Hex Shank Diamond Core Bit Adapters – BSP, 5/8″-11 & Metric Connections

1. Hex Shank Diamond Core Bit Adapters

Professional Connection Solutions for Diamond Core Drilling

ALSKAR Hex Shank Diamond Core Bit Adapters are designed to connect compatible drilling machines with diamond core bits using selected threaded connections.

The current product features a hexagonal drive shank, steel adapter body, 1/2″ BSP male thread, and transverse access hole. This configuration provides a practical connection solution for suitable dry diamond core drilling systems used in masonry and building installation applications.

The ALSKAR Hex Shank Adapter series is being developed to support additional connection types and lengths, helping professional users find appropriate adapters for different drilling equipment.

2. Key Features & Benefits

Hexagonal Drive Shank

The hexagonal shank is designed to fit compatible drill chucks. The actual shank dimensions must be matched to the machine’s chuck capacity.

Threaded Core Bit Connection

The current model features a 1/2″ BSP male threaded connection intended to mate with a compatible female-threaded diamond core bit.

Additional threaded connection options may be available through product development or special inquiry.

Steel Adapter Construction

The steel adapter body provides a practical mechanical connection for compatible professional drilling applications.

Transverse Access Hole

The current adapter includes a transverse opening. Compatibility with pilot drill systems and drift keys depends on the specific adapter design and must be verified.

Standard and Extended Adapter Options

Different adapter lengths are commonly used in professional dry core drilling systems. Standard-length adapters provide compact connections, while extended designs can offer additional working reach.

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.
