Drill for Sale

FOR SALE – Water Fed Drill and Diamond Core Drill Bits

I am only selling as I have upgraded my set up. The Drill is well used but works well.

I am including 10 used but plenty of life, diamond core Drill bits that new are worth several hundred alone. Ranging from 10mm to 50mm. I’ll pop in a dressing stone too.

It could do with a new pump for the water feed soon, but these are easy to change over.
