127mm or 117mm for a soil pipe?

A 110mm soil pipe leaves about 8.5mm each side in a 127mm hole, compared with about 3.5mm in a 117mm hole. The bigger hole is easier to line up and seal; the smaller one needs less making good. For 125mm ducting, 127mm is a very tight fit, so a 132mm core gives more clearance.

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.

Other popular sizes: 38-42mm, 52mm, 107mm, 117mm and 152mm. Or browse all diamond core drill bits and core drill sets.
