For those looking for convenience and value, we also provide two case options: a 7-piece and an 11-piece set, ensuring you have the right size for every job.

Technical Advancements in CorePlus Diamond Core Bits

Each core bit benefits from cutting-edge diamond/metal bonding and advanced metallurgy, ensuring a long-lasting core life that stands up to the rigours of continuous use.


The ribbed core body and V-groove segments are meticulously designed for the fast clearing of debris, which, coupled with the aerated core design, enhances cooling and significantly extends the core's lifespan. Moreover, these bits are compatible with standard core drilling machines and accessories, thanks to their 1/2in BSP threaded design, making them a versatile addition to any toolkit.

CorePlus Adaptors and Accessories

To maximize the performance of CorePlus Diamond Core Bits, T.H. Wiggans Ironmongery offers a range of precision-engineered adaptors and accessories designed to cater to various drilling requirements and scenarios. Here's a closer look at each accessory:


  • CorePlus SDS Extension Adaptors: These adaptors are crucial for projects requiring additional length to reach deeper drilling points. Available in 115mm and 240mm options, they are compatible with CorePlus and other brands of dry diamond core bit systems with a 1/2in BSP thread. The extension adaptors are ideal for extending the working length of diamond cores, ensuring that no project is out of reach.
  • CorePlus Hex Extension Adaptors: Available in 240mm and 88mm lengths, these adaptors are designed for use in 13mm (1/2in) drill chucks, providing the necessary extension to work with diamond cores efficiently. The 240mm option, however, is not recommended for use with diamond cores larger than 78mm in diameter, ensuring safety and optimal performance.

  • CorePlus Drill Bit Extension Bar 250mm: Designed to further enhance the versatility of your CorePlus drilling system, the DCEXT250 Drill Bit Extension Bar allows for an increase in the adaptor's working length. With 1/2in BSP female and 1/2in BSP male threaded ends, it's an essential accessory for drilling through thicker walls or materials, ensuring that even the most challenging projects are within reach. However, it's important to note that it should not be used with diamond cores larger than 78mm in diameter to maintain safety and tool integrity.
  • CorePlus Tapered Masonry Drill Bit M10 x 200mm: This tapered masonry drill bit is designed for use with CorePlus and other brands of dry diamond core bit systems requiring the use of an 'A' taper pilot drill bit. It's an essential component for precise drilling, ensuring accurate pilot holes for seamless core bit insertion and operation.

By integrating these accessories with your  CorePlus Diamond Core Bits, you enhance your drilling capabilities, ensuring that every project is completed with precision, efficiency, and safety. T.H.
