill wet with steady feed; reduce pressure when rebar is encountered.
- Extract core plug before advancing to full depth.
- Verify hole diameter meets anchor manufacturer tolerance.
Protec Tools supplies core bits from 20mm to 200mm for hand-held and rig-mounted drills.
