Frequently Asked Questions
What size core bit do I need for a basement bathroom?

For many basement bathroom rough-ins, the 4-inch core bit is the standard starting point for the main drain penetration. Smaller penetrations may require additional sizes.

What size core bit do I need for electrical conduit?

That depends on the conduit outside diameter. Smaller conduit often requires 3/4-inch to 1-inch bits, while larger conduit may require 1-1/2-inch or bigger.

Can core bits drill through reinforced concrete with rebar?

Yes. Diamond core bits can drill through reinforced concrete, though rebar contact increases bit wear and can slow the drilling process.

Do I need to wet cut with a diamond core bit?

Wet cutting is strongly recommended because it extends bit life and suppresses silica dust. Indoor drilling may require water and slurry control measures.
