DIAMOND CORE DRILL STAND
Introduction:
This drill stand is designed to mount diamond core drilling motors by using a suitable mounting plate or clamp
bracket. A standard 4 bolt mounting spacer is included with this stand. The drill stand guides the motor and
diamond core bit so that it is possible to drill perfectly straight cuts in a safe and controlled manner.
The stand is also able to slant so that holes may be cored at an angle as required.
This stand must be securely fastened to the workpiece using a concrete anchor and fixing kit
WARNING: Do not attempt to use this stand if the mounting system does not fit perfectly to the drilling
motor.
MOUNTING THE MOTOR TO THE DRILL STAND
Rig-Mounted Type Motors:
If the drill motor is the 4 bolt rig-mounted type, the drill stand's mounting plate must be bolted to the drill
motor. The mounting tenon must fit securely in the slot in the back of the drill motor, then evenly tighten the
four bolts.
This mounting plate now acts as a secure and accurate coupling between the drill motor and the drill stand.
The mounting plate now fits in the dovetail in the stand's cradle and is secured by the cradle lock bolt.
Hand-Held Type Motors:
If the drill motor is the hand-held type, the clamp bracket must be used. Then the motor's gearcase collar must
be mounted in the clamp bracket. Generally, the drill motor's side handle will need to be first removed. To
insert, first loosen the clamp bracket using the crank handle as a wrench, then insert the motor, turn to the
desired orientation and then securely fasten the clamp bolt.
DRILLING STAND FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Fastening the drill rig
Once the desired position of the rig is determined, Use a concrete anchor to secure the rig.
Drill a suitable sized hole for the anchor with a hammer drill.
Drive in the anchor.
Use the long threaded rod with the large washer and nut in the fixing kit to secure the base.
Before fully tightening the nut, use a spirit level to check if the stand is level. If needed, loosen the locknuts and
adjust the four leveling bolts to achieve levelness. Then retighten the locknuts.
Now fully tighten the securing nut which affixes the base to the work surface.
