The MK-Manta III Core Drill, with Milwaukee motor will operate in either a high or low gear speed.
This speed combined with applied pressure provides the cutting action for the core bit. Speed selec-
tion and pressure are determined by hardness of material, aggregate size and grade of diamond
core bit. Generally, harder material and larger aggregates require more speed and pressure. Use low
speed for large diameter bits and high speed for small diameter bits. Changing of the speeds is ac-
complished by using the speed shift lever built into the gear case.
All building materials and work surfaces are composed of aggregates of various size. Aggregates are
materials such as gravel or crushed stone. The size of the grains and the hardness of the material
affects the speed of drilling. Most building materials contain some type of steel reinforcements. All
MK-Manta III bits are designed to cut through these types of reinforcing steel. However, bits should
never be used for drilling solid steel plates. Proper selection of the diamond core bit should be based
on material to be drilled and performance requirements.
