6. How to Select the Correct Adapter
Step 1 — Identify the Machine Connection
Check the drill chuck type and maximum shank capacity.
Step 2 — Identify the Core Bit Thread
Confirm the required thread diameter, pitch, and male or female configuration.
Step 3 — Select the Adapter Length
Choose a length appropriate for the drilling setup and required access. A longer adapter does not increase the drilling capacity of the machine.
Step 4 — Verify Operating Compatibility
Ensure that the machine, adapter, and diamond core bit are compatible with the intended drilling diameter, speed, torque, and operating method.
7. Operating Recommendations
- Use standard diamond core bits in rotation-only mode.
- Do not use hammer or percussion mode.
- Follow the drilling machine manufacturer’s instructions.
- Use appropriate dust extraction and personal protective equipment.
- Ensure the machine has suitable torque control and overload protection for the intended drilling application.
- Do not assume wet drilling compatibility without approval for the complete equipment system.
- Inspect adapter threads and shank condition before use.

9. Frequently Asked Questions
What are hex shank diamond core bit adapters used for?
Hex shank adapters connect compatible drill chucks
to diamond core bits with matching threaded connections.
They are commonly used in dry masonry core drilling
systems and professional installation applications.
What threaded connections are available?
The current ALSKAR model features a 1/2″ BSP male
connection. Additional 5/8″-11 and metric connection
options are under consideration. Please contact us
to confirm availability and specifications.
What is the difference between 1/2″ BSP and 5/8″-11?
These are different thread standards and are not
directly interchangeable. Choose the adapter that
matches the core bit’s thread diameter, pitch,
and male or female connection.
Are standard and extended adapters available?
Professional hex shank adapter systems commonly
include standard and extended lengths. Contact ALSKAR
DIAMOND to confirm the lengths and connection
configurations currently available.
Can the adapter be used with a pilot drill?
Some hex shank adapter systems support pilot drills
and drift keys. Compatibility depends on the
adapter’s internal design and pilot drill fitting.
Please confirm the required system before ordering.
Can these adapters be used with SDS Plus or SDS Max?
Hex shank, SDS Plus, and SDS Max are different
connection systems. Use a compatible adapter
designed for your machine’s tool holder.
Can I use hammer mode with diamond core bits?
Standard non-percussion diamond core drilling
requires rotation-only operation. Do not engage
hammer or impact mode. Follow the equipment
manufacturer’s operating instructions.
How do I select the correct hex shank adapter?
Check the drill chuck capacity, hex shank size,
core bit thread, adapter length, machine torque
capacity, and drilling requirements.
Contact ALSKAR DIAMOND for technical assistance.
Do you offer wholesale or custom adapters?
Contact ALSKAR DIAMOND with your connection
requirements, dimensions, estimated quantity,
and destination market for availability
and quotation.
