When it comes to cutting through concrete, metal, tile, or stone, no ordinary blade will do. These materials demand the strength of a diamond — the hardest substance on earth.
Drilling into reinforced concrete can be difficult due to its dense and tough composition. To prevent damage to the material and reduce the risk of breaking the drill bit, it's important to choose the appropriate tools and methods. A commonly used and effective approach is to drill with a diamond core bit, which is specifically designed to handle reinforced concrete.
Concrete cancer occurs when the steel reinforcement within a concrete slab starts to corrode. As the steel rusts, it expands, causing the surrounding concrete to crack and weaken, which worsens the damage. Common signs of concrete cancer include delaminated concrete and visible cracks, often referred to as concrete spalling.
