Which diamond core cutter set do you use? - in - Electrician Forum

Right i think im going to order the Makita Core drill, however i wanted some advise as to which core cutter set i should use with it.
Would like some review on the sets you currently have, as their are so many to pick from.
Would appreciate any good suggestions.
Thanks

I use the Makita with Norton cutters.

I'm originally from the engineering industry, & Norton manufacture grinding wheels so theirs was a name I was already familiar with. Add this to the fact that one of the companies I used to work for back in the '70's made core cutters when this was a quite specialised industry, I think I can recognise a decent core cutter when I see one & for me it's Norton every time.
Each to his / her own though. Buy the best quality you can afford. I can recommend "Norton" as I used these a lot in the past. Last year I was unable to obtain "Norton" from my supplier, in the sizes I required for a particular job, I decided to give "Marcrist" a try, what a revelation! Absolutely superb, speedy and efficient cutting, used either wet or dry. I've cut nearly a hundred holes with a "Marcrist" 117 x 165 CCU850X and still have well defined sharp diamond lands. Is that the same Norton cutters that B&Q sell.

if not how do i get hold of this cutter, could you link a web site.

Hi Bradzz

I've not seen them in B&Q, but that said, I've never looked for them there !!

Screwfix sell them - along with some other brands that I've not tried.

I tried to post a link to the relevant Screwfix page, but it didn't workhttp://www.*************/p/norton-diamond-core-drill-bit-127mm-x-150mm/

EXACTLY, I'm forever trying to drill into people to ALWAYS buy the best quality tools that you can afford to. I don't understand why educated blokes would waste money on poor quality tools. As far as I'm concerned, its always worth spending that extra few quid on something that will last - even if it means that you have to save up for it....
Hence the beauty of this forum - so that you can get recommendations from other members. This forum to me is like working a large site, there is always someone who knows something about something.
