Components of Coring Systems

Coring systems require three main components: a cup, a shank, and a starter bit. These parts work together to create precise, clean holes in tough materials. Core bits are available in various sizes, accommodating hole diameters up to 6 inches.

  1. Coring Cup: The coring cup is the primary component that comes into contact with the material. It is designed to remove a cylindrical section of the material, creating a hole. Coring cups come in different sizes to suit various applications.

  2. Shank: The shank connects the coring cup to the hammer drill. There are different types of shanks, including rope thread shanks and tapered shanks, each offering specific advantages depending on the application and material.

  3. Starter Bit: The starter bit is used to initiate the coring process, ensuring the coring cup remains stable and accurate during drilling.

Subcategories of Spline and Rotary Systems

Spline and Rotary style coring systems are categorized based on the type of shank and the application. The main subcategories include:

  1. Fluted Core Bits with Rope Thread Shanks: These core bits are designed with fluted sides and use a rope thread shank for secure attachment to the drill. They are suitable for various drilling tasks in concrete and masonry.

  2. Fluted Core Bits with Tapered Shanks: Similar to the previous type, these core bits feature fluted sides but use a tapered shank, providing a different method of attachment and stability.

  3. Thin Wall Core Bits with Rope Thread Shanks: These core bits are designed with thinner walls, making them ideal for applications where precision and minimal material removal are crucial. They also use rope thread shanks for attachment.
