Concrete drilling and dowelling company E-Z Drill has introduced a "new concept" in concrete drills with the Model 240B SRA combo drill system. Combining the standard features of its Model 210B SRA with the capability of converting to a pneumatic core drill, the Model 240B SRA caters to both rock-drilling and core-drilling applications, eliminating the need for a separate drill system. The company says that the conversion process requires just a few simple tools and can be quickly conducted while on the jobsite. E-Z Drill adds that the model features totally pneumatic operation, with the core drill utilising a three-speed motor (400, 900 and 1,600rpm) and it requires a minimum of 2.1m³/min for operation, whereas the standard rock drill configuration requires 2.83m³/min. The unit can core and drill holes from 1.58cm diameter up to 6.35cm, and drill up to 45.72cm deep. The 240B SRA's compact frame design allows the unit to operate in a 1.2m patch while drilling to within 15.24cm of a corner. Furthermore, it is adjustable to drill into the centre of a concrete slab, from 15.24cm to 60.96cm thick. For increased production, the core drill system does not need to be anchored to the concrete, virtually eliminating any set-up time. The operator simply needs to roll the unit to the coring location and begin drilling. For added versatility, the 240B SRA can drill vertically with either the rock drill or core drill configuration after just a few adjustments.
