Product Information

Full details

The CorePlus DCEXT250 Drill Bit Extension Bar is an essential tool for professional tradespeople and serious DIY enthusiasts who require extra reach when performing deep drilling tasks with dry diamond core bits. Designed to increase the working length of your existing setup, this extension bar provides reliable performance and secure connectivity for deep-wall penetrations. While it offers excellent versatility, users should be aware of a critical limitation: it is not intended for use with diamond core bits larger than 78mm in diameter to ensure safety and prevent equipment strain.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this extension with a 100mm core bit?

No. The extension is strictly limited to diamond core bits 78mm or smaller in diameter.

Is this compatible with SDS Plus drills?

The extension uses 1/2in BSP threads. To use it with an SDS drill, you must first attach an SDS-to-1/2in BSP adaptor.

Do I need to use thread tape?

Thread tape is generally not required as the threads are precision-machined, but keep them clean to ensure a snug fit.

Can I use this with hammer action enabled?

No. Diamond core bits are designed for rotary drilling only. Engaging hammer action while using an extension can damage the tool and the bit.

What is the total reach added?

This model provides exactly 250mm of additional length.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty separating the extension from the bit

Use two appropriately sized wrenches to break the connection; avoid overtightening during setup.

Excessive vibration during drilling

Check that all threaded joints are tight and ensure your core bit is not wobbling; if vibration continues, reduce drill speed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly increases drilling depth capabilities
  • Industry-standard 1/2in BSP threading
  • Compatible with both CorePlus and third-party diamond core systems
  • Durable build quality for heavy-duty applications

Cons

  • Restricted to use with core bits 78mm or smaller
  • Requires proper alignment to prevent wobble at extended lengths
  • Not intended for use with hammer action drills

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your diamond core bit is disconnected from the power source.
  2. Screw the female end of the extension bar securely onto your diamond core adaptor or drill motor spindle.
  3. Attach your diamond core bit (maximum 78mm) to the male end of the extension bar.
  4. Check that all connections are hand-tight and free from debris.

Compatibility:

This extension is designed for systems utilizing 1/2in BSP threads. It is fully compatible with CorePlus systems and most common industry diamond core brands. Always verify the diameter of your core bit before use.

Care:

Clean the threaded ends after every use to prevent the accumulation of masonry dust. If the threads become difficult to tighten, apply a small amount of anti-seize lubricant. Store in a dry environment to prevent corrosion.
