The D21585 ... outstanding performance.
Dewalt launches its diamond drill range
01 April 2007
Dewalt, a leading manufacturer of industrial power tools, has launched its complete diamond system.
“The new range of diamond drills offers outstanding performance and durability whilst the stands and attachments are designed to offer a complete solution for every wet and dry drilling application," says Suresh Srinivasan, product manager, Middle East and Africa, Dewalt Industrial Tools.
The range is suitable for a wide range of end-users including electricians, plumbers, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air-conditioning) companies and construction companies.
“Available from this month, the diamond line will be extensive and feature drills and accessories suitable for drilling 22 to 300 mm diameter holes in soft and hard materials,” says Srinivasan.
The range of drills will include the 1,705 W two-speed dry diamond drill (D21580K), the 1,705 W two-speed wet and dry diamond drill (D21582K), the 1,910 W heavy-duty three-speed wet and dry diamond drill (D21583K) and the 2,500 W heavy-duty three-speed wet diamond drilling motor (D21585). Dewalt has built each drill with durability, perfomance, ease of use and comfort in mind, which ensures that each drill is capable of withstanding the most demanding applications,” he states.
For very heavy-duty applications, Dewalt recommends using a stand which can enhance comfort and safety. There are three stands in the range to suit each of the featured drills - the D215821 (a basic small drilling stand), the D215831 (a fully-featured medium drilling stand with integrated vacuum base), and the D215851 (specifically for the drilling motor). Each stand can be fastened to the wall or ceiling in one of three ways: The first method being by a mechanical fastening for which Dewalt offers the complete fixing set, both for concrete and masonry. The easier option is using a bracing bracket (D215835) or equally a vacuum pump (D215837) this being by far the quickest attachment for setting the larger stands in position.
To ensure dust elimination while drilling, Dewalt has introduced the dust extraction adapter (D215804) which should be used in conjunction with the wet and dry extractor (D27902). The D27902 can be used for both wet and dry drilling and features an innovative automatic filter cleaning system which delivers constant suction power, avoiding problems such as filter clogging.
Wet drilling significantly increases working efficiency by increasing the drilling speed and also eliminates dust, making for a safer working environment. To provide water when mains supply is not available, Dewalt has the 10-litre water pressure pump (D215824). Used in conjunction with the extractor, Dewalt also supplies three water-collection rings which do not collect any waste ensuring the working area is kept free of excess water. A different size is available for each stand.
"To complement the diamond system, Dewalt offers a complete range of cores and accessories. Dewalt cores are available in sizes from 22 mm to 300 mm and there is a range for all wet and dry drilling applications. With an optimised diamond segment design, they offer high-speed drilling and long life in a wide range of building materials," Srinivasan concludes.
