Yes they do. My catalogs are at my other studio but I looked this up
for a friend a few months back. They go down to at least 1/8", and smaller as I recall. The life of the smaller core drills is of course shorter than the larger sizes, but still hundreds if not thousands of times longer than a solid plated diamond drill. Also, I would disagree with Bob Stephan on his site when he says you must use the center feed with a core drill. I used core drills for many years in a bath, and then with a water jet. I agree though they work vastly better with the center feed system. The problem was when I went to the center feed I had to switch over to belgians which cost more than anything else. But its a testament to plated core drills that I have never thrown one out, some of those shank style drills that I have are ten years old now and have drilled thousands of holes. The main trick is learning how to dress them right which I had to figure out. |
