Bosch GCR 180 Drill Stand, 180mm Max Capacity, for GDB 180 WE

Bosch GCR 180 Drill Stand

The Bosch GCR 180 Stand serves as the primary support system for the GDB 180 WE diamond core drill, enabling precise vertical and angled penetrations in heavy masonry. This structural rig allows for controlled feed rates during high-torque drilling operations. It ensures the core bit remains perfectly aligned throughout the bore depth.

Built for the Job

Site supervisors and plumbing contractors require this rig when extracting cores for drainage pipes or HVAC ducting through reinforced concrete slabs. The aluminum column provides a lightweight yet rigid track that prevents bit wandering, which often occurs during handheld operation of large-diameter bits. The rack and pinion drive mechanism translates minimal user effort into consistent downward pressure. This is essential for maintaining the life of diamond segments. It mounts securely to floors or walls using standard M12 anchor bolts, providing the necessary stability for bits up to 180mm in diameter.

• Wet core drilling in reinforced concrete where hand-held operation is unsafe or lacks precision.

• Angled penetrations for drainage systems using the integrated tilt adjustment scale.

• Series drilling in masonry for cable tray installations or structural reinforcements.

Product Highlights

Rigid Aluminum Column

The 767mm column utilizes a high-strength aluminum alloy to reduce total weight to 9.4kg for easier site transport.

Precision Feed Control

• Dual-sided handwheel mounting accommodates both left and right-handed operators.
• Rack and pinion drive ensures smooth travel across the 514mm stroke.

Versatile Base Design

• Base plate designed for both anchor bolt fixing and vacuum seal compatibility.
• Integrated leveling screws allow for adjustment on uneven floor surfaces.

On-Site & Workshop Notes

• Always lubricate the drive rack with light machine oil to maintain smooth movement and prevent premature wear.

• Verify that the anchor bolt is rated for the specific concrete density before applying full torque to the core bit.

• Use the built-in bubble level on the carriage to ensure the assembly is perfectly vertical before starting the motor.

• When using vacuum mounting, ensure the surface is non-porous and the pressure gauge remains in the safe zone.
