Which size for a 110mm soil pipe?

A 117mm core leaves about 3.5mm clearance each side of a 110mm pipe. 112mm is a very tight fit, while a 127mm core gives more room to seal around the pipe.

Dry or wet core?

Dry cores (DCU350, DCU550, DCU750X, PC850 and CCU850X) cut without water, so with dust extraction there is no slurry to clean up indoors. The PC850 also runs from a percussion drill. Wet cores (the WCU and WF850X ranges) need a water feed, are the usual choice for heavily reinforced concrete and are often used on a drilling rig. The CCW850X is a semi-wet core that needs only a little water.
