Are AMEC drills suitable for coring applications?
Yes, however, it is not normally recommended. AMEC drills are center cutting and designed to drill from solid material. Pilot holes and spot drilling are not typically required. If spot drilling is performed, a tool with an included angle greater than or equal to that of the AMEC drill, should be used. This allows the chisel point of the AMEC drill to contact the work piece first, thus providing a stable entry.
