Bosch GDB 180 WE 2000W Diamond Core Drill, 180mm Capacity

Bosch GDB 180 WE Core Drill

The Bosch Diamond Core Drill provides a high-torque 2000W output designed specifically for wet and dry drilling in reinforced concrete and masonry. This professional-grade motor handles coring diameters up to 180mm, making it an essential tool for mechanical and electrical contractors installing large-bore ventilation, drainage pipes, or structural anchors. The robust construction ensures reliable performance under heavy site loads while maintaining a manageable weight for handheld or stand-mounted operation.

Built for the Job

Site supervisors and trade specialists rely on this equipment for precise penetrations through structural materials. The dual-speed gearbox allows operators to adjust torque and rotational speed based on the core bit diameter and substrate hardness. In dry applications, the unit connects to industrial dust extractors to maintain air quality and visibility. For wet drilling in reinforced concrete, the integrated water cooling system extends diamond bit life and prevents overheating during deep coring tasks.

• Installing 110mm soil pipes through concrete foundations and brickwork.

• Coring for HVAC ducting and ventilation systems in commercial masonry walls.

• Creating cable entries for heavy-duty electrical risers and conduits.

Product Highlights

2000W High-Torque Motor

Delivers consistent power for heavy-duty drilling cycles without stalling in dense reinforced concrete.

Mechanical Overload Clutch

• Prevents kickback if the core bit jams in the substrate.
• Protects the internal gears from excessive mechanical stress.
• Enhances operator safety during high-torque handheld use.

Dual-Speed Transmission

Provides 900 rpm for high-torque large diameters and 2800 rpm for efficient smaller hole drilling.

On-Site & Workshop Notes

• Always ensure the water supply is constant during wet coring to flush slurry and keep diamond segments cool.

• When working handheld, maintain a firm stance and use the auxiliary handle to manage reactive torque.

• For holes exceeding 100mm in hard concrete, mounting the unit on a GCR 180 drill stand provides better stability.

• Regularly inspect the carbon brushes to maintain motor performance during long-term commercial projects.
