Customer Reviews for VEVOR 8 Inch/205MM Diamond Core Drilling Machine 3980W Diamond Core Drill Rig with Stand and Drill Bits,Wet Dry Core Drill Rig for Diamond Concrete Drilling Boring (Drill Bit Diameter: 4.25"/108MM)

I bought this core drill to core ten 8" holes through my 4" thick concrete patio for shade structure footings. Let me just say that I have used top name brands like Hilti before and was pretty surprised by the good quality this Vevor core drill is. I have affectionately named her "CHilti". The drill came with a 4.5" core that I did not use but looked high quality. I used a name brand 8" core bit and the machine handled it with zero problems. Chewed right through the rebar and never bound up. The included water hose adapter will work but I recommend buying a threaded garden hose adapter and appropriate fittings to ensure proper water flow during operation. Buying this was cheaper than renting and I would not hesitate to buy another Vevor branded tool for a specialty job due to quality and value they have provided me.

My company ordered this drill to bore through a 9 1/2” retaining wall with reinforced 3/4” rebar, which took about 30 minutes to bore through. Keep in mind I also had to anchor it to the wall and provided my own 3/8” anchor bolts.Overall it’s good for the money And easy to use, although it was lacking instructions.

May be Chinese made and relatively cheap (compared to other big name brands) but this thing sure does behave just like all the name brand ones that I have used over the years. Used on three jobs for my new business and has already paid for itself 5 fold. Also used it with a thread adapter and smaller core barrel to install a pool guard rail for elderly in-laws. Browny points! Remote locations with no running water and works fine with a gravity feed water bucket. Tapped on the side of the core barrel when finished with a small hammer and concrete core fell out every time, like it should. Only down side is that the startup wattage requirement is high and you need a heavy duty generator to power it if you are at a remote location.UPDATE: used on two more jobs and still working fine. One site was just a couple locations, second site was over a dozen cores in both concrete that was 8+ inches deep and old asphalt. Worked fine and did not even trip the fuse when I got impatient and pushed down too hard.... did not realize how thick the concrete was at the site.UPDATE 2: still using it and still going strong after over a year.

great tool , great customer service.....................................................................

Work well!

Excellent product, terrific price. Would recommend 100xs over. Just what we needed for core drilling.

I bought this to make holes in a new lava-rock/concrete wall so I can mount an aluminum fence with 2" posts. I didn't get to use it until today and I am really impressed with how well it worked. I only drilled 3 holes because I was learning how to use it but it really was easy. A couple things about how I'm using it.First, I'm not bolting it down like you're supposed to. Instead, I have a 3 foot long 3x4 with a bolt through one end to locate the 2x4 in the drill stand. It's not bolted to the drill, the bolt in the 2x4 just sits in the slot on the drill so the 2x4 won't come out while I'm using it. The other end of the 2x4 has a small piece of 2x4 attached so that the longer 2x4 is essentially level when it's on the drill base. When using the drill I just sit on the 2x4 in order to secure the drill.The second thing is I adjusted the gibs on the drill head so the head can slide very easily and I just use gravity to feel the core bit. The whole setup takes less than 5 minutes to drill and 8 inch deep 4 inch diameter hole.I've got a few hundred holes to drill, hopefully it will last. :)

The drill is lightweight and easy to handle. We did have to build a bigger plate at the base, but I am very happy with it

I used drill to drill 8" holes in my cement driveway to poles down. This drill did the job without a problem. I was going to rent one of this drills, but for the price of the rental, I was better off purchasing this drill.

Worked perfectly
